Claude doesn't even seem ruffled by any of it, the monsters, her reaction, whatever. He's not a terribly easy person to ruffle anyway, but really he's just a good actor. This is...more than he was expecting, if he's honest. (He isn't always, not entirely, and not out loud.)
"Sorry about that," he says, though he isn't. "Better you get a little scare than a face full of ghoul drool though, right?" Despite the somewhat grim situation, his smile is as irreverent as his tone.
It might not have been necessary, he realises. She can obviously handle herself with a sword. Still, he's gotta make allies in this place somehow, right? There are a couple more off in the distance, but he thinks they might be coming to the end of this encounter with monsters fairly soon. Well, good.
"You up for a tag team? You go close and I'll cover you? Promise I won't hit you. My aim's good." That much he means. And if it came to it, he'd get closer. He's not out here to watch someone get seriously injured or killed. The money for the job doesn't matter too much to him; they can split it as far as he's concerned.
