Doing different things, traveling to new places, meeting different people... All of that shows you what the world is really like.
(And sometimes it isn't beautiful. Sometimes it's an ugly and cruel place but instead of obsessing over the darkness, Claude prefers to look out into the light and see the beauty.
He looks down at her finger, at Fodlan and smiles again,)
Different. It depends on where you are.
(He leans over and points to a place in the map. He circles the Leicester Alliance again.)
Here, it's mostly plains and mountains. The capital (He taps "Derdriu") is where I spend most of my time when I'm home. It's where all of the old lords meet and have stuffy meetings... well, they're more like angry venting sessions these days.
It's the most beautiful city in Fodlan. People call it the Aquatic Capital because it looks like it's floating on the sea. I never got to see the ocean much growing up... so being close to it all the time was a new experience for me.

(Me, checking memories to see if he still remembers Byleth and Hikaru is safe.
Claude nods in response and when she mentions Byleth? His eyes seem to light up just a little,)
More or less. I met her around here. (Further away, near a little village in the Adrestian Empire called Remire.) I was in real trouble and she saved my life.
(And he recognized how strong she was. He knew she was special. And he'd fought with Edelgard and Dimitri to bring her over to his side instead... The next thing he remembers is heading back to the academy. He frowns,)
The knights took her back with us and she started teaching there.
