Claude seems to be taking it all in stride, despite his odd behavior before... (Unless... Huh, was that a preemptive attempt to try and fulfill the objective of this car?) Sylvain thinks he glimpses the thread of reasoning behind his actions, now. And if that's really the case, he's impressed he'd thought that far ahead; guess he isn't called a "schemer" for nothing... ]
Right. Teamwork...
[ Sylvain's historically better at burning bridges than he is at repairing them, and he was pretty sure he'd disastrously fumbled any potential of making friends with Claude. But things don't seem to be nearly as dire as he'd assumed them to be, and it helps ease the tension from his posture a little. This is a lot more like the Claude he'd first met, looking for korogus and getting chased around by bees... Completely unflappable, easy as a breeze. (Then what was all that before...?)
He gives a (slightly distracted) hum of affirmative when his partner mentions the cauldron. ]
I dunno if I'd call anything 'simple' around here. There's no telling what else might be in the dark.
[ He frowns at the torch, which is hardly doing a better job than their phones were, ] Can't this thing get any brighter?
