But the conversation hadn't left his mind, fortunately; the one other Summoned he'd spoken to about this didn't seem to have this particular kind of encounter either and so Claude was left to consider it alone. So it'd felt, anyway, until now. ]
And truthfully, I don't know. They made a point of mentioning I was strategic, [ with a bit of a wry smile, both because it's true and Claude certainly made no attempt to hide as much during the brief talk, ] in a way which sounded appreciative. It's not an inaccurate description considering I was trying to get as much information out of them as they were willing to give while they tried to do the same. When it's all added together it feels considerably like something else, though. More blatant than what we've been presented with so far, especially if it was someone in power truly looking for allies.
