In Claude's case, having planned for a long ride and maybe a nap before steering back, he'd packed a hefty saddlebag worth of provisions (most "borrowed" from the kitchens) in addition to his own satchel, quiver and bow. There isn't much need to sneak back into the kitchens, having brought plenty to begin with and doubting Felix would humor a nap— so his just-in-case dinner could instead suffice for sharing.
But if Claude likes to be anything, it's over-prepared. Besides, he needs to redistribute, having left behind the saddlebag.
It doesn't take long, such that marvel upon marvels, he manages fifteen minutes on the dot. Not that he's timing it.
Not that it doesn't remain oddly satisfying, to find Felix again waiting for him. ]

You're making me look bad.
[ Quipped cheerfully once near enough. ]
Next time, try making me wait.
