Claudius dotes on Danding without end, as an indulgent parent ought. The mention of Gertrude makes his smile shine a little brighter, and the thought of what she'd do if faced with a small rabbit. "She did, yes. And she told me you had kind things to say about me -- she heard kind things about me from everyone she met, to hear her tell it. I think she was pleased by the caliber of my friends. It felt rather like being entrusted into your care." Like a new sibling, but that goes without saying if Claudius is shushu.
