The pin being adjusted is appreciated, but it's not enough to distract him if that was the hope behind it. Probably not since there's a comment to go with that which just gets a noncommittal hum from Claude since responding to that would give his princely friend a chance to change the subject.

For a second, anyway, since he'd pursue this one right back into the forefront. Nothing like that needs to happen and he smiles slightly at the answer he receives. It reminds him ever so slightly of his own attempts to shrug off something someone'd said when younger and when he thought he was far craftier about it than he probably was, even with all those honed skills to make it so.

"Interestingly enough, the person who made that remark didn't think I looked like either one of those either. Just another thing the two of you have in common." He's more than a little amused now considering he's pretty sure they both know They Know, but still. "Along with liking cats, a dislike of schools, and a knowledge of royalty of somewhere where they were from. Does any of that sound familiar?"
