[ Underwhelming is probably right, but Sylvain's just relieved he hadn't irrevocably fucked this up.
So he eyes that outstretched hand a moment before huffing out a soft, relieved laugh as he reaches out to clasp it with his own. His grip is warm as he gives Claude's hand a squeeze, then tugs him closer, because all of the tense distance is getting to him and that was the last thing he wanted to remain between them.
He doesn't point out that he thought that's what they were already doing, because he figures he's shoved his foot in his mouth enough for one day. Instead, he lets his tone turn light as he counters with a teasing poke back at a different conversation they'd had recently. ]
Fine. But you better not be expecting me to do all the work again.
