[ Nobody knows who I am here gets a smile from him, considering: that's a sentiment he can relate to all too well. It'd been a welcome one when he'd arrived and discovered he was the only one from Fodlan here, then one where his feelings had changed on it slightly when that part about being the only one really sank in, and shifted yet again when others arrived. It's not something he regrets though, or rather it's something he's come to appreciate.
There's still much to be said for all of them arriving here without all the tangled mess of Fodlan attached to it. Nothing will change that part of things no matter who's here or isn't. ]
Yeah, mandatory. The first one was when this place, [ with a gesture meant to encompass all of Oleuni Square around them, ] opened since no Summoned had been to Nocwich before. I don't know that the Abraxan natives had either, but that trip was... eventful by the end. The results of that were what caused Thorne's queen to bomb Libertas, and needless to say things were tense for a while after and the Free Cities retaliated. Luna offered to host a mediation where we were all required to attend, and then more recently the Feywilds invited the Summoned only to visit.
[ There's more to it than that, but Claude opts for the quick overview since - there's probably a limit to how much Linhardt wants to know all at once. And besides that, as discussed it won't hurt to have some other perspectives in there on those very events.
But the explanation of Monica makes sense; there's times that he forgets about there being a chance for the others to know each other from the year prior. It also brings forth the vague memory of Hilda commenting about Monica back after the rescue, though the revelation of Monica being Kronya has since overridden most everything else. There's a slow nod from him at the confirmation that much remains the same between their timelines. Claude doesn't even know if that's reassuring or not.
At the same time, that was so long ago and with Those Who Slither In The Dark all but eliminated he decides it doesn't matter. Not nearly as much as pressing a hand to his chest in mock outrage a second later like Linhardt's said something truly worrisome and when that smirk makes it all too easy to fall into an older and more familiar routine for him than explaining yet another continent with three nations' many faults to someone. ]
Not the red ink! Who are you, Teach? I don't think my ego can recover from seeing so many corrections all at once. At least take mercy on me and space them out a little bit.
