Rei looked at Silk through now widened eyes. Take so much out of her? There isn't any reason for her to do it at all… He thought, sitting up fully. "You'd be happy to? What about Alice?" Rei asked, a look of slight concern now on his face.
Cyrus sighs. He often felt like an outsider, but that was his fault. He had trust issues ever since he could remember. Which wasn't that long ago.
“Darling..” Arthur says, looking up at him from his hoop
Silk rolled her eyes. “The new chick? She’s clearly being sucked up by Karma. She’ll get the same stupid groove that Karma’s adopted. It’s quite sad, but it’s how humans think, I suppose.”
He looks up. "Ah. Yes, Arthur?" He places a hand on his hip, offering a smile.
He climbs up on the tight rope and to him, “I’m very glad that I got stuck in this hellhole with you, dearest”
"Hm," Rei put his elbows back on the ground, ignoring the larger bits of hard dirt that were on the ground. "I don't know, I'll just see how she turns out. I don't think she'll follow behind Karma that closely." He said, talking a bit more slowly than he had been. By now, he was struggling to keep his eyes open. I hope I get over this by the time I have to go up there.
Cyrus smiles and nods. "Me too, Arthur. It means a lot to me." He smiles and takes Arthur's hand, squeezing it gently.
Silk sighed and flicked his cheek. “We’d better get back to practicing. Good luck at the show tonight.” She sauntered back over to her pole, smirking at him, as if asking what he saw before bending back around her pole.
He grabs both of his hands and pulls him close to his chest, lightly kissing his cheek.
She chuckled. "That's good."
Rei nodded in agreement before standing up. He quickly climbed the ladder that led up to the rope and looked at it through narrowed eyes. Maybe I could do flips across it or something? He thought, crouching on the edge of the platform. He stood up, and dusted himself off, removing the dust that had collected on his pants while he was sitting on the ground. Leaning forward, Rei carried himself a few feet onto the rope with his hands before standing upright and on his feet. I'm gonna have to ask her what she really thinks of the Mistress at some point. Why should she care about that nasty woman being worn out anyway?
The pulled her deep purple hair out of its braid and let it fall down her back. It went just past her shoulder blades and in the light, it looked black. "Ahhh, much better."
Cyrus starts, but smiles gently. "Thank you, love." He leaves a kiss on the corner of Arthur's lips.
The pulled her deep purple hair out of its braid and let it fall down her back. It went just past her shoulder blades and in the light, it looked black. "Ahhh, much better."
"So, I'm guessing you don't like having your hair in a braid?" She asked, glancing at her in awe for a second or two. She's so pretty.
"It's not that I don't like it, it just gets annoying after a while." She grabbed a small comb off of the vanity and started combing through her hair, pulling out the knots that had been bugging her all morning.
"I'll admit it, it does get annoying after a while." She looked around awkwardly, not sure what to do.
She looked at Alice in the mirror, smiling lightly. "So Miss Wonderland, how's the circus so far?"
Cyrus starts, but smiles gently. "Thank you, love." He leaves a kiss on the corner of Arthur's lips.
“Any time” he laughs slightly, “it’s more for me than it is for you” he kisses on the edge of his jawbone and then turns away
She looked at Alice in the mirror, smiling lightly. "So Miss Wonderland, how's the circus so far?"
"My last name is Robinson and the circus is okay so far." She answered, glancing at Karma in the mirror.
She chuckled. "I know. I meant like the character. God, I'm such a nerd."
Cyrus smiles faintly. "Take care love. I know you'll be amazing." He says quietly.
"I know and if anyone's a nerd, it might as well be me." She said with a slight laugh.
She smiled, turning to actually look at Alice. "Is that so? Looks like I've got some competition." She chuckled. God, she's really cute.
"I guess I do have some competition." She chuckled, looking at Karma with a smile on her face.
"Bring it on." She challenged teasingly. She sat down next to Alice, still combing through her hair.
