[ Fair enough -- less of a given is still something of a given. And yeah, don't tell, but he isn't the kind of guy to leave someone in that position.
At least not under these circumstances.
Embarrassment seems to have quickened Felix's pace. (He'd be further generous and attribute it to aggravation, but that's kind of his baseline, isn't it?) Claude can keep up, though he's beginning to feel the weight of those excessive supplies. Weight that's still easy to ignore, with Felix so entertaining at his side.
Just why it is he gets such a kick out of Felix's grumpiness, may merit consideration he won't give it. Maybe because of what it does and doesn't say. Maybe because he "puts up" with Claude, anyway.
Meanwhile, the answer: a cave. Hey, it could prove exciting. Claude nods. ]
Got it. Yeah, a cave would make a good landmark.
[ A good turning point, since Felix wasn't bound to stick around. Sooner they get there, sooner they can leave, right? As for Claude... ]
