[ Though he's in and out most days, today Claude happens to be reading further inside. Or, well, reading in the technical sense; given that there's parchment papers scattered around the stacks of books next to him and a quill that remains inked (thanks, Horizon) in one hand it's more accurate to say he's reviewing some research left undone by coming here. When there's a sudden chirp he's learned means visitors imminent he closes the book with a handily conjured up bookmark to save his spot in it for later, stands up and dusts off his coat and trousers, and heads to see who it might be.
As Claude steps out from the inner courtyard there's only a slight flicker of surprise from him someone is already standing there, but there's absolutely no surprise about the glare from the wyvern perching on what seems to be her designated lookout spot as he glances to her. ]
You're a very poor welcoming committee, you know. One might even think you don't even like people based on your behavior.
[ This is said with great cheer towards the wyvern who looks deeply unaffected by this proclamation and simply ruffles her wings a bit in acknowledgement. With a roll of his eyes - given that her behavior here is so much like what deals with daily from her real-life much larger counterpart; thanks, memories - he turns to the young man she was lightly menacing and appraises him for a few seconds with a smile. ]
I don't believe we've met before, but it's nice to see new faces around here. I trust the boat is still working well, then? I'd made some changes to it recently and was hoping that'd be the case, but you're the first to test it out.
