Claude. [ Said with all the patience he can possibly muster. ] You can’t even keep your own books in order.
[ He should know. He walked past your room earlier and the door was open. Honestly, he despairs for the state of the Alliance in comparison. Then again, maybe Lorenz ends up his secretary. Or Ignatz? He’s good with paperwork, right?
Hell, they should just put Lysithea in charge of everyone and she’d have everyone terrified and working their asses off in no time. Although Hilda had that kind of luck, too, making everyone do her work for her. But she’d probably consider that too much work, so that wouldn’t be sustainable in the least.
Not voicing any of that - because he can just imagine Claude’s response to any of it and that’s not an argument they need to have tonight (or ever) - he just leans back in his chair to continue nursing the last little bit of his drink as he watches the other man. ]
I don’t need to plan ahead. I have plenty to work on as it is. And you haven’t even tried what’s on the sideboard yet. For all you know, it could be terrible.
