It doesn't long for him to wander into the Horizon after that open invitation, especially not after Shepard had mentioned it so offhand to him before. Quickly, it becomes very apparent that this is not the kind of range he knows.

At first it seems like there's no one around, but that's only because he's distracted by observing everything. The targets - those he does have the common sense to view from a distance, so as to not interrupt whatever anyone else is doing or, presumably, be shot - resemble nothing he's familiar with. Then again, that's certainly been the theme of most of what Claude's been introduced to in Cadens falls into that category, so he takes it in stride.

Somewhat literally since he also hasn't stopped moving about the area to learn what he can like this is some scouting mission, but the weapons racks are what finally get him to stay in one spot. There's a couple he recognizes from the barracks months ago, ones the guards had on them he hadn't bothered to ask about in case they took that as the wrong kind of interest in the barracks' purpose, and Claude leans forward to study those first.

Footsteps approaching have him looking up as their owner approaches, and Claude offers Shepard a smile and yet another handshake if she'd like it. "You've made an offer I'm too curious to refuse, and it's learning something new. None of these exist where I'm from, so I'm starting from the beginning here."
