– “SO,” CLAIRE DOWNS THE REST OF HER DRINK BEFORE CONTINUING, glancing across the field at harlowe and levi, who are in the midst of some conversation. “ what’s your opinion on that ? ” claire asks, tilting her head indicatively.

🥊 ( leo, elliot, axel ) ; 💍 ( helena, sora, maddie ) ; 🔪 ( isaac, teddy, gemma )

🥊 - pinch, slap, punch.

WTF, what would prompt Marcello to punch any of these people? But... Pinch Leo, cause he’s going through enough shit. Slap Elliot, it might do him some good to toughen up a little. Although, Marcello would never usually go for such measures. Punch Axel, because he seems the most capable of taking it. 💍 - fuck, marry, kill. “Obviously, I’m going to marry Maddie. It is just going to take some time to resolve things... Helena is a doll, so I wouldn’t mind spending a night with her. Sora, uhh. Yeah.”

🔪 - protect, attack, fight side-by-side with.

“I’d attack Isaac to get him to chill the fuck out. Gemma is capable, quite a brilliant lady. She would make for a wonderful fighting partner. Teddy seems.... soft. I could potentially see him needing protection.”

– SHE SEES ELLIOT IN THE GYM A LOT, well, actually most of the time she sees elliot, it’s in the gym. anya wonders if she goes anywhere else, but that’s okay, because...she feels like she learns a lot from subtly watching elliot, eyeing her form, copying her technique. she’s been doing it about a half hour until she actually meets eyes with the other girl across the gym. “ sorry ! i wasn’t watching you – well, i WAS watching you, but not like...that, ” redness blooms on her cheeks, “ it’s just that you’re really good. ”

– “SO...DO YOU THINK IT’S GONNA BE FROWNED UPON IF WE SPAR DURING LUNCH BREAKS?” claire asks as they’re leaving the capital building after their first day. “ not gonna lie, i’m gonna start tweaking if we have to sit at a desk all day, i’m already twitching a little after all the orientation stuff we went through, look – ” claire holds up her hand, as if it might twitch at any moment.

– “GOOD MORNING,” CLAIRE GREETS, glancing over at elliot with a wry smirk, hoping to get a glimpse of how HUNGOVER the other girl must be. “ props to you for even showing up here, i figured you’d be conked out for SURE, ” and claire sort of wishes she was, but she got about three hours of sleep and she already knew that’d be it. she actually needs this, to work her body so hard that she has no choice but to pass the fuck out without thinking. “ how’re you feeling ? ”

– THE HARDEST PART OF THE NIGHT IS NOT FIGURING OUT HER CLUE. it’s actually FINDING elliot among the crowd of people with masks, giant ballgowns, and constant chatter. it actually takes almost the entire time to track her down, even though she doesn’t have to. claire just wants to flex how smart she is ( though i wouldn’t say that having a clue you already know the answer to makes you smart. ) “ hey, you, ” claire says when she finally finds elliot on the dance floor, nonchalantly cutting in the middle of whoever elliot is dancing with. “ you know muay thai and jiu jitsu, right ? ” claire asks. if the clue had been about elliot’s favorite movie, her hometown, or what she liked to have for breakfast, claire would’ve been fucking clueless. but ask claire to remember what combat styles elliot is good at and it’s fucking locked in.

– CLAIRE’S BEEN GOING AT IT FOR ALMOST AN HOUR NOW, so hard that she almost can’t breathe, standing in the center of the gym wiping sweat off her brow. she’s practically created a dent in the punching bag and she has to stop herself, resting her hands on her knees as she catches her breath. “ need a minute, ” she gasps, feeling someone come up behind her, “ the fuck do you want ? ”
