I mean, they're kinda noodly. Not, like, Lorenz levels of noodly but I'm pretty sure they're close to spaghetti!
[He's laughing, so it's obvious he still isn't too serious! Still, compared to a lot of people in Claude's life, he really doesn't have that bulkier build. Balthus undoubtedly takes after their dad in that respect. Nader is pretty bulky, as are Holst and Raphael. And then there's Dimitri, of course—who may not be quite like them, but makes Claude look small in comparison!
It doesn't really bother him, but it's something he's aware of. Naturally, the fact Dimitri has such strong arms is a point in his favor, because he finds he likes the security of being held close in those arms. The idea of Crest strength doesn't even really occur to him, since the appearance of them was rare enough even in the times when they were heavily relied upon in Fódlan.
(He also doesn't consider that his own stamina and how it seems to shine best during his archery tournaments and practices could be tied to a Crest; the notion of Riegan blood coursing through his veins is nothing more than a goofy fantasy he's had in admirations here and there.)]
As for what to do tonight... Why not just play it by ear? We can order in some food when you're hungry, watch a movie...
[Maybe make out for a while? Honestly, that's mostly where Claude is going with this. Not that he intends for things to go too far, but he's craving a bit of Dimitri's affection right now. Better to just put on a movie in the background that might not matter too much if they inevitably get distracted by trading kisses? They've got all the time in the world to finish watching the shows they've started or making progress in the game they've been playing! Going about things by playing the night fast and loose sounds a bit more fun to him.
Claude's definitely not shy with his intentions, and without even saying it directly, there's undeniably an undertone that he probably wants to spend some time doing things that they can only do now that they're actually a couple. At the very least, Dimitri doesn't have to leave any room for worry that Claude isn't fully invested in what they have going on right now.]
