But then Claude realizes - Sylvain's heard that plenty by now, hasn't he? And yet here he is, willing to suffer through being told to try again likely again even after hearing it so many times before and still asking. 'Asking' in the most abstract sense of what's admittedly a playful line, and yet he's still here and reaching for his hand.
