[i]'Old people shouldn't be that positive,'[/i] Claude mentally remarked, cringing a bit at the words that practically reeked of vibrancy, [i]'especially not this early in the morning'[/i] Although, given his only prior experience with an elderly person usually involved getting information drilled into his head.

"Very well," he mumbled, getting out of the seat and heading on over to the others, back straight, chin held high all prim and proper-like. "Hello everybody," he greeted with a nod to each of the three alongside him, "pleasure to meet all of you."
