(He considers it, drawing out the silence and the wait a little longer than he really needs to. He just wants to see how she reacts. You can learn a lot about someone when they're put unde pressure or desperate...
And he turns heel and beckons for her to follow him towards the inn, up the staircase to his room. He doesn't open the door right away, keeping PHS hovering just out of range,)
I won't ask. (When she puts it that way, it's kind of hard to argue without making yourself look like a jerk,) And for me, that's a pretty big thing.
[She won't act particularly jittery, though she does bring her hands up to her chest, watching him expectantly. Almost like she thinks he will say yes out of goodness of his heart and nothing else. When he beckons for her to follow, she lets out a breath and smiles, going after him.]
That's alright. [She bows from the waist, politely.] Thank you so much, Claude-san! I promise I'll make it up to you.
[She absolutely does not expect him to cash it in for something shady. Oh, sweet, summer child.]
(SWEET SUMMER CHILD INDEED... It's always cute when a schemer like him meets someone who seems to earnest, though. It's kind of endearing, really.)
I expect it. (H a h) This is our secret.
(Another one to add to his pile and he lowers his PHS, letting the door unlock and steps aside for her.)
That one.
(He'll point to the one that is Kano's!! Just to make sure she doesn't go snooping into his own space. And he'll just hang out over by the door and watch her look for... whatever.)

[It's fine. She will glance in the direction she's pointed to, and nod.]
Please, excuse me.
[Off she goes! Whatever it is she's looking for, it doesn't seem like she has to look around for very long. One glance as Kano's pod is all it takes before she's carefully scooting inside with both of her knees on the mattress, and leaning in to pluck something up. She slings her bag forward to shove it inside, and then closes it back up.
Moving out of the pod, she turns around to face Claude once more.]
I got it! Thank you, again.
[And she will vamoose unless he wants to say anything else to her.]

... It's not for me. He asked me to deliver something to Benedetto-san, as a favor.
[Since. He can't do it himself.]

(Interesting.)
It depends. What is it? Given the circumstances, you understand I can't just let things come and go easily.
no subject
[Everyone is suspicious now, regardless of whether she likes it or not.]
However, Kano-san requested some privacy. Um... I don't want to disregard his wishes after what we did to him.

(It's true!!)

But he'll let her go! No questions asked because it's time to move on with threads but he's gonna remember this, Sumi!!)
