Honestly...it's a little tough to say. [Claude rubs his chin thoughtfully.] You're a lot like me, in that I think if I say what it's safe to say without saying more than Geralt would likely want me to, it'd probably make you curious and go poking around the matter...which would kind of negate any discretion I'm trying to show. And I really am trying to get Geralt to like me, despite everything, so I don't want him to feel like I've ratted him out...
So what is it safe to say? I suppose it'd be easiest to sum up as the antics of a mischievous pokémon forcing Geralt to share something with me he wouldn't have if he'd had a choice in the matter. It wasn't anything directly related to you. We wound up talking about you through that, but that had absolutely nothing to do with anything you've ever told me in confidence. I did make it inescapably clear how much I know you think of him in a general sense, but you've never been shy about that yourself, so I wasn't telling him anything he didn't know - just things he's somehow still in denial about. But that's nothing you don't know.
Oh - he did tell me he doesn't have emotions, and I told him I didn't believe that at all. His personality isn't that much unlike that of a guy I know who's as human as anyone else; I really don't know how anyone sold him on that idea.
