The talk with Guy hadn't exactly lessened any of Dias' concerns - if anything, it had only confirmed them as being reasonable - but knowing what he had to be concerned about was at least better than being ignorant, so overall he was still glad he'd gotten a chance to speak to the other man.

Of course, Guy wasn't the only blond swordsman he had questions for.

Claude wasn't difficult to pick out in the cafeteria, and after Dias had picked up a tray and loaded it with food, he moved over to sit down across from the blond. If Claude didn't want to talk, then too bad.

"Thomas?" he asked, a trace sardonically. He assumed Claude would figure out what he was asking.
