[ The advent of leading Sylvain around in circles has officially started. Well - more like started again, and started for the umpteenth time. Claude's just going to ignore that his comment more or less meant that especially in light of slander being tossed his way. A scoff leaves him like his pride's seriously wounded over the denial of changing houses a whole almost decade too late. There's a snappy comeback on the tip of his tongue, but. He thinks better of it a millisecond later, and instead leans an elbow on the edge of the bar and his chin in that hand. It might almost be in feigned disappointment if Claude wasn't also using it as a chance to survey Sylvain for a second.
All the better to follow that up by leaning over, just slightly, to regard the other man from beneath his lashes with a smirk of his own. ]
No? Sounds like you're not looking closely enough.
[ That's barely getting started since before he can, the bartender sets Sylvain's drink down and he sits back just in time for the ongoing argument nearby to escalate as one of them breaks out into tears. ]
Well, at least we're going to have a better night than them.
