[ Clint's hands ball into fists in his pockets. Somehow, he forces himself to stand still, just for a moment. ]

Gabriel. That's a nice name. [ A beat. ] I lived in New York City, too. Brooklyn. Before I got here. Crazy city, right? How'd you get into watchmaking, family thing?

[ This helps. This really does. He can let Gabriel go. ]

[ The corner of his lips twitch up, seeing Clint succeed at distracting himself a bit. ]

Yeah, my dad did it before me. The shop itself was actually in Brooklyn. Gray and Sons. I was pretty proud of it.

[ He backs up a couple more steps while he's talking. He's not going to bolt- that's a terrible idea as someone's prey- but he will slowly make his way over to the closest thing to hide behind. Unfortunately, that's a house about fifteen yards away. But slow and steady here might keep them from attacking each other. ]

[ It also helps if Clint closes his eyes and looks down. Still, he sees that hint of a smile before he does, and it makes him feel better. It lets him hold on to the little sanity he's got left. ]

That's awesome, man. Brooklyn's great. It's been a long time since I've worn a watch, maybe I should get back into doing that. [ He rubs at his face. ] Thanks. Thanks, you should - go, before I change my mind again, just. Run.

[ Sincerely, though: ] Thank you, Gabriel. Really.

[ There's something in him that wants to tear this small peace apart, suddenly. This night had been so vindicating. Helping Clint overcome this new compulsion- Clint managing it- was a remarkably unsatisfying conclusion. If Gabriel hadn't been able to do it, why should he?

So it's good Clint has his eyes closed, and can't see the sudden glare that comes from Sylar. There's a heavy sigh as Sylar reminds himself once again that this isn't the end. And then he does run. Quiet, even footsteps into the dark. ]
