The group had split up into several groups to share rooms at the hotel. Obviously, Claire and Harmonia got their own room. It's a normal hotel room, one large bed in the middle of the room, with a lamp on each side. There's a TV across from it, and a small minifridge and microwave. There's a door to the bathroom near the entrance, and there's a small table with chairs. Harmonia had just gotten out of the shower, in the same clothes as before since she didn’t have a change of clothes. She sat down on the bed as she dried her hair and brushed it with her fingers. She looked over to wherever Claire was but didn’t say anything yet. However it was clear she was thinking about something. Claire was sat in one of the chairs at the table, looking at her phone. She had earbuds in, and was presumably listening to music as she scrolled through instagram. She looked... almost sad. There's no way to really describe it. Just melancholy.
“Hey Claire?” Harmonia said, to try and get her attention. Harmonia wasn’t sure how loud Claire’s music was.
"Yes, darling?" Claire pulled out her earbuds and looked up at Harmonia.
“Mind if I ask a hypothetical question?” Harmonia asked. Her arm just had a band aid on it, since it wasn’t badly injured, and Harmonia’s brown eyes were soft with thought and care.
"Of course," Claire said, turning her body to face Harmonia.
“If you could do anything, without worrying about demons or the end of the world or anything like that, what would you do? Like.. what’s your idea of a perfect life?” Harmonia took a deep breath in, as if trying to make sure she has her words correctly lined up in her head. Claire thinks for a moment.
"Well... I'd like to live with you, in a small cottage in the woods, and we would be happy together. We'd have a garden and we'd watch bad movies and..." she pauses, "I'm not sure after that.. I'm not actually, you know, used to being with someone like this." Harmonia smiles at her words
“Me either but… i’d like that. Once we get out of Hell, we could do that.. if you’d want… I mean of course we’d have to worry about the world ending probably and even if it goes back to normal theres worries and struggles and-“ she cuts herself off. Harmonia didn’t want to turn this conversation sour or morbid, “I’m rambling but… I’d like to face the world with you… Demons are less terrifying when you’re by my side.”
"I,, feel the same way," she says, grabbing Harmonia's hand. Her eyes are welling up with tears, but she doesn't want to show it. She laughs to herself, and looks up at Harmonia again, "Thank you for being here for me.." Claire was trying to hide it, but Harmonia knew she was upset. She was trying to hide her own emotions. She brings Claire into a tight hug.
“Of course… I’m not going anywhere, okay?” Harmonia tries to hold back her own tears, wanting to comfort Claire. Claire hugs Harmonia back, and breaks down into tears. She tries to say something, but can't. She doesn't know what she could say. Everything is so... confusing right now. She misses when it was all simple. Harmonia just holds her. She doesn’t ask whats wrong, she doesn’t shush her or say that it was all going to be okay. Harmonia doesn’t do anything except hold Claire with the silent promise that she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her. And that she was listening if Claire needed an ear.
