"With the Cadens people, hm?" It's less a question than confirmation since Shepard provides the additional details needed for filling in the blanks a second later with the paperwork in her hands after they trade a handshake. That's interesting in its own right and has him raising an eyebrow seconds later. "I think you're the first one of us I've met that's working with the government, though I'm sure you're not the only one. Not like they made it seem like there was much a choice for anything else upon arriving. Well, for the military side of things, at any rate."

Statements not meant to provoke, considering he's not trying to make her job any more difficult than it needs to be and will keep up that easygoing attitude to underscore pleasantry despite his curiosity. Other Summoned might do that as it depends on who Shepard will have to chat with, and - from a place of solidarity, despite his misgivings about the Free Cities - it wasn't that long ago Claude was filling out forms tracking information himself. Granted, it was for his own war efforts and not someone else's, but still. No need to be hostile about it without a good enough reason first.

"Sadly, I can't claim any of the businesses around Cadens as my own, but you have successfully found where I live so I suppose I can start with verifying that part of their records. What else are they wanting to double check?"
