Huh. Height was a good one he hadn't thought about disguising, considering it hadn't crossed his mind until entering their ballroom and seeing what some of the other attendees had done. That would've come in handy for more reasons than one, but one of them is definitely an added layer here.
"It might be." Which is as good as saying yes and Claude knows that, but never let it be said he likes to make anything easy even when the answer's something easily read as something more straightforward than what's said. He's smiling as he says it, too, since the plan doesn't end there and this is some entertaining and harmless fun while considering what's been verified.
"I'm guessing yours is your own or rather close to it as well since if you've stumbled, it's not anything beyond not knowing the steps which any of us can hardly be faulted for in a new place. I think this might be your real hair," not that it looks immediately familiar and isn't mostly disguised by the hat, but every good guessing list needs one random thing thrown in there, "and that you're perhaps on the younger side."
The last being more of a guess than the way he says it has a statement might seem; it's one of his tactics from years of bothering Lysithea to toss that out now and then. The woman in question has a predictable response he relies on - might as well see how this goes here. Worst case scenario, whoever it is turns out to be significantly older than him and laughs in his face, which Claude would also find plenty amusing.
