I'd say let's not go so far as trusting this Quilleth, but it won't be a bad idea to have her ear.
[ Jaskier is one of the most well-known Summoned and has already been in contact with her, so that's certainly a good place to start. Steve knows for a fact that Jaskier wants to make some sort of difference here, the same way that Claude does, so he doesn't think either of them would balk at the idea of sticking their necks out if it came down to it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have one of the Cities' leaders on their side, if that's possible.
The more that Claude talks, the more that Steve gets the sense that he has a lot of political experience — more than Steve himself does, that's for sure. Hilda made it sound like he was in fact the leader of their Alliance, which means that despite his young age, it'd be a good idea to listen to him.
Not that Steve's ever been the sort to brush people off because of their appearance.
And, well, it's not like Claude is wrong to worry about the well-being of the Summoned. Steve is thrown off when he drops in something about questioning, though. ]
They did what? [ Some alarm enters his tone and his arms drop quickly to his sides. Obviously Claude is fine. It's not the best sign, though. ] I'm kind of surprised they didn't grab me, if that's the case. What were they questioning you about?
