"I mean, it certainly complicates what I'm doing, but you're over-estimating how much of my jumping between Arbiter and Blitz is actually me. Most of the work of catching me is done by them, and they weren't any more distracted by my having a bow in hand than they'd ever been doing those maneuvers before." Claude shrugs. "Anyway, I've done a lot of practice with them - it was the next best thing to being able to practice archery up until now - and I trust them completely. They'd never have let me fall to begin with."

He cocks an eyebrow at Felix. "That said, while I'm taking absolutely every precaution not to fall, and I'm confident I won't...it's not like we can die here anyway. You do know that, right?" It...occurs to Claude that he doesn't know if Felix knows that. "The risk is less than you're making it out to be. I might as well worry about you accidentally taking a lethal blow to the head during your sparring sessions."
