Claire helped Leon up on his feet, minding his injured leg. She chuckled to herself and shook her head while rolling her eyes in a playful matter, [color=slateblue]"Gosh, what is this, 1729?"[/color] Claire said sarcastically, [color=slateblue]"Come along now dear Leon, we must get to our carriage now! Oh dearie me, how the times have changed! Can a lady not go around and be straightforward on her own anymore? Such travesty!"[/color] She joked, her voice taking on a slight English accent while a hand fanned her face for additional dramatic effect.

Although, she immediately hushed when his hand reached her face, sending trickles of warmth across her cheeks and wherever his fingers graced. 

[color=fff79a]"It's not everyday I get to spend time with a cryophoenix. I just hope you'd welcome a gravedigger at your side."[/color] Leon murmured. Claire nodded.

[color=slateblue]"I'd rather welcome you instead if you don't mind telling the gravedigger to take a hike."[/color] She replied, a little boldly. Sirens seemed to gradually fill the air as the police responded to the many panicked calls to 911. Claire cocked her head in the direction they were coming from, listening intently before turning back to Leon who seemed to be very eager  to leave the scene. She couldn't agree with him more when he warned her of the possible consequence of being apprehended by law enforcement and thus, she turned towards the majority of the spectators. Underneath her breath, she silently murmured an apology before raising a hand into the air. After a few moments of channeling, a wall of ice sprouted from the ground and in front of the crowd as well as into the street.

[color=slateblue][i]"Phew...I'm exhuasted."[/i][/color] Claire panted, catching her breath and noting the small headache developing. Surveying the wall, she found it to be satisfactory and then hurried along [i]at best possible speed[/i] with Leon in order to escape the area.

Claire glanced over to Sam, worry etched on her face, [color=slateblue]"Sam! You need to get away, the police are coming! And put some clothes on!!! Bring him with you or just leave him!"[/color] She called out before making her exit.

Staying close to Leon, they both hustled along alleyways and backstreets while avoiding the larger, more populated areas. Claire had seen bystanders during the battle and they were raising their phones towards them and capturing every second on camera. She hoped the videos and pictures wouldn't end up posted up somewhere public. Claire could see the post go viral now, "Freak girl on the streets!" or something along those lines. Eventually her mother would take notice and it would be then that she'd have to explain herself to her family or be alienated. She didn't want either event taking place regardless.

Unfortunately, her apartment was in the other direction, but she didn't mind hanging out with Leon for now. In fact, she was a little curious about him and intended to ask him a few questions whenever they were safe.
