[She doesn't move as he laughs. There are a number of things she can think of to say, from goading to dismissive. Still, she doesn't underestimate him. Claudia's too cautious to underestimate even a fool like Tsurugi. Attitudes can be deceiving, and she can't imagine he'd be so brazen without being able to back it up.]
I don't doubt it.
[Claudia smiles back at him, as if they're sharing some sort of obvious joke.]
[ She's right to not underestimate him. His entire nature is a lie. There were glimmers of it that were true, but all in all, he pretended to be as dumb and as degenerate as he was to do two things: keep people away from him and to keep their guards down. ]
A chance~? [ He sips his coffee, the warm expression never leaving his face. ]
I hope that's not the case! Diva-chan would be quite upset if I killed one of her friends.
[ Besides, Claudia would come back. It'd be a hassle, but even so, he wasn't entirely opposed. If it came down to protecting someone, he'd do it without hesitation. ]
[Having died already, Claudia most certainly doesn't wish to experience it again. The idea that she would have no control over where, when or how she ended up makes her feel uneasy.]
Well, as thrilling a conversation as this is, I think I'll be turning in for the morning. You'll hear from me when I have everything recorded, and we can set up a general schedule for the paperwork drop off.

[ He doesn't bother to say anything else -- no actual goodbye -- until he gets to the front door long enough to turn around and wink. ]
Don't have too dirty dreams about me.
