Looking up at Claire again as she pointed over toward the stick of gum and took it, Joel chuckled as she immediately stuck a piece in her mouth and looked back down toward him. He shrugged his shoulders, shifting her upward slightly as he did so, reaching down into his pocket as he kept his other arm around her leg. [color=554300][b]"I'll spot you this time, you can owe me a drink."[/b][/color] He said with a smirk as if he'd gotten the better end of a deal. 

Paying for the cigarettes and gum, Joel moved back outside with her, ducking once more on the way out so she didn't get hit. Looking back over at Alc as he suggested they could look around, Joel glanced back up to Claire as she gave her two cents and nodded. [color=554300][b]"Heading back sounds like a fair plan, I suppose I have to meet the other McMa-"[/b][/color] Joel was cut off as the piece of gum was shoved into his mouth, coughing a little before he chuckled, beginning to chew on it. [color=554300][b]"Danke, Claire."[/b][/color] He'd thank her with a grin.

Shifting Claire on his shoulders again, Joel set off in the direction Claire pointed him to, essentially using her as a shoulder-mounted compass as he carried her back through the streets, chewing on the gum she'd shoved into his mouth as he tucked his cigarettes away into his pocket. The walk wasn't too long, even with Claire drumming on his bald head as was customary. And with another duck through the doorway they were back into the hotel, making their way into the dining hall. [color=554300][b]"Hallo!"[/b][/color] Joel greeted, loudly and heartily at the sight of Desh and a woman he'd not met yet, a grin on his face as he seemed to forget Desh's hangover with his loudness.
