Chloe scooted away from Aria when the girl sparked dangerously--if not for that helium bubble, she realized in plain shock, she could be dead or permanently disfigured--and cast Aura a spooked glance from wide green eyes. This evening had gotten just weirder and weirder, and she was starting to wonder if Jaden had been mistaken about being an iron elemental, and pondering the possibility that testosterone could be an element. She shook off the thought. This was a [i]bad[/i] situation. Terrible. Perhaps unsalvageable. 

She twitched slightly. It was getting hard to keep a cap on all the chlorine that wanted to billow out of her. She was forcing herself to breathe like a normal human being: [i]Oxygen in, that's it, good good good! Now carbon dioxide out, no one wants to smell pool here. Gooooood. [/i] It was, however, increasing in difficulty. 

Chloe stared right at Dan, who she wasn't happy with after the remark back in the café, and shouted over his ridiculous rape allegations, having forgotten for the moment about the terrifying man. "What is it you want, asshole?" Her eyes glinted subtly in the failing light. Chlorine wafted into the air. She stopped herself and remembered the possible kidnapper. [i]Shit![/i] Now he would not only hear them, but she was risking giving away their location with her swimming pool stink.
