To be part of the troupe was to suffer for it and ones status in it, Blair was aware of that from the very start - often times, he’d made mistakes and promises that, in the end, he hadn’t managed to keep, but suffering built character and after all these years, he knew himself and his surroundings, through and through. All of them waned and waxed about different things, many of which were the same in the end - their never-ending yowling and moaning, the complaints about things that could be bett…

With Josiah off his case, Blair relaxed immediately - how Louis could endure being close to him, or having him in his immediate proximity for so long, he didn‘t understand, but that wasn‘t his place to judge and worse yet, if he got involved he‘d likely never find his way out of that kind of relationship. Therefore, he decided to abstain and walk the metaphorical mile to the backstage with Louis, so he could fix him up - there was little he could, would and should do by himself, not when someone…

Josiah would likely be happy if Louis went with him and the two of them could spend an afternoon together, surely, but Louis was such a busybody that something like that wouldn't happen now, or in a million years, not when they were setting up for tonight, which was creeping ever closer, now that they were actually occupied with work. "Are you sure?", Jo asked, sheepishly and somewhat timid, sounding as concerned as he'd always had. What was it that made this man work the way he did, and why, on…

Getting ahold of people was easier said than done - it wasn’t just Louis that didn’t trust him, not in the slightest. Whenever Blair thought he could get past his awkwardness and strike up a worthwhile conversation, he found that everyone else was blabbering among themselves and the moment he raised his voice, they regarded him rather cold, or simply ignored him, like a ghost - few of them were actually willing to let him get as far as to mention Louis’ ailment, and the fact that he was in a tim…

"You could have tried, probably. Not sure if you'd have managed to keep it a secret, though.", he admitted to Louis' face, well aware that they both had their own demons to deal with and that, in hindsight, teaming up might prove to be a bit of a pain in the ass. Regardless of the outcome however, Blair felt inclined to help and also find the person that was to blame for what had transpired right here - it wasn't him, he hadn't said a peep, and suddenly, all of those people behaved quite odd, if…

Name: Blair Age: 24 years old Height: 186cm Background: Honestly, who knows? Trivia: - Blair, despite the constant scowl on his face and his height, hardly gets noticed by anyone or stands out in a crowd; frankly, he blends in with them more than anything else. - While many people in the circus are good at many things, Blair is more of a custodian than a performer - he cleans up after everyone when nobody is looking and often has duties like cooking or laundry foisted upon him by "that" side of …

"I asked them, nobody knows who it came from anymore, they all just ... kinda knew, somehow. I don't think it'll fall back on him, and if it does, I'm pretty sure he didn't start spreading the word himself." Which meant that someone else would be thrown under the bridge for him to make a swift escape from the situation and claim ignorance, as best he could. Roy was like this, always in the need to save his own skin, for no reason at all, but Blair gave up trying to understand the bastard a while…

"Oh, I don't think he pushed you, or tried to enfeeble you, you misunderstand. I have a hunch he ... told some people what happened to you, is what I mean.", Blair explained himself. Therefore, this caused quite the commotion early in the morning and dragged everyone to Louis' trailer, aside from a handful that seemed to be preoccupied with himself. "I'll try to figure out if he did anything while everyone was distracted." It seemed unlikely, and he wasn't going to damage any of the equipment in…

Their looks were stony, but the silence itself seemed uncanny enough. No matter how he put it, Blair felt at fault for something that he didn't even do - someone had told everyone, that was his best guess, but that would mean that somebody had figured out something had happened to Louis in the first place and that, in turn, raised even more questions. Now his own head hurt, for no reason at all, and Louis looked worse for wear at the commotion in front of his trailer, this early. Soon after he s…

All of it spiraled out of control, somehow. Blair hadn’t said a peep to anyone, not even Roy, and somehow yet, someone had likely found the rust-colored blood in the supply trailer at some point between yesterday night and today - there were plenty of people who could’ve been it, and yet, there were less of them than Blair could think of, but one thing was for sure: They all eyed each other with suspicion for a moment and then acted like Louis’ injury was a widely known malady that they all, sim…

"I know.", Blair told him with a pained smile, one that was genuine enough - he felt bad for Louis, for this man that only wanted to do the right thing and as thanks was hurt by the world itself, it seemed. "You should start caring about yourself, too. It seems harsh, and I don't mean for you to prioritize yourself if you don't want to, but there's no need to hurt yourself. I know that ... that's a problem, overall, the children I mean, but don't give up yet. I'm aware that things happened the p…

"No need to be like that.", he snorted, knowing that Lucy meant it in earnest. This was, well, something was it not? There were very many things they could argue about in that regard, but Josiah knew that he would always be the one that pulled the short end of the stick in things that required him to use his brain, at least at times. "That ... should count for something, if not for anything out there, at least to you, and me.", Josiah admitted eventually, relenting that he was not worthy of all …

"Those are all things I'm naturally good at, though!" No hard effort required, especially not on the height. Lucy wasn't just cute or beautiful, she was somewhat weird tonight, something that he kept to himself, as it would undoubtedly sour the mood between them right now, unsure what it was in the first place. What were they? Jo didn't know, he really couldn't figure it out. "They did, but I guess they likely used some dried color pigments, which would take forever to get my hands on if I don't…

"Never. If I get compliments, I want to earn them, not hope to get them thrown at me randomly." Lucy was too nice to him - if Louis praised him, he'd have to do something for that first and to Jo, that was how it was supposed to be, but maybe opinions differed ever so slightly from person to person on what was acceptable or not. "I'll think about it", he chuckled. "But it'd probably taste disgusting, tho, spinach and corn are both vegetables." Salted spinach just sounded less exciting, as a flav…

“Am I now? I just think you flatter me a little too much, that’s all.” Josiah knew he wasn’t the greatest, the tallest, the strongest or the most talented out of the bunch of them, but he could take compliments, at least at times. “Just because of that? That’s unfair.” Which would mean Louis was naturally short, then? Thinking about it made Jo’s head spin. Soon enough, he discarded the thought altogether and put a pin in it, vowing to return to it at a later date when he had actually given it a …

"Now you're just flattering me, but I'm glad you like my height, at the very least.", Josiah responded in earnest, still smiling all the same. Truly, he wanted nothing more than to be liked for what he was and also be liked by himself for what he could do, which in his opinion, often was very little, even if that wasn't right to begin with. "I missed out on a bunch, so of course I have to reclaim what's mine eventually. Well, I did, I'm agreeably sized, I'd argue." Not small or tall, just around…

"And careful planning, which a ten year old isn't exactly capable of.", Josiah reminded her - he was right. "True that, but I'm not even that tall to begin with." There were other people that were taller than him, both part of their so-called family and in their audience and Josiah, as he was, was average at best. Not like Louis was much different, which was a sigh of relief to him and his childish mind. "It was a whole chicken? Was I starved or something?", he asked with a giggle, knowing that,…

"That was a long time ago, and a pretty bad idea in hindsight.", he admitted with a smile in both his voice and on his face. To be that staunch an opinionated at such a young age didn't help him prosper at times, not at all; he butted heads with older residents of the circus more often than not, especially when he didn't eat what was served or lamented the death of an animal that none of them knew to begin with, earning him the ire of those that either didn't understand or refused to. Louis, tho…

Today’s dinner wasn’t around for much longer after that - Josiah made quick work of his plate and Lucy, likewise, seemed to want to get it out of the way. Fine with him, too. “Sometimes it rags on, I know. I’d rather have some more fruit or vegetables at times.”, he agreed quickly. Food was good, in any form - like machines needed oil to keep running, the needed food, or else they’d keel over eventually, turning into fine dust as they withered away silently and painfully, but in the end, they al…

Lucy was smart, she was endearing and Josiah knew that she was loving, too - all in all, those had been good qualities and they were sure to make boys and men swoon about her, he figured before long, yet, instead of working her charm on them, she seemingly rather spent time with him, fooling about and being silly. To claim he didn’t need it, or want her around, would be a half-baked lie as well - he enjoyed himself like this, for the time being at the very least and he knew that in her presence,…
