Anyway starting with something shallow but Claude always thought Alex was one of the prettiest and most graceful people in the game. He IC joked that someone like her could probably be on Swan's team and he wouldn't be surprised for aesthetic reasons.
Going beyond that, he was always interested in her and respected her. She was so helpful and kind when he was planning his feast and he admired that about her and it left a really good first impression on him. Admittedly, he was worried about her at first once the murders started because she seemed like she could have been a soft person but over time, she was able to get through each week with what seemed like a certain level of grace and calm so he realized she must have been much stronger than he initially thought.
Over time, he started to learn a little bit about her life. Knowing she came from a place that was difficult, her handling of the situation in game started to make a little more sense to him. The Realm was difficult but Alex's life had been difficult too, you know? It was probably just a matter of adjusting one lame situation to another. Claude's got a protag heart so he was very sympathetic about that and wanted Alex to have better experiences and he sincerely wished for a better world for her.
When he saw that memory of her HITTING A GUY WITH A PIPE??? He was surprised but also... not? By that point, he didn't doubt Alex was strong and would help others but he didn't expect her to go into a situation where she was clearly at a disadvantage and just go for it. Claude is someone who doesn't like to take big risks if he can help it (he'll do it, he just doesn't like it). So seeing that was incredibly admirable to him and he really respected her.
He'd always pegged her for like... a steadying figure in game. Someone people could go to for peace of mind and safety if they really needed it. Claude had his own support network so he never had to seek her out like that but he definitely recognized Alex as a valuable and precious person in the Realm.
AAAAND LASTLY I'm sorry that when she called him out for cursing Chiron, he was so blithe about it hahahaha. But Claude did it knowing he'd make people angry and as someone who's been making people angry since the moment he was born, his way of coping with that is just... embracing all judgement and not caring what people think about him. He really did feel bad which is why he just accepted his curses after and didn't bother explaining himself/asking for forgiveness. He didn't need Alex's approval in game since he had his own people so it was fine. But he really did feel bad and acknowledged her feelings on the matter. He just filed them away to remember later.
