[ That's unexpected? But Claude brightens, genuinely warmed by the offer. ]

That doesn't sound bad. As long as it isn't all deadly fights with uncertain fates. [ Not that he minds that a little bit of the time. ] I'll have to ask Manwol though.

[disreguarded]

[snorts.]

Like, for permission? [this is half teasing]

[shaft]

A little bit.

[ He's joking himself. ]

But we'll be travelling together... Wherever it is we go.

[disreguarded]

[gay]

Well, you know we wouldn't say no to Manwol coming along too.

[shaft]

Thanks. [ He means it genuinely, gently nudging her shoulder. ] What about Otome?

[disreguarded]

[a little hum.]

... Don't know. She's got stuff she has to do back home, but. We talked about her coming to my world, briefly.

[shaft]

You're just going to collect all of us back in your world, hm?

That wouldn't be so bad though... This place has been a nightmare, but the people we've met have been worth it.

[she makes a face at him.]

I just want people to have a steady world to live in. [a beat.] I didn't want you to be dead.

You're right though. I have people I really care about, here.

[shaft]

Thanks. [ He lightly bumps his fist against her shoulder. ] It's kind of weird having people worry about me.

But it's nice.
