[The plush, of course, maintains its enigmatic silence no matter how long Byleth gazes at it, so Claude offers a response instead.]
I think he would tell you that my new fave is coffee cake. Have you tried it? Coffee was a rare luxury in Fódlan, but I promise it's good.
[He's glad to see Byleth relax again and act more like his usual, slightly (if unintentionally) silly self. It's the best way to feel better any more than any serious discussion could accomplish, in Claude's opinion.]
[Getting the response he wanted - and easing the conversation entirely from tumultuous waters - Byleth gathered Clauddles back up and set the deer plushie on his lap, its little hooves resting against the edge of the table to balance it upright.]
I haven't. In fact... I haven't tried coffee at all. Those I've spoken to said it's very bitter, though.
[Not that Byleth minded bitter foods, but when given the choice of something sweet or something bitter, he would veer towards the sweet every time - and there were many sweet cakes left unsampled on this cafe's menu.]
But if it's your favourite cake, then I'll try it. Let's order some and share it.
