1X1 Against All Odds & Hikaru Kurosaki

[Tossing Spades]

Foxx didn't reply for what seemed an hour at the least. She was thinking on how to take that, being that she'd never heard that before. She'd been threatened, and told off, yelled at and fists flailing at her, but never someone tell her they cared. Looking up at the rear-view mirror, she glanced at Claude for a moment secretly, looking for something on his face that would give away the hint he was lying or was drugged with too many painkillers. Foxx shifted uncomfortably in the seat. "You care for someone who put you at gun's point? Practically kidnapped you and conned you out of all your money?" Turning the amber eyes to him she continued. "You care for someone who you don't even know a first name?" She asked.
{I'm probably gonna head to bed. I'm really sleepy.... lol. Night! }

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude regretted speaking in the silence. He tried to think that she would've dismissed his words. H nodded quickly as she spoke. "Um...yes. A lot, actually." He added, covering his eyes for a moment to avoid her gaze. "What is your name, by the way?" He asked bluntly, trying to change the subject.

(Night. C:)

[Tossing Spades]

Foxx ignored his last question, acting as if he'd never said a thing. Silence filled the car for what seemed hours. Finally she broke the tension. "A Walk In The Clouds." She told him, out of the blue.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude tried to seem consumed in his thoughts. What was her name? He didn't mind not knowing, though. It wouldn't bother him. Claude kept his eyes on her for a moment. "What?" He asked with a shaky laugh, arching an eyebrow.

[Tossing Spades]

Foxx kept her eyes hard on the road. "That was what Buddy called his land, just in Italian. It means A Walk In The Clouds." She answered, shedding a little more light on what he'd asked when they'd gotten to Buddy's house.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Realization flooded through him. Claude nodded, turning his attention back to the passing houses. "Thanks for telling me, but why tell me now? Why not before?" He questioned oncemore, moving his seat backwards. Class propped his feet on the dashboard with a smirk as he had enough room.

[Tossing Spades]

"Because now that you've experienced it, it truly was like a walk in the clouds, right?" Foxx asked glancing at him for a moment. "until the break in of course..."

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude exaimined the ceiling of the car with a slight nod. "I guess it was tranquil enough. The land was absolutely breathtaking, too." He stretched his legs for a moment before retracting them from the dashboard. "It fits." He sighed tiredly.

[Tossing Spades]

"Buddy wouldn't tell me what it ment until I spent at least the week there the first time I met him." She told him with a small smile at the memory.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude smiled weakly at her words. "Buddy made you think about it during the week before telling you. I thought about it all week." He chuckled. It'd nearly drove him crazy. "Buddy was too-kind to let you stay with him. He must care a lot about you." Claude grinned at her.
