Would Guy's friends really like him? Claude hoped so. Granted, he felt like he'd already met most of them in the institute, and they'd gotten along really well during those times. But the circumstances here were different, since people had to bind together during tough times like these.

Of course, Guy knew them all much better than Claude did. He'd have to trust that his friend knew what he was talking about.

Returning the smile, he took a sip of his juice. "Thanks. And I hope -- no, I'm sure it'll be soon too. We just have a little further to go, right?"
