"More of us than you think," he repeats, partially to himself but also because the possibilities in that phrase feel endless. There are things he's seen here and there, from those he's met both in person and in the Horizon, but with what all can happen in the latter Claude was never certain what translated to outside of it too. Yet another entry of the list of what he wants to know the longer he's been here in Abraxas.
The explanation of Grisha abilities makes it clearer to Claude that there's some differences between what they can do in what sounds to him like being able to focus those abilities into different areas rather than only have what a Crest grants. He's still dwelling on the manipulating the body part of what Jesper's said, vaguely wondering if that's another term for the shape shifting he knows of, and nearly misses the objects and materials part which follows. That pulls his attention back and he's about to open his mouth and ask when the demonstration begins with the fork flying through the air to Jesper's grasp.
Instead, he watches with his mouth dropped slightly for a couple seconds before shutting it to not attract attention if anyone's looking. The fork changes forms with what feels like each time he blinks, and at the end of it - he can't help reaching out to tap the fork's handle with a couple fingertips tentatively. It's as solid as the one on his own plate.
"Huh," is what comes out of his mouth first after withdrawing his hand, and he's quiet for a few beats while mulling this over. Normally, Claude would be attempting to play it cool in favor of not giving a full reaction to anything and everything, but this? There's no point in concealing wonderment over something which happened so seamlessly in front of him and without magic involved. "Your ability - does it have a name? And does it apply to all objects or only certain ones?"
