Clifford's smile widened as Alex joined their pair, and he couldn't resist studying her change in appearance for a few seconds. Just as she had looked great before, she looked great now too, but he definitely liked this hair cut. For one reason or another, it gave her a bit of an edgy and mature vibe that made it hard for him to focus attention on anything other than staring at her after the few seconds of it being appropriate and excusable had passed. "I'm ready to knock out on this flight," he answered with a chuckle. "What about you? You've got that fresh cut, so it looks like you're ready to make some moves this trip, Alex," he added more playfully. "You're lucky you'll have this one and Kat with you this trip," he continued, nodding to Charlotte. He wasn't sure if she was as fluent and comfortable with the French language as he knew Katherine was, but he knew she was one of the few who was fluent enough to be able to get along well enough if she ended up lost and alone somewhere in Paris. "They'll be able to translate and give you the heads up when all those French dudes are telling their friends they're gonna try to make a move on you." He was sure that France had their fair share of guys like Vincent. His words reminded himself of his friend, which led to him looking past the girls and down the corridor that was scattered with travelers. He saw a few familiar faces among the herds of unknown ones, most looking like they were heading towards the gate.

"We should probably head to the gate now. I bet they're going to start boarding any minute now," Clifford suggested, already beginning to head in that direction. "Who're you guys sitting with?" he asked, glancing down at his own ticket. He had seats next to his friends, but unfortunately, they had ended up in the middle of the plane, closer to the back, rather than closer to the front like he would have preferred. It wasn't a horrible issue, as Cliff wasn't very picky, but simply a minor inconvenience.
