[ The locks can wait for a minute. While he doesn't think Sylvain is going to forget that little tidbit quite so easily, it can take a backseat to everything else.
If Sylvain was somehow hoping that the sudden and intentional evasiveness was going to go unnoticed - well. Claude hadn't been specifically watching the other man through anything more than the corner of his eye at first, but that little facade fades away when he turns to look at Sylvain properly and notes each part of that avoidance. Maybe any other time he would've been tempted to let this go, too. But they've already done enough of that this afternoon, and Sylvain's chosen to answer him rather than sidestep around it.
And there's a part of that which feels unsaid which Claude himself understands rather well, isn't there? ]
It's alright if you miss them but don't want them to be here because it'd mean going back to something you don't want. I like you for who you are rather than who you'd pretended to be.
