Claire looked up as Lithos ran into the room, panting as if he had ran a marathon. "Fellow...Guardians... we have...a problem...outside. D-Dead bodies...at gate...Hikari...missing...don't know where...please..." She had noticed the blond woman leave but didn't feel any reason to follow her. One of the other guardians crossed the room to the panting boy. "Well, this seems most urgent. We'd best get a move on, yes?"
Claire crossed over to the two others and addressed the room as a whole. "If we are to pursue the woman and whatever has caused all this slaughter. I would suggest that some of us stay here in case the King comes down to meet us or he is need of protection. I personnally vounteer to stay back to watch for trouble. The rest of you can make your own decision on that to do. I will stay here, just in case." She nodded to Lithos and Setz and left the ballroom in search of the King.
