Sylvain just nods along as if that had been exactly what he'd said. "I am considered very foolish quite often, it's true." He's pretty sure that's not what Kaz meant him to take away from that statement, but that's not exactly a conversation for a dark and potentially dangerous back alley.

He looks curious at Kaz's statement about his reputation, thinking back to what little Jesper's told him. It's enough to pique his curiosity, anyway, although there's no tactful way to really ask about that. "Do you like your reputation?" He suspects that might be where the difference lay.
