Correction: I'm more refuse-to-tolerate-annoying-people-in-positions-of-power than you think.
[ It's a crucial difference to her, okay. Ange doesn't care about politics whatsoever until it's going to personally annoy her. And this feels like the sort of thing that could start to personally annoy her in ways real soon!
Though that's not the main point here. No, the correction is important, but not quite as important as asking: ]
Besides, why are you saying youth vote like you're some sort of grandfather? [ You're hardly older than her, Claude!!
Sure, even Ange views him as older than her, rather than on the same level as her, age-wise. But.. you know. Not that old. Not old enough that he should be at this weird how do you do, fellow kids level. ]
Good. We can partake in a little light assassination, should the need take us. Joking, joking!
[ ...kind of. There's nobody here he'd assassinate, but it's not out of the question should things lapse into a dictatorship, which probably won't happen considering the general temperament of the Chosen. They'd rather burn the whole damn city down than to answer to even the most well-meaning and well-founded orders. ]
And I'm saying it because you actually hang out with them, don't you? The only ones who talk to me are the ones who work for me! And I'm pretty sure they all think I'm at least thirty.
Yeah, it's weird that they would think you're thirty when you're actually a fifty-five year old man.
[ She likes Claude. It's just also very easy to make fun of him in this regard, especially when he's only confirming the stereotype as he's speaking! He practically put the ball right in front of the goal for her, and she just had to shoot it in there! ]
No wonder you act like the other people my age around here are an alien species. Are you sure you do like talking to a youthful girl like me, or am I just a convenient person to discuss politics with? [ This is not a genuine concern, okay, Claude, she's just being dumb and deadpan!!! ]

[ He sniffs. ]
It's my dignified composure, I'm telling you.
