Re: M44

Claude was visibly startled when someone else came into his room. It'd been a long time since he'd had any company for dinner, so this newcomer's arrival was unexpected. It didn't help that he'd been a bit preoccupied to begin with, but he collected his wits about him as best as he could.

Of course, one look at this guy was enough to shake any thoughts that had been troubling him, at least for the moment. He was definitely an imposing figure -- taller than Dias, even, and while he didn't have the striking blue hair his rival had, the wince-worthy injuries on his arm and face made up for it. No doubt he was new (this was the first Claude had seen him at all), and from the looks of it, he'd had a rough time since waking up.

Claude guessed he'd been lucky in that regard. He'd managed to get through his first couple of nights unscathed. But then he felt bad for thinking that way when he remembered the state Dias had been when he'd found his friends.

"Hi, there!" Claude replied brightly, though it was uncertain whether it was because he wanted to make a good impression on his roommate or if he was trying to counter the somewhat chilly way he'd been greeted. "Guess we're rooming together now, huh?" Now probably wasn't the best time to bring up the fact this guy was either his third or fourth roommate, so he just omitted that detail.

"I'm Claude," he added before standing up and extending his hand for a handshake. "Claude C. Kenni, but just call me Claude."
