[Because given his manner, the centaur doesn't seem to be in much of a rush for anything. His expression tips into bemusement at most, eyes lifting up and trailing the treetops]
My place is not here, and so I have no desire to stay for long.
... But I can't deny my curiosity, either. I would prefer to remain until certain questions have been answered.
(And Chiron's answer is no exception! He feels like he can gauge a little more information about his new anonymous friend. He's a calm and patient person, able to roll with the circumstances and Claude's personality. He's also thoughtful, Claude notes, focused but willing to stick around for something like curiosity...)
I admire your thirst for knowledge. If I didn't have pressing matters of my own, I would feel the same. (He won't deny that he isn't also curious! Because he is! But there are things he needs to do and all he can do is sigh dramatically and make a huge show of how hard his life is right now,) Duty trumps curiosity this time around.
(L a m e. Could he elaborate some? Absolutely. Will he though? No because he's going to quickly move on with the conversation,)
Anyway, I've got to come up with another scheme to get out of this place. Thanks for the arrows... even if I couldn't keep them.
[Even if he hadn't moved the conversation along, Chiron has no interest in asking questions that will likely not grant him answers, and he's made his own opinions about the type of person Claude is.
For this reason his head tilts in assessment, but afterwards there is a nod. He will not offer any arrows given what the conditions were -- and Chiron keeps his word -- but still:]
Come back if you'd like to try again, or even pointers. I did not lie before; you could likely do it in a couple of weeks with proper training.
Huh, you're a real teach, aren't ya? (Color him amused.) Alright, if we're still around, you'll see me.
You owe me some answers anyway.
(He won't let him forget it, either!! And with that, Claude is just going to take his bow and head off. He's had his work out for the day. Time for some leisure,)
