[And meanwhile, elsewhere, when day's fully emerged and Clare is able to sit down, above ground. Not even going to bother masking the fact she's more than just a little irritated, especially with the last scenario at home. Finally, before long, Clare just quietly sits down on the ground, resting her eyes, and with a mutter. A mask? Really?]Calling

BEHIND YOU, CLARE

aaaand is snoring softly, awww.]

[caladcholg]

I'll be blunt... we're in grave danger, Raki.

[keeps_strange]

Heh, what else is new?

[He sounds flippant, but he's waiting seriously for her explanation.]

[caladcholg]

[As much as it bugs her, she keeps a straight face, as usual. Humans really shouldn't have to say that so casually, especially Raki.]

My last memories of are of a powerful Awakened Being... arguably the strongest of them all. We should be there protecting others, not here.

[keeps_strange]

[...ohhhh no, he's got a bad feeling about this.]

...Oh?

[p-please don't let it be Priscilla please don't let it be Priscilla please don't let it be Priscilla]

[caladcholg]

[As if Clare would go into details -- it hits too many personal nerves, after all.]

I worry for them. There's strength in numbers, yes, but-

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to rip them to shreds.

[keeps_strange]

[EEEK Clare so scawy when she's mad s-sob]

'Them'? There's more than one?

[caladcholg]

[Exactly. She continues walking silently, only having that reminder of her anger in her. Just looking at him helps calm her down to a degree. And watch her change the subject.]

Where were you last, Raki, do you remember?

[keeps_strange]

...I was back home.

[And for some reason this makes him...smile?]

[caladcholg]

[The village they first met? She remembers it, if only a little. And here's to praying that it wasn't hit from the blast. If he's happy, then a part of her is happy.]

Is it exactly as you left it?

[keeps_strange]

[Raki laughs, a little ruefully.]

Pretty much! Me, a yoma corpse, and a Claymore. Funny how these things come around again, right?

[caladcholg]

Perhaps this may be hypocritical of me to say, but you should count your blessings.

[keeps_strange]

Every day.

[caladcholg]

[With the utmost sincerity, Clare stops him, and looks up at him.]

I'm proud of you, Raki.

[keeps_strange]

[

CUE BLUSHING also holy crap. Raki now realises he is Taller Than Clare, wut??]

...Thanks, Clare. It means a lot to hear you say that.

[caladcholg]

[Clare doesn't understand your blushing, at all. How is that flustering? And yes, you're taller, which makes this and the hugging weirder.]

I'm glad.
