[He's on his way to his Aunt's apartment when he catches sight of the blonde further down the street. (It's ridiculous, the way he has to stop and check whenever a blonde girl appears in the street if it's her or not.) When she turns her head and he realises that it is her... well. Bellatrix can wait.
Rather than call out he hurries to catch up with her, both to keep attention from being drawn to him (Bella should be in her apartment, but you never know how news is going to get to her) and to make sure Claire doesn't notice him until the last minute. Finally he falls into step beside her.]
I suppose it would be too much to ask to be told when your jailor decides to let you out?
[She's off her paranoid game and doesn't think to look around to see if anyone's following her, and is taken entirely by surprise as Draco pops up. She spins around to bring her elbow into contact with the voice's body, before placing that voice as belonging to Draco. She swings her arm downward then and blinks up at him, before letting out a laugh.]
It might be, since he didn't exactly let me out. You're standing next to an escaped prisoner, Draco Malfoy. You better get in all the visitation time that you can before I'm caught and given life with no chance of escape or parole.
[Just another day on the streets of Coruscant. The streets, and the back alleys. And the random people fighting outside cheap bars. There's a muffled CRASH as a group of men topple into a garbage droid on their way out of one of the alleys. One is just drunk, two are drunk and fighting, a fourth is Dante. There's some yelling from down the street as if to indicate it's a brawl that went beyond the bar
( ... )
[Before she runs into Draco, she manages to stumble across Dante and his fine spectacle of humanity. She watches the fight with mild interest, until the guy with white hair pulls a knife out of his shoulder as if it were nothing. Her interest is piqued then, and she stalks over, not caring if she's interrupting looting bodies or not.]
How did you do that?
[She's not very specific, but since she thinks she's found someone just like her, ability wise, she doesn't care if she seems rude or crazy.]
Not that. The knife out of your body thing. How did you do that? [She points and takes a step in closer.] You didn't even flinch when you pulled it out, it's like it just...healed.
[Hey, look, it's Claire! Not that Nathan's ever met her irl before, iirc. But she's a beautiful girl, so Nathan will drunkenly stagger over to her and ...
vomit all over her. Oops. At least he's not sick with the plague? ]
[What. What. WHAT is happening? Claire is pretty sure this is the most offended she's ever been, including the time dark future her cut off her scalp using a lightsaber.
She stands there, shocked and offended, vomit dripping off of her. She listens to the plip-plop of it dripping on the ground, then gives a big old disgusted shudder.]
[Sam's been slinking around. Hiding in places he doesn't usually haunt. So when he runs into Claire, he's a little surprised. But he hasn't actually seen her in a while, so he figures he owes her a hello. What with his knack for disappearing lately.
He's just started feeling a little under the weather, but nothing major yet. So he pushes that down and approaches her with a smile.]
[Hearing the voice, she didn't place it at first, and froze upon fearing being drug back home. But once she turns her head and sees that it's Sam, she smiles brightly and closes the distance between them with a big hug.]

Should I worry about being seen with a convict? I have a reputation to maintain, after all.

[Smirking, she looks around and finds a nice wall to push him toward. She's really missed him and needs a good place to kiss him, okay.]

They're unconscious, it's easy.
[He places the knife in the scabbard that's now his, and pockets some creds too. Yeah he doesn't know what you're talking about totally.]
