The moment was soon over. She regained her great posture, her charismatic ringmaster persona. Before she continued to check on her charges, she wandered over to the horses. Her eyes singled out a tall white horse. Sofia took off her red velvet glove on her right hand and fondly pet the horse's nose. "Can I trust you and your horses, Rihan?" Ringmaster Argent asked. Her tone was casual, but her words were loaded. |

The clown's lighthearted humour didn't quite make it to Mono, they were an unexpressive person. A focused look was the most frequent face they made. With the flaming light, he quickly and carefully began lighting the unlit torches. More and more of the area became easier to see, keeping those long shadows at bay. Something always seemed off about it but Mono had decided not to ponder on silly matters such as that. This place had always been odd, hence why he fit in despite being one of the least eccentric being around. [ Zhangzi ] He didn't say it yet, but he doubted they had much mobility across the circus grounds, unless someone had the strength to carry them or pull their tank around. Zhangzi surprisingly wasn't in the mood to voice the cruelty of the world, he didn't see what he could gain from doing so at the moment. Zhangzi lifted his arm towards the mermaid's face, allowing the snake a path towards them. "Snake." He replied, although he was joking it was difficult to tell by the way he held a smirk. The snake coiled up his arm, flicking its tongue to investigate the being it was being shown to. |

"You like her? This is Eira. Snow, or frost, depending on how you look at it. A sweet girl but lacks direction. Would need a partner if I was to bring her into my show, which is why she's remained with the cart horses." The trick rider held a small cube out to Sofia, letting her choose whether to feed the horse or not. (Ilia - 20 - aerialist, prefers silks but is very flexible with her equipment - she/her - has an uncanny ability to influence the air. left the area vague so she could be in a smaller tent or the bigtop!) Meanwhile, Ilia was slowly swinging, the last notes of a song playing from the recorder on the ground. A silk wrapped around her foot kept her from falling to the ground but let her spin without complications. The song ended and a new one started up, leading the aerialist to slowly right herself, folding the silks to make an almost perch. Unstable but good enough for a small break. She let out a sigh and once again, unravelled the silks. This time, she wrapped her hand in it and unravelled her foot, letting herself touch the floor before letting go. The song stopped, cut off with a small burst of static as Ilia shut it down, moving it away from the stage. Wouldn't do to forget and break it when the show started. |

Their smile brightened immensely when he lifted the snake up. She reached her hand out, holding it slightly in front of the snakes face so that it wouldnt be upset that a stranger was touching it if the snake charmer let her. They laughed at what he said the name was, he didnt seem like the kind of person that would name a creature the exact name of its species. She lowered her voice, cooing to the snake. "Hello darling... oh, you're so pretty.." |

"Depsite the pretty looks, they still bite." Zhangzi warned. It was ironic for him to say such a thing, considering his own looks and cruel nature that he restricted. He pulled his arm back closer to his body, the black snake turning its attention onto the man holding it, flicking its tongue at one of the long dark strands of hair that cascaded down his figure. "What's your name? I've been hearing you splashing about for awhile now." Zhangzi asked. |

"That's something we have in common." They said, smiling and showing off their sharper than normal teeth. "Hm? My name? Oh! Its Morwenna." She answered, reaching her hand out for a handshake. "What's yours? I like listening to you when you do your snake charming, it's very soothing." She said, chuckling slightly. |

Astrid bent themself backwards, pushing their upper body between their legs. They held their legs to stay in the position before letting go and righting themselves again, doing a few more exercises before noticing that Ilia was done with her practice. "You ready for the show?" They asked, smiling. They stretched, their back cracking loudly. "Oh, yeahh." They whispered slightly before standing up straight again and looking at Ilia. "I wonder if it'll be a big crowd?" Astrid, rocked back on their heels in excitement. "Ohh! This is gonna be so fun!!" |

Letting out a sigh the aerialist shook out her arms, moving towards her silks again. She knew her routines, she knew how Astrid and the shows ran but still, there was always a glimmer of nervousness, curled beneath her ribcage. Swishing the silk like a cape over herself Ilia smiled slightly, leaning on her equipment as it swayed slowly. "Maybe we can go and get something sweet after this. I want... donuts." Tilting her head she looked over at Astrid. "What would you want?" |

They sat down, smiling softly at Ilia. "Hm? Oh, hmmmmm. I could go for some donuts!" They replied, their smile brightening. "Some glazed donuts would really hit the spot right now. So good." Astrid laughed when Ilia swished the silk like a Cape, "you a superhero now? I wonder what your superhero name would be...." They immediately went into deep thought muttering to themselves. |

Ilia's smile dipped at the corners as she avoided a laugh, not wanting to distract the contortionist from their thinking. Astrid was so quick to dive into their thoughts. Looping the silk around she made a small seat, just enough to hold her up as she waited for Astrid to come to a decision, swinging back and forth as she waited. The crowd grew louder outside but they had things around there, the sideshows, the rides, food. Plus, the ringmaster may need to come around. She didn't know whether they'd be alone for this just yet or if Sofia would introduce them before moving onto other acts. |
