There really wasn't disguising where Claire's eyes were darting to earlier. Might as well come clean and admit it!<br/><br/>"Well, it's not like you can prove otherwise. At least you have a lovely rear. Take comfort in that!"<br/><br/>He wondered how quickly his head would have been sent to the chopping block had this exchange taken place with another Laplace sister. It would not have ended well or neat.  Has Alice hit her growth spurt yet? She's still a relatively small girl, even if her personality is more mature than how she looks. Anyway, the knight had something to do. Getting up from the tree stump he had been resting on, Claire began walking off towards where he saw the girl last, waving at the rest of the party.<br/><br/>"I'll be back once I make sure our rider is alright, then!"<br/><br/>Well, he owed her this much for helping them clear the assault a few hours ago, and especially for taking care of the group afterwards. Claire wondered what had gotten her so flushed, but she probably wouldn't open up to him yet. It'd be nice to have company with food, though. And at least Maribelle isn't letting Alice's antics get to her. Troublesome girl! Speaking of which, Claire made a mental note to fix the "Sir Huge!" nickname.
