For all his chatter, Claude recognizes when someone responds with what answers the question and at the same time also says don't beneath it.

Not having been back to somewhere in a long time: something else he can relate to too well.

Something he might've said aloud were it not for that soon revealed as unnecessary alarm over a rabbit of all things. Said rabbit's unlikely to injure them any time soon, and even with all the strange occurrences he's seen since arriving Claude doubts it's going to transform into anything larger out of nowhere.

It takes him a second to piece together Ciri's question with realizing his hand went to the sword without fully recognizing the action, and Claude blinks down at it and withdraws it with his hand on the hilt to show her even though he's also assuming she's familiar with it by knowing whose handiwork it is.

"Sure is. It's the first weapon I picked up here since bows were a bit out of my price range until recently. Jayce recommended this one to me. I've never seen a collapsible sword before since the ones I'm used to look more like yours." Said with a nod to Ciri's own weapon as he replaces this sword back at his hip. "Swords aren't my specialty even though they're the first weapon I trained with when I was a kid. But - if I had to guess - I'd say they're yours."
