โI can make a few calls, make sure we're situated once we touch down, you just take care of the flights and let me know where we're landing, Claire.โ
โAt that point we might as well turn it into a Michael Bay movie, have explosions and rocks falling.โ
A smirk as Leon reminisced of younger times. He's gotten old, it dawn's on him sometimes when he looks back at things.

Leon gave Claire a softer smile, he could see her mind working, planning, running at a thousand miles an hour. It was entrancing in a way.
โFor now let's focus on getting out of here, unless there's a jet ski about we've got bingo to attend.โ
โWell, we can't exactly carry a bag full of weapons onto a plane, best to concern ourselves with that once we get to where we're going, I know a few people who can help arrange a drop off.โ

"Anyway, if we're trying to get this thing planned, we're going to have to go prepared. We can't be without weapons and a plan. We need to be able to defend ourselves if shit hits the fan."
โDoes that man ever not have a scowling expression? Don't think I've seen him smile once. . . Then again, he may in fact, break a mirror if he smiled into it!โ
โMany times? Guess you and your brother are quite different in the end, huh?โ
He couldn't help but to chuckle a little at the idea of Chris showing up to the rescue with his arms crossed and scowl on his face.

โYou kiddin'? I always need backup from you, Claire.โ
Leon chuckled, the light hearted joke more than welcome under the circumstances. He was still held in trepidation of her joining him though, of course there was no-one other than her he'd rather have at his side.

โThink there will be room for a plus one on that flight?โ
The question was rather blunt in comparison to how he had been. Perhaps that would be a mistake but he'd been holding it back for quite a while. What was the point now? Especially with everything going on.
There wasn't a question about that |
"So, should I try to find flights to there then? You're going to be packing an awful lot, and the jet lag will be terrible I bet."
Her question seemed obvious to him, who else would he willingly tell? Of course he was sure Ada knew, she always seemed to have her fingers in all of the pies. A simple shake of the head to respond.
โI think I've had enough of ancient mythologies within puzzles, but. . . Australia is meant to be quite beautiful. Never really managed to get over there. It's big too, easy to get lost there, even harder to find someone trying to hide.โ

@SpyInTheShadows โAda. . . I knew that was you watching me. What's your story this time, you my persecutor or saviour?โ
He was sure she knew what he did, what choice he made. Though, it was good to see her.
He knows @SpyInTheShadows is there, watching him from a distance. He can tell when she's near because the hairs on the back of his neck stands up, not out of fear or warning, but through shared past experiences.
โMy. . . Bucket list?โ
Of course he knew what it was despite his question insinuating otherwise, however it was something that he had never really put into consideration even though he was always going on about a holiday he'd never actually thought about locations.
