[ It's not lost on Claude that Dimitri is crowned in what Thancred's saying, something he'd not sure ever came to pass before the nightmare that was Gronder and where Faerghus and its prince fell after the shock of finding out said prince was alive in the first place.
That the Alliance wasn't mentioned - well. That could mean any number of things, but all he can think about is Petra's arrival where she'd been puzzled as to whether Abraxas was where he was going after leaving Derdriu and how he'd been confused as to what she meant about leaving in the middle of the war. Maybe this narrows down where Edelgard and Byleth came from as much as anything else could without being able to ask them for himself. ]
Edelgard was... is rebuilding Fodlan. Hopefully that means she attained her dreams.
[ There's a smile he casts down to his mug but it's on the wan side and every bit as grim as Thancred's earlier look for what he knows happened in his time. A call back and forth over the clash of weapons when it became clear Edelgard wouldn't back down. Don't worry. I'll finish the job for you.
With an inaudible sigh Claude looks up again after running a hand over his beard. ]
If it helps any, I don't think you could possibly make it worse. [ Now there's a grin since that's an understatement, but that's nothing Thancred should feel responsible for in any way. ] There's more differences than just these. I might be from after the war in my time but everyone else here from Fodlan is still well within it, assuming that the time doesn't shift with everyone else that has from what I know. If it does, I suppose that also means there's always the possibility they'll come back.
However, [ with an appraising glance in the other's direction as he picks up his ale to take another sip after putting an unspoken question into his words, ] you don't seem all that surprised by the idea of someone being from different timelines.
