Not whatever I think it is, huh? And what do you suppose I'm thinking of?

[ASHE you're not supposed to corner him like this!? What is he supposed to say to that??

Books! Right! HAH]

Probably something chivalrous and knightly out of some fairytale. I promise you it's just a form of collateral.

[shootyourshot]

Huh. That's a pretty cruel way to describe someone. Does Bernadetta know that?

[bottomless_bowl]

I meant the earring not-

[Ah but he can't meet Ashe's eyes and say her name at the same time.]

Not Bernadetta.

[shootyourshot]

Hmm, interesting.

[His arms are folded now and he's VERY curious.]

So collateral for what?

[bottomless_bowl]

Information. And if you want that information you need to give me something just as important to you for collateral.

[He's bluffing so goddamn hard but no matter what Ashe offers it's not going to be enough so it doesn't matter.... right?]

[shootyourshot]

[Information? What could Bernadetta possibly provide to Claude? Then again, he doesn't know, and... sadly, he does not have anything to offer him anyway. Ashe isn't sure he believes him completely, but he does shrug helplessly.]

I don't have much, even if I wanted to offer you something. Okay, I won't press on it.

[FOR NOW]

You come up with something good and maybe someday I'll tell you~

[He's just going to sip his coffee and walk away because goddamn that was too close.]
