[ This feels familiar - not that he's dealt with anything quite like arriving here. But finding out that a place isn't what it seems, that there's all kinds of machinations beneath and woven into the fabric of everything going on around them? Fodlan had so much more to unravel in it that he'd ever guessed after first arriving in search of a way to change things.
Abraxas is not the same situation, and there's been so much more to learn. But it's not something he's done unwillingly, not after equally careful steps laid to move closer a bit at a time as things have aligned, and there's more yet to be uncovered. More to understand about what can change here and what can't, and how to handle either one.
The risks, needless to say, are high. But that's never stopped Claude from taking something on yet, and the last few years spent in Fodlan have shown him what can be achieved by working together rather than alone. ]
Of course. I should say the same of any plans you may come up with, though I'll leave it at liking to hear those, too.
[ With a grin, since he's not going to assume one conversation about this will amount to trust for the rest - if there is a 'rest' or wherever things may lead. For now Claude picks up his bowl again to resume eating and turns the conversation to something lighter. They've earned as much. ]
