[Claude had decided to take in the atmosphere in Springstar and get a gauge for the mood after the Oracle win, and it was almost startling how many people were willing to chat to him as a Shardbearer. He's waving goodbye to a lizard-like woman and sipping the drink she'd bought him when Shez addresses him, only half-listening to the conversation Shez is referring to.]

Hm? [He looks at Shez, no recognition in his expression whatsoever, but he'll lower his voice in return.] Yeah, that's one interpretation. I'm sure Cyrus has been dealing with attempts on his life since he became Tribune, so I can't say I'm shocked.

[If he sounds nonchalant about it... Well. He's more than familiar with it being an occupational risk back home.]
