Of course, Camilla. I won't hesitate to let you know when to toss him into the pond again.
[because we both know it's gonna happen.]
I do hope he'll be less of a pain once I've stressed just how important this is... But my hopes aren't all that high. I imagine he'll continue to vex me at every turn.
It's quite likely. Claude is a rather stubborn individual when push comes to shove, and an utterly cagey one at that...but I do fear that I do not know as much about him as you do. I have, for the most part, preferred to keep my distance...
You may yet know the best way to get him to listen to you.
I don't blame you. He is an insufferably difficult person to pin down. It is only because I have spent so much time with him that I have any idea of how to handle his antics. [huff!!] I will endeavor to get him to listen, though I'm not sure how successful I'll be. Claude is not an idiot, so I'm sure he will listen to reason at some point.

I know you shall do so well, my lord. If there is anything I can do to assist in easing any burdens brought on by this, do let me know.
[She'll gladly throw him in the nearest lake!!
but god yeah, no, you're not fooling anyone lorenz. you like him, admit it]
Hmhm...but hopefully, his progress shall please you, once you start setting him on the right path.

And I'm sure you'll handle them with grace, Lord Lorenz.

If worse comes to worst and he doesn't listen to actual reason, there is always reason magic...

I won't lie, I have considered it before... But that would be a bit difficult to deal with, even if it would absolutely be worth it at the time.
no subject
It certainly would...which is a shame, because I'm sure someone like him would listen readily to such a thing.
[have you seen that boy's res state, one mage gets in his vicinity and rip]
But I'm sure you'll be able to reason with him. [...] Who knows? Perhaps even the impossible can happen, and you two could be...cordial.
[Annnnd she's hiding her expression again, closing her eyes like she's innocent. But it's slightly teasing. Slightly.]
no subject
Perhaps. I wouldn't get your hopes up, though.
[HMPH.]
I suppose we'll just have to see where things go from here. There's no telling what the rest of the year may bring.
no subject
Worry not, I do know better, my lord...
[she's got you read for filth, boy]
Well, at any rate, I do hope it's a touch less dramatic. I'd much rather avoid the absolute travesty of the first few months of our time here...
no subject
Oh, agreed. We've been through quite a lot, haven't we...? I can only hope things will calm down for the duration of our stay!
