[Dimitri definitely is terrible at hiding his emotions. There was, of course, that period of time after Duscur when he became quite good at hiding his fury and his pain, but doing so seemed to dull all his other feelings, too, making the world just a little grayer than it used to be. But it all exploded in his face spectacularly, and he's done with trying to sweep any unpleasant emotions under a rug. That's not really living, and no matter how much misplaced guilt he feels for being the one to survive, Dimitri is still alive.
So he chooses to be more honest with himself now, as unsightly as that may sometimes be. It makes it pathetically easy for a man like Claude to read him, inconvenient when he'd rather hide this particular revelation. At least Claude is a good enough actor for Dimitri to not realize his thoughts have been found out. Claude doesn't seem entirely comfortable, but who could be when they're at risk of having their memories put on display for all to see?
Dimitri lets out a small chuckle in response to Claude's dramatics (and his dodging of that firefly, truth be told). With a nod, he takes a step back.]
I think that would be wise. Good day, Claude. And... thank you.
