3ratmoonExplain / just leaving / knock louder
Your face twists up as you look at Lorenz’s slightly rumpled but clearly smoothed hair. What a prissy brat. But, you had fought with him during the war, and he was a reliable fighter. It would probably be a good idea if you at least tried to be courteous.
“I need to talk to Claude,” you explain.
But Lorenz's eyes only narrow further. “And why is that, pray tell?” he asks. “You're a Blue Lion, not a Golden Deer.” He gasps suddenly, a hand flying to his mouth. “Why, are you here for a, a tryst?”
You knock on the door, louder.
Lorenz glares, wincing. “You did that on purpose!”
“Maybe I did!” you snap before reeling yourself in. You're still not completely under control after the near-meltdown from earlier (later?), and you need a breather. “Whatever. I was just leaving. He's obviously not here.”
“Who's obviously not here?”
You look ahead to see Claude leaning in the doorway of his room, smirking. The little shit.
“Claude,” you say. “I need to talk to you.”
“What you should be doing is talking to the leader of the Blue Lions about his classmate's behaviour!” Lorenz pipes up.
Claude glances at Lorenz, grinning, before turning back to Felix. “Sure, come on in. We'll let Lord Gloucester get his beauty sleep.”
You can hear Claude snickering under Lorenz’s outraged sputtering as he leads you into his room and closes the door.
His space is already a mess, his bed filled with at least a dozen books. It's not even been a full day yet. You're almost impressed.
“So,” Claude starts, lacing his fingers behind his head. “What do you need?”
Your back straightens. Right. You came to Claude for a reason, which is:
A. Tell Claude everything. You can't trust the Boar with this information, but you can trust Claude.
B. Ease Claude in slowly. Start with a hypothetical.
C. Panic. This is fucked up, this is all so fucked up. What are you doing? What is happening?
What do you do?
