"Maybe later we could watch the stars after everything has calmed down" Shionick remembered her dad used to call her Mi Luna or My Moon in english

Jinx looked over at her. "Yeah, maybe. I should show you to your tent."

"Good idea" Shionick looked around at the bustling circus "it's getting crowded"

Jinx smiled, and led her into the maze of tents again.

Shionick smiled becoming familiar with the layout of the circus

Jinx led her to a selection of tents set apart from the rest. "These are where we sleep. You'll share with one to three others."

"Oh that's cool i used to share a room with my sister" Shionick thought of her sister, Brie, who had been an amazing singer and artist

Jinx nodded. "I see." he didn't ask about the sister. It wasn't his business to pry in her life and past.

(don't worry no depressing story for that she just moved away)
Shionick shuffled her feet as she stood thinking of what to say

(ohh okay good lol)

Jinx knocked on the entrance to a tent.
It was opened by a short girl, with lithe, muscled limbs and tattoo sleeves on her arms. "Whaddaya want, Jinx?" she demanded.

Shionick made a small eep like noise at how demanding the women was then made a waving motion as she shifted the panda she was holding

The girl's eyes flicked to Kion, then back to Jinx.
"This is Shionick. She's new. She'll be staying in your tent." Jinx replied calmly. "Kion, this is Paige."
Paige held out her hand to Kion. "Nice to meet 'cha." she said.

Shionick shook Paige's hand with the hand she had freed up "h-hi. I-uh…I like your tattoos"

Paige's grip was strong, and she squeezed Shionick's hand for a moment, then let go. She winked. "Thanks. If you want some, I can help set you up." she replied with a grin.
Jinx stepped back.

Shionick smiled “I’ve been planning to get a tattoo but I don’t know” then she looked at Jinx and gave him a slight hug “thanks for showing me around see you later?”

Jinx, startled, hugged her back. "Ah… you're welcome." He replied. "Yeah, sure."
Paige grinned as she watched them.

"I-uh i should g-get inside to…um…settle in" Shionick had never been so embarrassed or red she knew she must have been really red so she pulled the hood of her bloody hoodie on no minding the scent of copper

Jinx nodded, and left.
Paige opened the tent flap wider. She was wearing a loose tank top and shorts, despite the evening chill. "Come on in." she said with a grin.

"you saw all of that didn't you" Shionick had somehow managed to get her voice to work but only to say that

Paige grinned. "Mhm. Jinx isn't bad. Little bitova strange kid, but not bad." she replied, gesturing to Shionick to get inside.

When Shionick got inside she sighed and stuffed her face into the giant panda when she spoke her voice came out muffled “I think I might like him”

Paige laughed, sitting down on a cot. "Ah. Not a bad choice for a crush." she replied.

Shionick didn't want to move from where she was but she sat down on the floor of the tent keeping the panda close thinking of a topic change "How long have you been working here?"

Paige sighed. "A very long time."

"Oh I just started today" Shionick was happy they had jumped topics "What is your favorite thing here?"
