[ He was on his way to meet her - her company the comforting light in a foreign world of darkness and death - so he'd even had something of a smile on his face as he made his way through the crowds. But that smile vanished as soon as the dragon cast it's shadow, the air filling with screams as people started to scatter and run.
He should run, he knows. But he also knows that she's here, somewhere, and whatever stubborn little part of him that had him go back to Ferrix again and again despite the danger - that part of him that had him go right into the proverbial dragon's den to get Bix - that part of him starts running toward the dragon, into the crowd as he desperately searches for Clara's familiar face. He feels the viscera of the man who was near him smear across his skin in the explosion, streaking his cheek with blood, but he doesn't care. Because he spots her - standing there, out in the open, eyes shut tight and hands over her ears as if she can keep the world out by pretending it's not there.
He doesn't even call her name, he just sprints across the street, almost tripping over a chunk of the body that landed between them, and grabs her elbow as he reaches her, pulling her as sharply as she can to try to get her to break into a run with him. ]
