[ Claude considers that for a long moment in which he says nothing, stays silent, and lets Altaïr do what he wishes with the bow while he considers. It takes a bit of time to come to an answer as he loops the different bits of information he's gleaned through his mind in comparison to Fodlan. ]

Control is exactly what the Church of Seiros wanted and what they had for centuries. They were involved in so much around Fodlan from start to finish, and used the knights as a holy order supposedly to mediate situations but what it ended up being was a way to enforce their beliefs and those alone under the guise of guidance. If there were challenges to the mass amount of authority they had before the Empire started the war to overthrow them, they were stamped out quickly before they truly started.

[ And, rather dryly, ] we do have much in common after all.

[Mostly he fiddles with it, testing the tension of the string and such. Nothing's changed since his last shot, but speaking of the Templars takes away some of the enjoyment of testing himself.]

So it seems. I'm glad the Church you know and the Templars never had the opportunity to meet. It seems likely they'd only encourage the worst tendencies of one another.

[Or go to war again for control of the Apple of Eden — but it's best not to think about that.]

It's fortunate that they can't somehow meet each other through us somehow what with all these worlds intersecting. And doubly fortunate we can't run into the same situations here.

[ Or - that's not an accurate statement, is it? There's not a formally organized religion here like it sounds is present in both Altaïr's home and Fodlan. Almyra is the closest comparison with a variety of gods though there's still differences. But there is the Singularity, ominous rock formation that it is which apparently holds the key to so many things, and the nations' differing opinions on how it should be treated. All of them at odds with each other and none of them inclined to back down, but with the advantage that no one can approach the Singularity. Except the Summoned, which is no advantage for them at all.

Either way, that's not something Claude wants to dwell on. It'd require the Summoned to be all in one place for something to be done involving them and even with those excursions to Nocwich it seems unlikely. Better to reach over for the bow to show Altaïr a better way to change the string tension and to shoot some more arrows into their cactus friend. ]
