[ Claude hums in response, ready to let that go and especially so since he'd misunderstood the meaning. It's not ranked high in the order of importance right now when there's time to discuss it later should Viktor choose to or want to, and Claude's not going to press for answers he's not entitled to when it comes to this. Especially not when it's easier to crack a smile at Viktor's (correct) insistence on when it comes to the actual matters at hand: who can figure out what. ]

That I don't believe either on the matters of intelligence since they haven't had anyone challenge it the way you're going to, nor are they ready for that. I'll also keep bringing you these, [ because the pastry box was only meant to be temporarily forgotten once more as he picks it up for Viktor to browse for now or for later, ] when I stop by to make sure you're set with everything. I'll plan on coming by in the morning so we can get started then, if that works for you.

[Cadens stole the ritual from Thorne in the first place--that in itself is proof enough for Viktor. With the right building blocks, he's sure he'll be able to replicate it himself. Even if he can't scrape up an idea of what they're doing, he'll puzzle it out himself. He has to--there's no other choice.]

That's fine. [He eyes the pastries, understanding what it's about but so far not moving to indulge.] I'll be here.

[Where else?]

wrap here? <3

[ The pastries aren't acknowledged further though he wasn't expecting them to be, and it's confirmation that Viktor will still be here that's good enough. There's only so much reassurance he can add by saying it aloud, he thinks, and this is when action becomes more important.

Why is why Claude nods and then sits back again without pushing the box in yet another temptation; that can wait. Tomorrow's another day where the ritual also waits to be unraveled then on top of everything else to come, and for now it's enough to sit here as long as needed before getting to anything else. ]
