[Claude sits up in bed when Felix storms in, and - oh.
The thing is, Claude's never seen Felix with his hair down. He's also never seen Felix in what amounts to sleepwear. He was not necessarily prepared to suddenly experience these two things, both at once, without warning.
It's a good thing he has such excellent self-control of both himself and his expressions. His eyes rake over Felix once - it's all he'll allow himself - before he affects his usual, easy smile, and an attitude as though he and Felix were talking on any other day.
Luckily or unluckily for Felix, Claude had actually thrown on the comfortable hoodie that came with his supplies when Felix had suggested he'd come over, or Felix would've stormed in on Claude shirtless.]
The lowliest? Even lower than the Faerghus nobles who did side with Edelgard and Cornelia? [He cocks an eyebrow.] He must treat Sylvain pretty terribly, then.
[It's not a hard conclusion to draw. What else would get Felix so worked up about Sylvain's father? And, of course, the Gautiers' treatment of their other son - and what that resulted in - had been the talk of the academy for a month or two.]
