Klaus has far too much experience with both stealing and carrying conversations with people who don’t seem to be the super verbose sorts. He’s done it with Five, Diego, and even dick!Ben. Though Ben was just a hard ass with soft center. Clearly hadn’t been disappointed enough to give up on trying to impress Dad. Not that he could talk.

“I guess you’ve got plenty skills with the cop stuff, huh? How long have you been doing that?” Yes, he was just trying to find things to talk about.

He considers something for a brief moment, mind shifting entirely because he realizes he’s hungry and hasn’t eaten since all the terrible things started. “Do you think this place has waffles?” They wouldn’t be like Grace’s, but no one ever made them like your robot mom. It was probably because the smiley-face breakfasts were still sweet even when you got old and never came home except to steal from your dad occasionally.
