[ Eat them in retaliation gets a snort of laughter from Claude as he adjusts Hilda's arms around his neck first to make sure she has a secure enough hold, then resettles her legs around his waist with hands over them to keep her in place as he stands up and starts to walk. Sure enough - and despite the complaints he'd never meant in the first place - this brings back the memory of doing this all those times before, and there's a fond smile on his face as they set out. ]

I, ah. Sylvain has a point that we're probably not welcome at that cafe again for a while.

[ Never let it be said he doesn't occasionally feel some guilt over the chaos caused by a barely thought through plan put together in an instant, and maybe had they been the only drunken patrons of the night that wouldn't have been the case. He's just going to shrug as best he can without dislodging Hilda in the process. ]

But look at this way, that just means we need to check out even more cafes when we're here next time! That can't be the only one that's open, and maybe they'll have an even better selection of pastries. Or teas, since I think we should've bought more of those too while we were there to see if they're better than what's in Cadens. I can't remember what all was on the menu.

[ On second thought: going back wouldn't be the worst idea. ]
