He'd get to Ben's questions eventually, he always did - mostly. But this was something else entirely and Ben was standing there feeling more real than he had in over a decade. And Klaus didn't know what to make of this. "Uh, I beg to differ my dude." He said dropping his hands after Ben hit at him and actually connected again, "This feels like a Swazey to me."
But maybe he had gotten really good? That seemed unlikely though, "I have been sober for over a month so you know?" He shrugged not sure of that had actually made a difference or not, but here was Ben feeling as solid as if he was a real boy again, so maybe being sober had done a thing.
"Uh - so we're kind of not in Kansas anymore." He said finally addressing Ben's questions, "I'm not really sure where we are," Not back home, no in the past, not in the future, at least he didn't think so. "You guys have been... god Ben it's been over a month." And he felt that same urge itching under his skin that he had with Five and he knew it was coming. Better to just get it out of the way now while Ben still looked mostly solid.
Klaus wrapped his arms around Ben, half convinced he was going to fall through him or something, or that he'd hate it enough to cancel out any abilities that Klaus had at keeping him solid and instead found that he didn't. He hugged him tightly, wrapped his arms around him and held Ben and he felt - real. Like not just solid, but real and alive.... "Uh, so funny question - how alive do you feel right now?"
