[ Kyle asks something he feels coming instinctively, had the suspicion it was when he'd looked down to think something over, but the way it's asked rings a bell somewhere in the corner of Claude's mind. One he'll have to address in a moment since, despite himself, that Kyle's nailed down both specific problems he's having when it comes to time gets a short and rather dry laugh out of him. ]
It's not actually funny, but it kind of is because the answer to that is yes. [ Claude takes a second to grin before absently rubbing a hand along his jaw in thought and as if to scrub said wry amusement away. ] In the simplest way to go about explaining whatever this is, it's yes because at least one of my friends doesn't know what I do and there's things none of them do. And at the same time, it's yes because at least one of them told me of some things which happened for them that have no way of being possible for me.
[ I don't know how to reconcile that is something he's about to add. As if the other man might know some way to make it all fit, might somehow have a lens he can peer at everything through that'll give him an answer - but then he realizes what felt so recognizable about what was asked. Why it was said that way, maybe, and what it could mean. ]
You're the first person who's asked what you did rather than asking me what I meant. Even everyone else from Fodlan still had other questions besides that one.
[ He'll go for the indirect route for querying about whether this is something they have in common, even if Claude's also realizing he can't remember if Kyle's mentioned anyone else from his home here. ]
