He isn't wrong. It will be a while - even with the war over, it will take quite some time before Edelgard and Byleth have everything settled enough at home to even begin thinking about diplomatic relations with Almyra. If she knows this, then Claude certainly does, which means he won't suggest it too soon.
But even if they were to have Fódlan settled more quickly than that, even if Claude was to reach out to them, it would certainly take much longer than that to convince Edelgard not to have her killed the same way as Rhea.
(Especially with Those Who Slither in the Dark being a persistent presence, there - but Flayn doesn't know much about that just yet. That's a problem to discover and deal with in the future.)
She doesn't quite catch the look on his face before he turns his attention back to her, and then when he does, she's more focused on getting the pronunciation of the words that he's teaching her just right. She mumbles it under her breath, first, and thinks that she'll be able to practice it a little more before she really has to use it -
But then there's a servant appearing to bring them food and refill their tea, and well, there's no time like the present, is there?
She tries to catch the servant's eye, smiles, and speaks:]
Thank you.
[...it's in Almyran, and her accent is distinctly Fódlan, but hopefully it won't sound too strange?
She isn't quite able to stop herself from glancing at Claude out of the corner of her eye to gauge if she's done that well or not.]
