[center]Her purchases were mindless – a little bit of jewelry here, a couple of new corsets there – a few trinkets and whatnots. Christian would surely not approve of her spending so carelessly, but she was certain he wouldn't chide her for it. Anything to keep her distracted was enough to keep him happy. If she wanted to go on frivolous spending sprees, then so be it. The girl hummed quietly to herself as she sorted through different fabrics, having been able to ignore the feeling of her sire up until that point. He must have been close, if not within the same little town that she'd be in. The thought frustrated her and her brows furrowed in an attempt to push it all away. Judging by the way that other male was around him, she doubted he would be alone… 

Still, as she weaved her way in and out of shops, she couldn't quite ignore that feeling much longer, and her curiosity had gotten the best of her. A couple of bags in tow, she continued throughout the town, following that little feeling in the back of her mind; following the need to know just where he was at – and furthermore, if he was alone, how wonderful would that be? She'd have such wonderful luck that day!

Her steps eventually carried her closer to the edge of town where the groups of people had thinned and ebbed away. She'd almost expected to see him wandering, but eventually she'd approached a side street. Brow raised, the girl lingered behind a little further before peering into the alleyway. 

Damn; of course that little nitwit would be there with him again – did the man ever leave the other alone?! Still, she peered into the alleyway and all at once an amused look fell on her features. Well, well… No one was going to maim her sire without her permission; she would make that very clear. 

With a little roll of her shoulders, Clara left the few bags on the side of the alleyway, strolling along silently behind the human, who quite frankly had been twice her size. Still, with her heels and a quick step up on her toes, she'd retrieved a dagger from her coat and wrapped her arm around the human's shoulders, the blade just teasing against his neck.  

"G'afternoon, love…" Clara murmured against his ear. "Now, if I were you, I'd take that little pistol of yours and put it away." Her gaze did not stray towards the other two, focused solely on her prey. [/center]
