I think I'm rather good at them, really, especially since if I did have plans to poison you that counts as a surprise.

[ Technically counts as a surprise, which is close enough in Claude's mind. Especially as he moves ever so slightly again to place a hand on the back of Sylvain's neck while leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek, affection not yet spent enough for the moment. ]

I'll surrender my title of being good at surprises to you for now since I think you've more than earned it with all of this.
