Claude lets himself lean against Lorenz's shoulder as the other man draws him close, largely content. (The only things marring that contentment - not knowing how they ended up in this place, missing the nice home Dimitri made for all of them, worrying about his pokémon - have nothing whatsoever to do with Lorenz, and this moment right here. And Claude knows how to set his worries aside to be able to enjoy himself.) He sneaks an arm around Lorenz's waist in return, wondering if he might catch on fire...or if he's started to adjust to Claude's returning his affections enough to not have quite so severe a reaction.
Maybe Lorenz has a few allergies of his own, come to think of it.
"It does remind me of home," he agrees with a smile. "Not even just Derdriu, necessarily, but...our world in general. Like you said...the sky's so clear. As nice as the present day in this world is, all those bright lights...they block out a lot of the stars. It's nice to have them so visible again."
Oh - but then Lorenz is holding a berry up to his mouth, and Claude has to decide on the fly how scandalous he should be. In the end, it's not even really much of a choice; there's not a lot of options for how to take the berry in his mouth. It's mostly just between using his teeth to try to avoid contact with Lorenz's fingers, or using his lips and not even making the attempt. He goes for the latter, and throws in a bit of a smoldering look as he does it, gratis.
