There's a defensiveness to his tone, but Klaus can probably guess that him letting this bag go will not likely go well. He has had it for as long as he has been on his own and, while it's not much, it still feels as the first thing that was his. He'd never admit the sentimentality - after all, he's not the type - but it's very much there despite himself and his best efforts.
As Klaus rattles off the house rules, he nods. Although he may look like he's all but saying yeah, yeah, whatever with the way he does it, he is listening to him. Even if Klaus wouldn't have said anything, Diego would have behaved (or at least tried to); not only because he most definitely feels like a guest in foreign territory, and because he'll be in close proximity to Claire.
Which...is actually more nerve-racking than he could have expected. A six year old probably shouldn't elicit that kind of reaction, but this is not just any kid. She's one of their own, a little extension of their family (God help her).
"I think I can handle some sandwiches without burning down the house. I'd offer to pick up something to eat, but no car." He smiles faintly. "And I'm not leaving tomorrow, so we have time."
