[ Those small things that end up being a great source of comfort after arriving here by surprise: Claude can certainly relate to that. Though he'd left the barracks at his first possible chance, there's something to be said in the steadiness of being here in a stable environment with lots of routine.
He does finally take that bite of food and chews it thoughtfully as she asks her questions. Good ones, he notes; they aren't unlike the ones he'd had upon finding out more details from talking to other Summoned. That's certainly promising in more ways than one. Claude takes another bite and thinks through the best ways to answer those - keeping in mind that there's still guards stationed around. ]
It's a mystery as far as I know, mostly because why the Free Cities want us here is also mostly an unknown.
[ His voice is pointedly lower now - the guards closest to them are still a good distance away, but he wouldn't be surprised if they've been told to overhear what they can. It's what he'd instruct his troops to do. It'd be a smart move. Luckily for them, there's enough chatter from other conversations going on to where they won't stand out as the only ones talking. ]
There's been a lot of talk of a war between the Free Cities and Thorne based on some rough history between them. Solvunn seems to just neutral for now, but I'm sure they're watching everything closely. As for letters... well. I wouldn't trust those to not be opened in transit.
The way that we're able to communicate thanks to the Singularity - [ he'll get to that in a minute if no one else has - ] is different. That's the network part, and you can send a message to everyone or just one person. It seems that sending it to everyone is the default so you'll want to concentrate on whoever it is if you want it to go to just them. I can demonstrate it if you'd like, but I should warn you the first time you get a message that way it's kinda disorienting.
