"Hey, this is Claude! Pretty sure I'm doing this correctly. You can leave me a message here, and I'll get to it as soon as I can. Talk to you soon~."

That doesn't count. You didn't learn botany for its own sake, you did it to craft poisons. And that's relevant without question.

[Felix smirks.] You say that as if you would let anyone see you do it. But yes, even then. It has an obviously advantageous battlefield application.

[Felix rolls his eyes.] The other day you were talking about drugging Sylvain to sleep. Using it in battle is completely different.

That's called drugging someone, Claude. [Ah, again it seems the first-name basis goes both ways now.] And I've gotten plenty far without being pedantic.

It's not my fault that's how you made it sound.

[He walks along in a silence that's unexpectedly comfortable for a few minutes.]

You must have looked into what else lives in the wild along this road. What are you planning to catch?

[Felix nods.] I want to fill out a few gaps in my team's type spread at the cave, but until then there's only the new kind of cat that lives somewhere along this road.

[Ordinarily, Felix tries not to let anyone see him doting on cats, but since Varley was already with him when he arrived, there's little hope of that now. So he figures he might as well abandon the attempt while they're here and catch every cat he can find.]

From: [personal profile] bestswordmaster
Yes, more cats. Is that a problem? They're the only animal that's tolerable. In our world, anyway.

[Inexplicably defensive as he is over this, he can't help feeling that 'they suit you' is a compliment coming from Claude, and he flushes faintly.] We have an understanding, that's all. If you see a little pink cat with a weird, puffy tail, tell me.

bestswordmaster: (blush)
From: [personal profile] bestswordmaster
Yes. It is. Quit making fun of me.

[He blinks, seeing Claude adopt this pose. It's so familiar, so classic Sylvain, that he almost does a double take.]

Do you walk like that all the time?

bestswordmaster: (postskip contemplative)
From: [personal profile] bestswordmaster
Not every time. [He shoots Claude a look that says 'I see that grin you're wearing.']

Yes, like that. You look like Sylvain. He's been doing that for years.

Then what is that infuriating grin for? And what about the other half of the time?

[Wait, other people have said Claude was similar to Sylvain? The thought makes Felix feel...something, he doesn't know what.] You're not that similar. You're the one who said I was treating superficial similarities as more substantial than they are.

[His brow furrows.] Ingrid? What did she say?

From: [personal profile] bestswordmaster
You're always aggravating. Doing it for no reason is even more annoying.

[He listens to Claude's experiences with Ingrid thoughtfully, frowning a little.] Not everyone, but Dimitri and I have endured plenty of her lectures, too. Even the other Lions weren't always immune. She's set in her ways. But she usually isn't vicious, not even with Sylvain. ...not even when I lashed out at her and said some things I shouldn't have.

bestswordmaster: (postskip concerned)
From: [personal profile] bestswordmaster
How is being aggravating supposed to be any kind of relief? Tch.

[Felix is frowning more by the time Claude finishes explaining.] That's extreme even for her. You must have struck a nerve somehow. She might be irritating, but she doesn't lecture for nothing.

Or maybe she liked you. Her expectations are... [Felix shrugs, fixing his gaze on the path ahead instead of on Claude.] She was engaged to my brother. And he was the perfect knight. If she was interested in you, maybe she was holding you to an impossible standard set by a dead man.
