Ruth was the only one there for now and she seemed pretty surprised to see Louis walk up to their little camp. He offered him a seat anyway and so he got down across from her on a box that functioned as a stool. There wasn't much talking until Roy arrived, but Louis was very busy with his thoughts anyway. He sat there with his arms on his knees, staring at the ground and wiggling his leg. There was too much that went on today. Leila, Lucas, Josiah, Cornelia... even the fact that he sat here now.…

This worked out better than Louis had imagined. Roy was almost happy to help and still Louis felt like he just stabbed Josiah in the back. In a way, he did. Louis stayed quiet, he let Roy do his thing, talk do whatever it took to get Josiah out of here. He felt incredibly bad, but he didn't try to show it and eventually Roy got Josiah to relent. Civilly as well, which was a good thing. "Yeah...", he just mumbled, walking closer to Lucas, just in case he wanted to run. He put a hand on his should…

Josiah seemed taken aback by Louis relenting, but he came outside anyway. Louis closed the door behind them and was faced by his so called friend. Yes Louis didn't have ti together today, how could he? But he couldn't tell Josiah anything either and he wouldn't try to. No excuses, he was the bad guy, fine. "As I said, I didn't ask what he wants.", he simply responded. There was not way he would let Josiah try and talk to the ringmaster. He'd make it worse for himself and others. Hell, Louis didn…

Josiah wouldn't let up, Louis knew it, but he had no time for this and it was unnecessary to fight in front of everyone like this. "And why is this my fault when I'm being told to do that, huh? Why do you always blame me for doing what I am asked to do, for having to train hard, for moving to another city, for having to perform?!" This wasn't even meant specifically for Josiah. Louis had enough of this, enough of being blamed for every inconvenience, for every ill liked decision he didn't even m…

Louis wasn't in the mood to fight, or even talk. He was exhausted, he felt guilty and he was worried about what he'd cause next by trying to be nice and trying to accommodate to everyones needs. Maybe Roy had been right, maybe he should just drop the act, as he called it, and demand things more often. What the ringmaster wished, he got. Louis wasn't sure why he had to be the one to do this, but there was no arguing with this man, never. He asked for Lucas life and this was what became of it. Ins…

Some of the children cried probably because of what they saw, some because the others cried. Some were just confused and sat there anxious and afraid because they didn't know what was going on. Once in the trailer a bunch of them ambushed Josiah, but Lucy couldn't get herself to tell them to be careful right now. Some others cuddled up with Lucy who sat on the floor by now. They huddled around her and he put her arms around as many as she could. "I-Is Leila going to be alright...?", one of them …

Louis felt a weight on his shoulder, then in his hand. As he looked down he saw one of Roys knives. What? No, he couldn't do that and while he asked himself why it was his responsibility in the first place, he reminded himself in the same thought that he'd been the one insisting on Lucas staying. He should have known it wouldn't be that easy and he should have known not to question the ringmaster. He could have just told Louis no, but instead he was taught a lesson. Not only was the the reason J…

Arthur sat on the floor with a straight back and looked at Josiah. "The others...? I... a little bit, but... I also haven't talked to any of them..." So he didn't want to assume they were bad people. They wouldn't be here if they were, right? He listened to Josiah and nodded. Train hard, but not too hard, he could manage that hopefully and maybe the other children could help. Some of them could do flips and other cool tricks, they could surely teach him how to do a handstand. "O-Okay. I will try…

"Oh! I... I didn't mean to suggest that!", Arthur quickly answered. Josiah was very nice, he wouldn't do anything weird. "I think the others are just sad maybe, that people leave." Louis seemed alright and Josiah trusted him, but that didn't seem to be enough for the others. Well Arthur wasn't one to convince others of his opinions and in the end these were just stories and a lot of them had fun sitting in a circle and telling spooky stories in the dark. "Yeah... I... I don't think they are scar…

"Acid?" That didn't sound like a normal topic to Arthur, but he already learned that everybody here was very different to anybody else that lived somewhere else. "Mh... they say that he snatches kids and then they vanish. Not just... go home or somewhere else I guess." Arthur wasn't here for long enough to judge any of this. Louis didn't seem too bad, albeit strict. What would he even do with the children? Eat them? That didn't make much sense to him. "The other tell plenty of stories... about s…

"Research notes?", Arthur asked interested. Not that he wanted to be nosy, but he wanted to know. What could he read research on? Arthur didn't really mind what contents the books he read had, if he read books at all. It was just a nice way to pass the time. He didn't have that much time here, he was going to have to work and train, but still. When he bended around he could probably also read a book in the meantime. When he was asked why Louis was scary Arthut thought about it for a bit. Well he…

Arthur was inclined to believe Josiah, why wouldn't he? So he just nodded in agreement. "Hm okay... are you sure I can read all the books? I-I'm fine if you tell me wh-which one I can take." Sometimes things weren't for children to touch and Arthur knew that, so he rather asked than take the wrong thing he would lose the privilege of coming here for. He wasn't picky either, any book was fine, he just liked reading and spending time alone, but alone just sitting around was no good. "Th-they all w…

"Okay... but I don't want you to hurt.", Arthur made sure. Josiah knew best though and even hurt he could probably do much more than Arthur was able to do. He knew nothing in here and he was scared of so many things, hopefully Josiahs act wasn't scary, though he was scared of crowds too. It was probably not high up though, so that was good and hopefully also away from the bigger animals. He was fine with a cat or a puppy, but anything else? They could eat him! "Come... here...?", he asked confus…

Arthur did all Louis tasked him with and now he stood there a bit aimlessly. Josiah told him he could sit, so he sat down on a chair, hands folded in his lap and back straightened out. He liked it here, more than out there, it wasn't as loud and chaotic. Sure Josiahs trailer in itself was chaotic, but his things didn't move around. Arthur also didn't enjoy being alone, being around one nice person was just right. "O-okay.", he nodded at Josiah. Louis always seemed busy, so Arthur didn't want to …

Arthur stood there for a while but he waited patiently. he had nothing else to do and this was important and a task he was given by Louis, who didn't seem to think too highly of him anyway. He was determined to do this right so he would wait as long as he needed to. The door opened eventually after a while and at first Josiah looked displeased, but his face softened up fairly quickly. He was welcomed in so he nodded shyly and came inside, closing the door behind him and standing there, not sure …

That was Louis hope, that they'd just got used to him and wouldn't even notice or acknwoledge his presence. He didn't want to be noticed by anybody. Neither group seemed very appealing to him, but being left alone seemed difficult lately. Whatever the right mindset was, Louis didn't want to know or be in. He couldn't be like them, hapiness wasn't part of him anymore, or at the very least closed off to another part of him he couldn't project at will. That him was probably not in the right mindset…

Yes, wasn't it funny that Louis needed to get away from the others and the only place he could go to was here? They were easily entertained, weren't they? And Louis was a clown, here to entertain, he might as well not fight his role. How fitting a job he had, but there was a difference there. On stage he was charming, witty and funny, but here he was the embodiment of a tragedy and that was sometimes more entertaining anyway. "I honestly hoped you'd be less loud...", Louis huffed, but his presen…

While Louis usually just stayed quiet amongst the others, almost as if he was just shy sometimes unless spoken to, here he behaved differently. His expression was darker than usual, as if he had to match the air around him. Like a cat making its fur all fuzzy to appear bigger he tried to stay firm, especially with all of them around him. He didn't come here to chat, he just wanted to trod after them, maybe slip into their midst if he heard some footsteps approaching him. He didn't need anyone el…

Of course they wouldn't just silently acknowledge Louis being around them, but at least they didn't try to be his friend or fake anything and he didn't have to hide either. Even if they picked on him for being not quite like them, even if they knew more than anyone else what Louis tried to do for the others day in and out and judged him for it, at least they knew who he was. There were some mysteries still. Why was he only half like them? Why was he here in the first place? Why did the ringmaste…

Leila was getting on Louis nerves and he grid his teeth. "I don't want him to crawl back to me.", he let out. Why did everybody expect him to be Josiahs best friend? He didn't want to be close to him, Josiah was better off without him and they lived in two completely different worlds, yet everybody tried pushing Louis towards Josiah for no other reason than the fact that they were friends at some point years ago and if he didn't accommodate to Josiah, when he didn't talk him up or give him arbit…
