[ blinks ]

Yeah, of course. Was she there too? Where you were with the younger me?

[cuedoves]

.... Yeah.

[ so it is the same claude after all... he seems like he's debating saying something, but then decides against it. ]

She's really strong.

[shaft]

[ ... that makes him laugh ]

She is, I don't even know why she bothers with the helpless act anymore. [ Oh. ] Oh, but wait. You met her as a teenager still?

[cuedoves]

Probably to get everyone to do things for her.

[ but he sounds fond, and.... heterosexual. ]

Yeah. So... you know her when she's older, I guess.

[ that makes sense. ]

[shaft]

[ He is Noticing. ]

Yeah, she's the same age as me where I'm from. Though she'd probably smack if you called her old.

[cuedoves]

I know better than to insult Hilda.

[ he seems a little heartened by the idea of future hilda existing ]

[shaft]

But you have no qualms insulting me?

[cuedoves]

You're not my girlfriend.

And you're not scary, either.

[ he sounds proud when he says that ]

[shaft]

So you two were dating? [ He looks so interested... Gossip!! ] Wow, I never thought Hilda could tolerate a guy for that long.

[cuedoves]

Guess she just had to meet the right guy.

[ shut the fuck up zuko ]

[shaft]

[ snorts, but he doesn't disagree. ]

Well, I'm glad that even if it was a terrible situation, that she had someone she could rely on.

[cuedoves]

[ oh now he looks embarrassed..... ]

[ spoon why are you using shirtless icons on me again ]

Anyway. If Hilda trusts you, I guess you can't be all that bad.

[shaft]

[ just focus on the expression ]

I'm grateful for the stunning review of my character. [ amused ] But I could say the same. If Hilda trusts you, then I'll endeavour to do the same.

[cuedoves]

Don't get me wrong, you're still annoying. [ how can i focus on the expression when his nipples are right there ]

[ anyway, zuko's expression clouds over, briefly.... ]

...

Did you find out anything about the hotel?

[shaft]

[ HE'S SO RUDE

But Claude does not dwell on it because Zuko is a baby. ]

Not much at all, but I suspect things will start acting up and give us something to work with.

Hopefully nothing deadly.

[cuedoves]

[ i love how zuko gets away with this and dimitri doesn't ]

Yeah, I wouldn't hope for that.

[ it's always going to be deadly.... ]

We probably aren't going to find anything right away, anyway. I just... wanted to be sure.

[ he's worried. ]

[shaft]

You're right to look. We don't want to miss something just because we assumed there would be nothing to find.

[cuedoves]

[ stop don't praise him clod he'll get embarrassed!! ]

Right. Or maybe there's a clue that we'll overlook.

[shaft]

[ claude, overlooking flayn's teeth during body check in one week: ]

Yeah, the smallest detail can sometimes be the biggest clue.

It is kind of a pain though.

[cuedoves]

[ he found it though!!! your did it spoon!! ]

It's a huge pain. Don't undersell it.
