[ Said with the tone of a man who needs no such insistence to partake in the food he'd brought to share - but this counts as sharing since it's with Cid, right? Right. That's absolutely the excuse he's going to use with Hilda and Sylvain if they see this or get word of it.
As he takes a bite of his own food and surveys the table once more, Claude grabs one cup to put it first in front of Cid and then another to put in front of himself before taking a seat. The food is, as always, as good as the samples of it he'd helped himself to while it was cooking. Something he might've gone on about next though instead Claude tilts his head thoughtfully and listens as Cid speaks. ]
It'll be something different, but... at least we can also say it's entirely ours. That's important and will matter to those who stay no matter how long it might end up being.
[ Since the latter part is to be determined, but the smile which lifts one corner of his mouth as he looks across at Cid is certainly genuine. Sure, the Summoned found places to belong no matter which territory they'd been brought to after being pulled through the portal, but this will be something built almost entirely by them. ]
During the war, I found the hope of what was waiting on the other side was what I needed to keep going. I'd imagine the same will be true here for anyone staying or leaving.
