"Right, chances are it's not open this late, anyway," says Claude, as much to himself as to Antonio. "But I'll definitely want to go there tomorrow. I've got a lot to learn about how this world works, after all."

From the sound of it, he's not going to find everything he wants to know in books, but it's a solid place to start.

"And I'm pretty good at taking care of myself, but I definitely appreciate the offer." He grins, genuinely touched by the concern. "I'm just trying to plan my next few moves in getting myself settled here, since it looks like I'm here to stay for the time being."

Which reminds him, he should probably think about looking for a place to spend the night before it gets so late it becomes early. It's just hard to tell when that'll be, exactly, with the sky all lit up by all the lights of the city - and anyway, he doesn't really want to go wandering off on Antonio before his mom comes back. He seems like a resourceful kid, and he does have his bird friends looking out for him, but even so. Claude thinks for a moment before speaking up again.

"Is there anything you'd recommend doing while I'm here? Places to visit, or things to see? I'm happy to try just about anything."
