[center][color=slateblue][b][h3]Claire[/h3][/b][/color][/center] Just as it was in League, the more time she spent sustaining the spell, the more prana she spent and the more stress her mind and body took! Snow and flecks of ice whipped through the air around Claire, enveloping her and the nearby proximity in her own personal blizzard. [color=slateblue][i]'I need this to be stronger...'[/i][/color] She held her hands out and in her head, she pictured the satellite view of a catastrophic storm she knew well from her upbringing in Florida - [i]a hurricane[/i]. The storm obliged to her will and she became the epicenter around a swirling disk of bluish-white prana, frost, harsh winds, and ice. She took a deep breath and paused, feeling the strain on her physically and mentally, before fixating her focus on the Urgot. With her storm now built up around her, she was ready to unleash it in full effect on the monster and send it back to the Rift! With the conundrum of battle, Claire wasn't able to hear Leon's shouts for her to cease the blizzard and just as she was about to let the destructive blizzard loose, a dark emerald silhouette rapidly approached her out of the corner of her vision. A split second later, she felt a sudden warmth envelop her and a restrictive force placed upon her arms. [color=slateblue][b]"I won't let you stop me!"[/b][/color] She growled, realizing she'd have to deal with this new threat on her own. Shaking her head, she immediately took her laser-sharp focus off of the battlefield and onto the object clinging onto her, ready to collapse the storm upon herself in self-defense. However, she soon recognized [i]who[/i] it was and stopped. [color=slateblue]"L-Leo!?[/color] Claire murmured in surprise and disbelief, slightly startled at his sudden appearance! The storm weakened and gradually disappeared as she turned her full attention onto him, noting he had caught her in a rather snug embrace. In a friendly gesture, she squeezed him in return and gave him a quick pat on the back before detaching herself from him and took a step back, her blue eyes analyzing him and widening as she quickly realized as Leon's appearance had shifted. His clothes were torn and even dissolved in some places and his now emerald-accented skin sported cuts and some of these injuries had swelled. A shovel rested in the snow next to them and Claire recalled that he had never really unveiled who his champion was, until now. A brief moment of silence passed as she struggled to figure out what she'd say out of all the possible responses running in her mind. [color=slateblue][i]'I don't mind flirting...but can it wait until after we're done here?' 'Yorick? I thought you were more of a Yi anyways though. Jeez, why were you being a moron and not even tell me? You know who I was since day one, and only now I find out you?' 'WHAT THE HELL, WHY DID YOU STOP ME!?' 'Jeez...you've seen better days...'[/i][/color] Claire calmed herself and opted for the safer option, [color=slateblue]"Are you okay? I know you're doing your best out there, but don't over exert yourself Leo. We can work together."[/color] she said, eying his injuries.
