Claude was a bit surprised that the attention had been drawn back to him but it made sense that his roommate didn't want all the attention on him. It could be awkward. However, Claude wasn't exactly sure how to describe why he was here. He didn't want to be dramatic and start into the whole issue with his uncle and the idea of "status." He rubbed his neck, his green eyes moving around the room for a moment.
"Ah, well, the usual reason most heroes come here I guess. Hone my gift, help others." he waved his hand nonchalantly. "My gift is enhanced accuracy and marks-men ship," He didn't really need to explain what it meant, Albedo could probably figure it out.
"Though,I also am hoping that by being here I can help people realize that just because some don't have gifts, it doesn't mean they aren't capable, bring the gap I guess you could say, my parents were heroes too so by being here I hope I could learn about them and what they did."

Albedo wasn't entirely interested in the whole 'even if you're not super, you're still super' mentality that Claude had. Admittedly, it was because he didn't know what to do what that or how to process it. Despite his smarts, he could never figure out emotions, or how to react to certain things very well. Even he could admit it was a shortcoming of his. It was best to just push that as far away as possible. Though, his interest was peeked at the mention of enhanced accuracy.
"With that, do you have to use a weapon, or is that anything you do? Say you throw something?"

"I've never actually tried it with throwing anything." The thought hadn't even occurred to him, it was something he would have to experiment with during his time here. "I've only really ever used it with my bow and arrows. Though that might be due to the fact that I discovered my ability during an archery club meeting."
He glanced over at the bow and the pack of arrows that he had brought that were leaning against the side of his bed, would he have discovered that gift without them? He wasn't sure, it didn't matter. The whole idea of both parents being super made Claude expecting to get a gift eventually but he had thought perhaps it would have been a much more visible gift, like teleportation or super-speed.

"It's worth a try. Perhaps start with darts?"
Albedo was admittedly a little disappointed. Granted not everyone was interested in finding out the miniscule uses for their powers. But he was the one who was constantly pushing his intelligence to the limit. Hence the multiple degrees and constant studying. Then again, Albedo wasn't entirely sure he would enjoy having a roommate who was good with projectiles of any nature, especially if they were tossed his way.

Claude's eyebrows rose at the thought of trying darts with his gift. They were kind of like mini arrows just without a bow. He would have to try it, maybe he could buy a mini dart board downtown and hang it up. It would be a good experiment at the very least, also his roommate did seem like he wouldn't mind having it around.
"That sounds like fun. Darts are pretty simple to use." he said, smirking. "Never really used darts a lot at home but first time for everything."

"As a hero, you're supposed to be able to utilize anything to your advantage," Albedo said, as if reciting something. "Your enemies aren't going to play fair. Why should you?"
The last part was perhaps a bit morally questionable. Albedo knew that if the odds weren't in his favor, he would do anything and everything he had to. Granted, he didn't intend to be on the front lines punching criminals or chasing super villains. He was going to be inventing stuff for heroes instead. Or at least until he got bored with it, he supposed, and decided to chase some other interest.
