[ Sylvain's stillness isn't something he takes a good sign. Looking like he's steadying himself by holding on rather than digging around in the garden - also not anything good, as if the other man's using this to brace himself while trying to not give the appearance of doing just that. It'd be convincing if it wasn't for everything else creating the bigger picture.
Like being asked what they know about Miklan as a precursor to whatever might follow it, and Claude wonders if that's not a way to direct the conversation around something. It feels close enough to his own tactics that it's more than possible. Likely, even. ]
I knew a little bit more than that thanks to listening to most of what my grandfather told me. Or just reading his correspondence to keep myself informed. [ Claude dusts his own hands off after the plant's as taken care of as it can be, and he looks up to first Hilda and then Sylvain before continuing. ] There was some information considering if his... group traveled over into the Alliance, most lords wanted to know. Boring reports, mostly, and I'd never seen him until we went to the Tower.
[ A mission he's certainly not forgotten for how they were sent after that Relic, and the warning sent to them all as they'd watched the Lance claim Miklan into its terrible power which had raised more questions in his mind about how Teach could wield the Sword of the Creator. The latter's not important, and so Claude joins Hilda in waiting for whatever Sylvain will say next. ]
