Wila changed quickly into her outfit and started to set the silk curtains along with the rest of the Aireal artists. "Alright ladies and gents, time to blow them away. Hopefully this time they'll stay away."

Tam stood prim and ready, already in position. His voice was warm and he was ready to go through the moves again.
"Good luck guys. Don't get hurt," he reminded the girls grandly.
Naomi perfected the hairstyles and picked away loose threads, an excited grin on her face. "This is going to be great!"
Suddenly Harrow's voice sounded from the other side of the curtain.
"Welcome, children and adults alike," he started dramatically, "to Heir's Circus!"
Deafening applause reached the back room.

"Tonight, I proudly presented my four most prized performers! Is everyone ready?" he playfully questioned the audience. A roaring echo of "yes"es. He laughed and went on. "Without further ado, ENJOY THE SHOW!"
And the curtains flew up.

@Fantasy-Illy!

When the curtain went up Beaux was in a one handed handstand. Though small and skinny, it took a lot of muscle to do some of the things she does. Then she moved on to other tricks, ignoring the pain in her stomach.

Tam vaulted himself onto the platforms until he'd gotten to the edge of the rope. He waited for his queue, hidden in the shadows, one foot keeping the rope still.

@Fantasy-Illy!

Beaux was done with her skit and went backstage. With all her being she hoped she wouldn't run into Harrow or Naomi. She didn't have the patience to deal with them right now. Sitting down she checked on her bruise. "Not too bad."

Beaux walked off stage, and Tam's act started. The lights transferred to the top of the tent, to the ropes.
Tam cartwheeled onto the first rope, perfectly executing his series of movements. He jumped down from platform to platform, landing squarely on the floor of the tent.
Aza 's turn.

@ember-chan-will-never-forget-you

Aza moved to the center of the stage, and raised her hands. Water materialized in one of them, fire flickered to life in the other. Moving them in different patterns, she controlled the two elements. Then, to close the performance, she brought her hands together, making the water evaporate in a cloud of steam. The fire was doused and went out.

(hi sorry, I've been reading along.)
As Aza finished her act, the tent dimmed and singular white silk curtain appeared from the ceiling. Wila walked out silently and started to wrap herself in the silk. She nodded once and was pulled up. Once she reached near the top she started swinging back and forth, trailing the silk behind her. At the point where she had enough momentum, she dropped from her hight on the silk to be left dangling by one hand at the bottom. She hung upside-down until the silk came to an easy stop in the center of the arena where she dropped to the ground in one fluid movement, bowed and left the stage.

The show ended to thunderous clapping and screaming from the audience. All four performers sat backstage, winding down from the show. A few minutes after Wila got off stage, Harrow entered the room where they all sat.
"How are you all feeling?" he asked, disinterested.

@Fantasy-Illy!

Beaux decided not to answer. It would be better if she didn't say how she was feeling, all she wanted was to go to her room and sleep or read a book, anything but this. She sighed trying to keep it quiet.

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Harrow's hard gaze went to Wila and he stared her down. "Understood." He paused. "You'll all go to your rooms, now, and dinner will be brought to you. Questions?" he asked coolly.

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Harrow shook his face free of water. "That girl," he spat. "Everyone, to your rooms."
Tam, shrugging off the vest of his uniform, obeyed and followed Aza out the door. He caught up to her at a jog. "Was isolation okay?" he asked her cautiously.
