Looking at Cia was...well, enraging for Claire. She was so happy. The girl was looking around at the ruins of the city as if it was an amusement park, skipping around and looking at things as if she found herself in a happy-go-lucky-rainbows-snowcone-chipper-Wonderland! This used to be filled with humans -humans that she KILLED- and she was off sniffing the flowers and smiling?! The worst part was that as much as she wanted to address it, Claire had to hide it. She wanted Cia to feel it genuinely, so forcing it out of her was not the idea.

Luckily for her, the group was nearing one of the places she wanted to check out. It was a destroyed apartment complex, but the floors she wanted to go to were still intact...or as much as they could have been within the span of 30 years and plenty of magical influence. When Xoxi asked about Cia's history with the humans, Claire chuckled a bit and shook her head.

"[color=f7941a]You're on your own with this one, Cia. I'm off to check this place out.[/color]"

With that, the music goddess went inside the building, leaving the two to converse.

The stairs were still in one piece, save for the upper floors, and the elevator was understandably out of order. She made her way to two apartments that were neighboring each other. The doors were on the floor and covered with foliage, but they still held some distinct children's drawings. Going inside of one, she looked around, and found that it was exactly how she imagined it. Tossed about with nothing being where you t was meant to be. Shattered shards of mirror glass littered all about, rusted forks, spoons, pots, and whatever else could be counted as metal kitchenware scattered along with them, a broken TV smashed through a wall. Just as she imagined it.

On the floor, Claire found what she had been looking for. A Worn Ribbon that miraculously survived the destruction. She picked it up, and went into the next apartment. It was much the same as the first. This time, however, she picked up something else. Ballet shoes.

She looked at these trinkets with sadness. These items belonged to two children she knew of. The daughters of some of her best friends. She remembered taking some time off to DJ at their birthdays...She remembered that she promised to some by again the year after. Before going off to gather survivors in the zombie plague, she ensured their safety by sending some musical contructs...

Claire shook her head to disperse the memories. There were a couple more places she hoped to visit. If they left soon, maybe she'd return after everything was said and done. She left the building to return to Xoxi and Cia.
