[Claude chuckles.] You seem to pay a decent amount of attention to politics when it's directly relevant to you or the people you know, huh?

[He shrugs and smiles at Felix's (admittedly casual) accusation.] Honestly, my secrets...they don't have a whole lot of purpose here. In fact, after Derdriu, I kind of shook off any need to keep the old ones anymore...and it's a bit tiring to have to go back to keeping them again now. [He sighs.] But it's like I said when we were discussing Dimitri - I don't know what might happen if I give away things now that you all didn't know then. So maybe it's better to just stay mysterious.

But hearing that Sylvain wants to make peace with Sreng...that's wonderful. Admirable, even. As you said, Fodlan's foreign relations are pretty awful, so hearing that the next generation of nobles in Faerghus are looking to alleviate that somewhat is hopeful.
