At the confirmation Claude smiles - a real smile and with no less of the combined melancholy of another goodbye and the pleasure that one more friend has chosen what they want for themselves. Wilhelm is no exception as he listens to the explanation and nods at the end.

"I hear they're going to have quite the grand adventure, so it'll be good to go with them. See some more sights and new places beyond coming here since if all the surprises we've had to go by there's certainly more in store wherever you go." Good ones only, though. That'd be his preference for his friends who are leaving and even more so for the group traveling to, from, and across multiple worlds.

"Even if this has become home, it's never a bad thing to leave it to seek something new. I'd say I did the same, but. Leaving one part of a continent for another probably isn't as drastic as going between worlds." To say the least. Still, least that seem too insincere Claude lets the light teasing drop as he studies Wilhelm for a moment. "I hope your next home is everything you want it to be and more."
