Koja took a deep breath. "Oh my God - Oh my God." He was freaking out now, concerned for his siblings. "Are you okay?"

Claire held Kion's gaze for a while, a range of emotions on her face. That was one thing about Claire, she didn't hide what she felt from anyone. She didn't have walls built up, she wasn't guarded and she didn't have secrets. Her thoughts and emotions were on display for everyone, she didn't care. It wasn't something she worried about. She didn't get close to people because she just wasn't a people person. She preferred to stick to herself, and get her job done, because that's what you do when you want to succeed. What she wanted to succeed in? Well, even Claire didn't know, but she knew she wanted it. And if she wanted it she had to work for it. She had to do her job and play her part and that meant she had to go it alone. Yet not alone. When she met Kion, everything seemed to shift. Her work became their work. She found someone who seemed just as hard working as her. Someone who was after something and going for it no matter what. And all of a sudden, Claire's plans had changed abruptly. All of a sudden she was working, no longer alone, but with someone who understood her. The two had lost touch a long time ago, but now together, they seemed to fall back into the familiar pattern, the bond both of them understood, but neither of them spoke of.

Kion simply stared at her, amber eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. Now he, he did hide his emotions, for the sake of keeping things between them strictly professional. Their line of work was intense and they could have no distractions. They had a nice relationship, they both would admit this, but if they were to succeed in their job they would have to put anything that wasn't professional on hold. They both knew this, they both knew they had to keep it strict between them. And they were okay with it. Neither of them saw anything wrong with their current relationship - Neither of them were willing to step back, nor step forward. Everything seemed to have frozen where it was. It wasn't a friendship between them, per se, but an acquaintanceship. An understanding. Yet both of them new somehow they'd always end up... Here. Where they were. Together. As friends. As enemies. As something in between. Whatever it was, whatever they did, they would always end up right here. And it was okay. It was okay as long as that thin line between them remained unbroken. Kion was willing to stay where he was, not moving forward and not moving back, and Claire was more than okay with it. They seemed to have an understanding of this.

Claire broke the silence first, her voice not as blank as before. "But really," She looked at Kion. "I won't do anything stupid. Know why? 'Cause I'll have my moral compass with me. Won't I?"
"Yeah," Kion gave one short nod, staring at her. "You know you will, Claire."
"Good." Claire didn't smile, but her purple eyes seemed to spark slightly.

Kila blushed slightly, her gaze darting to the ground. "It's not a big deal,"
