[ That somehow is yet another unexpected question, and it's one more loaded than Kyle realizes. Or perhaps he does, given that Claude has the sense all of the Summoned are hiding things about themselves. As they should; despite the bonds they're forging between themselves and somewhat against odds, there's no guarantee information won't end up where it shouldn't.

Which is something he weighs within a deliberate pause as he studies Kyle, thinking less about what Abraxan officials might do with that knowledge and more of what his friends might. ]

Fodlan has a long history of being closed off from the other countries around it. A goal I've always had in mind from long before anything else was tearing down the walls keeping those from Fodlan in and the rest of the world outside of them. The aftermath of the war is the time to do just that.

[ When Claude thinks about it later, the fact that he immediately feels actual guilt over what he can admit is a deeply ambiguous answer is a glaringly bright sign he's come to trust Kyle to a level that it overrides his normal method of being outright deceptive when there's something he doesn't wish to reveal. For now, he sighs slightly since there's no fun way to go about this next part, but: ]
