Guy hadn't really been ready for Claude to change his mind at the last minute like that. Giving up his voice? It seemed like it would be a tough burden to bear, but in the end Guy could understand Claude's reasoning pretty easily. So long as he could still nod, shake his head, and gesture to them, they would hopefully be fine.
Not that they really had a chance to reconsider, since the ferryman took his toll almost right after Claude made his offer.
Guy's gaze remained on Claude for a moment. This wasn't as bad as if he had lost his sight or something, seeing how that would have had some terrible memories associated with it, but --
Then the skeleton spoke up again, and it was with a voice that most certainly didn't belong to him. "What--?" Guy's head whipped over to stare at the ferryman, his shoulders stiff. While he'd realized beforehand that the skeleton took their senses for itself, this was the first time that it had been quite so obvious, and it was bizarre.
While Guy didn't really want to hear it in Claude's voice, he still made sure to pay attention to the explanation. So it seemed like other than smell, everything else could be repeated in subsequent nights. That was something they should keep in mind, then.
When the ferryman ordered them aboard, Guy sent Claude a worrying glance before taking the lead and settling on the far end of the boat. He hoped he wouldn't have to deal with listening to the ferryman talking with Claude's voice for too much longer.
