Simple-minded

Penny kept telling him to go and enjoy his youth as if she was an old lady. But as time passed by, although she was repeating that like a broken record, her alcohol intake hindered her from actually shooing him away. So, Claude just watched her mumble gibberish as if she wasn't after some dangerous people. 

"Ah... now that I think about it..." Her finger that was pointing at him swayed, narrowing her eyes while staring at him. "Did we meet before? I think you look a bit familiar."

"Maybe? I usually roam around." He shrugged. 

This was also what baffled Claude. Everyone who laid their eyes on the Earl of Monarey never forgot what he looked like. But this woman didn't recognize him. He actually thought she would remember when she took off that mask, but instead, she raised a different question.
