[ There's a grin at the mention of Lorenz being ready to throw a fit, since honestly - and something they both know, which is why he leaves it unsaid - is that that described Lorenz so frequently in those days. Less so in current times from what he remembers, though there's never a time in which Claude feels the chance of a lecture, haranguing, or something otherwise punctuated by Scoffs™ is zero. Or was, since maybe he should be thinking about that in past tense.
That's not something he cares to do, however, since it skirts too close to thinking about the realities of being here and the amount of time between the both of them. The latter is something Claude would rather not think about at all even if life in Abraxas lately seems determined to remind him of it more than ever.
Far better to step out of the way of Adelheid and Buri's reunion like they'd truly been parted to watch with a smile. ]
Aww, Hilda. If you're that jealous then you know there's a way to fix that. You too could have your very own reunion in just mere moments from now!
[ For good measure, he throws an arm loosely around her shoulders while turning them both to a stall waiting for yet another occupant. ]
I wish I could say it'll get less intimidating the longer you think about it, but. Would I ever lie to you? [ Wait. Don't answer that. Moving right along - ] My real point in there is I know you can do it, especially since you created the entire aerie around us right now. That takes way more effort, if you ask me.
