Ravenia was right. Clo was indeed well beyond exhausted. The harpies' watch on the wall was a 24/7 job and with three of them at the city's disposal, shifts were usually taken at eight hour intervals. Of course their Mother was usually pretty lenient with who was posted and when, one of the reasons there were two Harpies in the sky during the day. Clo usually took the night shift given her black wings were an effective stealth element when the sky was the same color and the fact that she loved the view of stars. She could stare at them for hours and it was often she'd forget she was on duty, content to simply count out all the lights in the sky until the sun came up. Of course the sun was already up and hanging high above the clouds. Clo's shift was entering it's twelfth hour. She needed rest.

She darted back to her sister before she could switch out the rapier for her dual blades, lightly bumping into her body and pressing her lips just below her neck. When standing against Anora, Clo's head came up to her chin. She pulled away after only a moment. [b]"Sorry... and thanks."[/b] She kept it short and sweet knowing full well the situation at hand didn't give anyone time to really express how they felt. There would be plenty words to exchange later, lots of explaining to do on Clo's part she was sure, but redirecting the dead was more important. The way Clo was now, she'd more than likely get in the way rather than offer any real help. Besides, she was confident in Ravenia and Anora. Their leader and a Harpy made for a deadly combination.

Without giving Anora a chance to reply, Clo shot into the air and moved toward the closest solar car. Tobias was already funneling the kids into the back and would no doubt jump into the driver's seat to take them to safety. She gently landed next to the car, throwing the kids a smile and wink to let them know that she was okay and they were going to be safe. The girl smiled.

[b]"Thank you Tobi."[/b] Clo said turning to the man. He, like the car was covered in red dust. [b]"No time to evolve into a vacuum."[/b] She said climbing on top of the vehicle and hanging on to... something. Her wings prevented her from fitting into any of the available seats. She could fly but she needed the rest and elected to ride on top and hold on for dear life. [b]"We need to get back to the city to get these kids to safety... I'm sure you already know."[/b] [b][i]...More importantly...[/b][/i] Clo continued in her head. Earlier that day when she'd checked the wall before the end of her shift, she'd seen the horde through her gift. However if the horde was being diverted...

[b]"Hurry Tobi."[/b]
