"Or we let her roam free... Or maybe on a leash?", Louis suggested. If anyone was able to control that snake, it was Josiah, he always loved them and it was kind of on the nose. Well he used them in his performance often enough, so it was good the animals trusted him. They were able to sneak out the fence though anf that was probably a bad thing. Louis looked up again, knowing fully well that Josiah had so manx questions for him, but he couldn't answer any of them. What happened? Why was Louis so different? Was he angry? Why didn't he talk to his best friend? How was he? Did it hurt? Louis could imagine many more questions his friend probably had, but Louis didn't even allow him to voice them. He could see that it gnawed on him though. "Good.", he simply commented his friends decision to listen to him, whether it was because he saw reason, or because he wanted to male Louis happy didn't matter. Louis didn't even connect this to the big fire so much and he wasn't scared of flames either, that would have been a problem in general.
"You shouldn't perform injured and the kids... None of them has the discipline to get to your level, besides, it takes too long to earn a profit..." Louis knew the ringmaster and that he could be incredibly impatient. It took years for someone to train their flecibility like needed and he didn't give them years. Maybe if they perfected something else first... Either way, Josiah was incredibly forthcoming today and Louis nodded. "Don't worry about it, it's not like I have to supervise them all the time, there are other people teaching them as well..." But the new kid probably needed more attention, either way, they wouldn't ttain until this late. Tomorrow and the day after there'd be more shows so their time was limited anyway, then they travelled on and then they'd have some more time to train. Then there'd be another show, this continued year after year. "I will.", he answered regarding the gloves and eventually let himself fall on his back. "There was nothing left but this, but it's fine, I'm not hungry.", he answered while spotting a mark on the ceiling the two of them left years ago.
