[ There's plenty Claude could say about regrets and what they mean for what they were while standing in the midst of a battlefield to seeing those faces here again in what should be an impossibility. Or there's things he could ask Wanda about hers, or decisions, or how they've each paid a price. It's tempting. They've yet again found a common ground to layer in with all the others.
But - given the chance, there are times Claude's willing to sweep things under the metaphorical rug to let them be until another day rather than continue prying into what he wants to know. And so, he will absolutely feign offense to that last part as he sits back in his chair with a palm pressed to his chest and eyes wide like Wanda's said something horrifying rather than, say, the exact truth. ]
I haven't the slightest idea what you mean. I made all of these appear here with my very own hands and I'm absolutely hurt you think otherwise.
[ 'Appear' rather than 'made' is absolutely the loophole he's going with as if he doesn't know exactly what she's saying is the truth. It's terrible, and Claude knows it, but that won't stop him from continuing with his faux innocent act in hopes of entertaining her as he pushes the box of pastries towards her to encourage her to have another one. After all, they've still got the rest of the meal she's (actually) made for them to finish. ]
