Well, if you insist on being practical, that will happen.
[Just because Claude was trapped underground doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have asked weird and irrelevant questions - what a betrayal. Practicality. Ick. It is a shame that Claude von Riegen is a leader and therefore was likely ‘taking action’ in whatever problem he’d found himself in. A problem which Linhardt thinks might be his own fault. Hence why he does not probe - whatever Claude is getting himself into, Linhardt isn’t going to jump feet-first in after him.
At least Claude has information about the…truck. What an odd word. Truck.]
Oh, so it is a vehicle that functions like the Church’s golems: It stores power and uses it to provide motion. That would be very helpful, particularly if it is faster than horses, pegasi, and wyverns, although something like that would require a great deal of power. Do you know anything about its power storage?
[Judging from the hand motions, the answer is ‘no’. Linhardt gives Claude a disappointed look, making no move to sit back up in the water. He had initially slouched to hide himself, but the warmth of the springs is pleasant and makes him feel drowsy. Linhardt yawns. Hot springs are lovely for sleeping in.]
You are exceptionally rude.
[Linhardt rolls his eyes as Claude dangles a tidbit of information in front of him - what about the Singularity and its whims? Is that something real or is Claude making a joke? - and then proceeds to leave. How dare he. Now he is torn between napping and pondering the effects of the Singularity.
Which is likely what Claude expects.
The healer lets out a gigantic yawn and closes his eyes as the other man climbs out of the hot springs, making a dismissive gesture with his hand. Yes, leave so he can sleep. As he’d intended to do before he had been interrupted.]
I will contact you if I require assistance or information.
[Linhardt pauses and cracks open a single blue eye to watch Claude.]
Thank you for the warning.
[He does not trust Claude completely, but that does not mean that Linhardt isn’t aware that Claude didn’t need to tell him things. Or be helpful. Particularly as Linhardt is located in Thorne and not the Free Cities.

That is all information for another time.
Now. Now is time for sleep.]
