[ Fortunately for Sylvain, Claude's too busy between the multitude of distractions including thinking through what even mind reading would look like should it actually function as its very literal title and the hands moving over him. Another chuckle leaves him when Sylvain voices exactly what he was thinking: it'd likely be more of a curse than any sort of help, wouldn't it? Talk about overwhelming. He'll settle for having to comb through his own endless thoughts without the help of anyone else's cluttering in there, too.
The silence is a comfortable one and one Claude doesn't even feel compelled to fill with anything else. He could attempt to keep distracting the other from his task - something that's not worked yet - but there's a quiet kind of simplicity in just being here enjoying each other's company. Something he'd noticed long ago on nights where they'd spent time reading separate books or working on other projects. It's nice. Really nice. Not enough to put him to sleep quite yet, but maybe a little closer. ]
You know, you're the second person to ask me that recently. [ That's stretching the truth a bit considering he'd asked Jayden that first, but it still counts (to Claude) considering he'd had to answer it. There's a few seconds of delay while he contemplates that then arrives at a decision. ] I said then that being able to make something just from tasting it might be nice. Convenient, if nothing else. I wouldn't mind being able to create portals like the ones to the other cities either. Oh, or to snap my fingers and have everything around the room go back to where it's supposed to be.
[ That last one might be entirely an attempt to make Sylvain laugh, and now it's only fair to turn it back around. ] What about you, what would you pick?
