(Luckily, it might be her magical strength that saves her in Almyra. Almyra isn't known for their mages or sorcerers. Archery, swordsmanship, axes, horsemen, and wyvern riders. Those have always been Almyra's strengths and while they had their own forms of magic, Claude is confident that she'll be able to prove herself with her own magic mastery.)
Like I said, don't worry about it. (He speaks lightly,) It takes a lot of strength to leave everything behind. Not many could do something like that. (Even if Flayn didn't have a choice. He won't mention that though. He doesn't need to. Instead, he chooses to reframe the situation somewhat,) You've already got them beat there.
(As for her question? Well, he'd opened himself up to them so its not like he can't answer. Or rather, he could but what's the point this late in the game? The secret's out the bag more or less. There isn't much left to hide.)
... Not always. (He'd run away from home with little chance of returning at first. It hadn't taken him long to realize Fodlan wasn't for him. He could never stay in the Fodlan forever; at least, not in this current version of Fodlan.) There were times when I thought about staying.
(When he looked out at Derdriu from his window, when he saw how beautiful it looked on the sea with all of its people living so wonderfully. He'd truly come to love Fodlan in his time and he was proud of Leicester. It was times like that when he felt like he would never leave.)
But the way Fodlan is now... or rather, the way it's always been... It's no place for someone like me. No where is, to be fair.
(Even if his tone is light and airy, there's a wistfulness to it all,)
I can't say I agree with her approach but Edelgard's dream... is not far removed from my own. Because of her, I had to give up my dream in Fodlan. (He had to put his trust in her to do what he couldn't.) If I want my dream to come true, I'm needed on the other side.
(Here. In Almyra.
This also... probably suggests he's more important than one might have originally thought.
Among those that had fought in Leicester alongside the Almyran troops, there had been two prevailing rumors: Claude was either related to an important general (Nader himself?) or he had some connections to the royal family. No one really knew for sure-- only observations between Claude and Nader which seemed close. No one understood Almyran and the foreign army had spoken mostly in their own language but a few had managed to make comments in Fodlan's tongue. Something about how they were here "because of the king" but no one was completely sure if that meant the king had sent or summoned them and any attempts to get clarification became muddled in translation.)
