I've survived worse, Sylvain. I'll be fine. Besides, imagine how boring of a cause of death 'stabbed by a scorpion' would be when it's not even a horse-sized one to make it worthwhile, so I'm definitely not claiming that as my own.

[ Time to joke, of course, mostly because that's better than focusing on what 'worse' might consist of or any further mentions of death what with that whole war thing Claude's content to go right back to ignoring. Some of it might also be due to giddiness from the magic actually working to take out their angry bug friends who were just enjoying their scorpion lives before they showed up. Even if he has to stop to sneeze thanks to the sand before going right back to scorpion-wrangling, it was still well worth it. ]

Besides, it's a little late for the not moving part considering these guys won't leave us alone. I'll take my chances, mostly because I'm also counting on your healing magic if it's a bad gamble.

[ This is his idea of reassuring. Enjoy, Sylvain. ]
