... Do you have business with me? I will tell you what I have told others, from those in my team to those outside of it: speak plainly.
[ sorry claude, but dialing back now is going to look insincere. ]
What people think of me is of no concern to me. So, I have no interest in false pleasantries. I am not impressed by mind games.
(Speaking plainly is... difficult for Claude and he's quiet for a while, as if trying to figure out exactly how to do that,)
... I came here to ask if you knew anything about how to bring back those who have been removed. You're the first source I've heard about this and I was hoping you would have learned more.
(That's the truth, at least.)
But if there's nothing more to be gained there, then there's my second reason for coming here. I want to try to find out who killed Raven. Not for revenge-- that isn't my style. But to understand why.
I know you leaders go to sleep like the rest of us. And I don't really expect you to know much... but if he was on your team, I'm hoping maybe you noticed something after he changed. I know you leaders can keep an eye on us.
... Then you will be disappointed. I don't know who took his life, I didn't notice anything, and if there was anything unusual about Raven's change, beyond him losing more of his memories, I did not sense it.
... Yeah, you got that right. (It is disappointing to get nothing but he'd kind of expected it.) I'm not surprised, though. I know you guys are also missing a lot of answers to your own questions.

(Checks out and he sighs,)
If you do learn more about how to bring back the dead... I'd like you to let others decide if they're willing to pay whatever price is necessary.

You know little of me or what I have done. You said you heard this from someone else on my team, did you not? I think that speaks for itself.

(He's been pushing his luck for awhile so it's probably best to... dial it back a bit!!)
Did you ever talk to Raven? Or Schwann?
