Hearing Cire speak bu him Jatan couldn't help but grin. "Oh Cherie I have missed you!" His grin fell a little as he continued. "I know I know..I didn't help things either. I got all protective and she shoved it back in my face, I deserved it. She worries me Cire, she wont tell anyone when something is wrong. Zala needs someone that's just hers that will be around all the time. Maybe a pet? What do you think Cire? But yes I know I need to leave her alone for some quite time." He looked up at her and smiled again. "I've been good, traveling a lot and tracking down hunters. Gotta love my job! How have you been my friend and how long have you been around?" Like him Cire traveled a lot and left the Circus at times. Only to come back later. The two of them understood each other in the regard. When a women shouted out Zalia's brother he looked over to her and caught the bag she threw at him. With wide eyes he watched her climb up the trampolines. She was beautiful and he had never seen her before. "Cire who is that?" He asked softly.

When Cas said he would take all three Azra's mouth dropped open. Cire was going to have a joyful fit when she got her presents. Heck Azra would pee her self with glee. Grabbing the bag for her side she grabbed out the money he needed and tossed it to Jom Jom. Catching all the money Jom Jom set it by the other and counted it all. "Alright you have yourself two foxes and a white tiger cub." Grinning he looked over to Azra. "Do bring him back again won't you? I will sell to him anytime he needs something." Laughing Azra jumped down from the counter. "Of course I will Jommy Joms. Oh Circ will be moving soon, I'll send you the letter when we land." Turning to Casimir she explained. "Whenever we move I send Jom a magic letter and he follows soon after. Can't stay in one place to often now can we!" She grabbed up the bag and went to give Jom a hug. He picked her up once more and gave her a squeeze. Turning on Casimir he glared at him. "Now I like you and all but if I hear you uttered a peep about where you got those to anyone but Az or Chenol I will have you for supper." Then he smiled and patted Cas on the back. "Come back anytime if you need something else. We sell more than creatures." Grinning Azra grabbed the cage of one of the foxes and started forward. "Grab the other two and then will be off."

''I'm too interesting and fun not to be missed~ No worries Jatan, I missed you too.'' The woman grinned, sitting next to the male.
''Hmm, protective in a good way or protective in an overprotective brotherly 'you cant take care of yourself because I am the big brother here?' way right after you came back? You know, involving yourself with other's business when you leave all the time isn't that smart. Well, it's not smart right off the bat.'' Cire said, ending her mini speech with a sigh, a smile on her face, giving him a small knock on his head with her knuckle. ''Yes, a pet. A companion to be loyal to her forever in times you cannot, nor can I. Who knows, I might find that one dear ritual in one of my magic books... So she can make that pet her totally own, and actually summon it, talk with it through telepathy... A familiar, was the name.'' She whispered, nodding. ''Very very very smart Jatan, you're growing up. You're still becoming smarter after 3000 years of travelling. And indeed, your job is a most terrific one.'' She said, playing with fire a little, a broad smile on her face. ''Hmm, I think I've been here for 10 years with a month or two break each year... You know how hard some ingredients are to come by.
I've been doing well, taking care of the animals and of everyone here as far as I can. You know, when other humans are around I can't be in this form prancing around all high and mighty. Sadly enough yesterday I was too slow to prevent everything from happening. For which I still feel stupid.'' She said, scratching herself behind the ears from embarassment and just because she could. When he asked, Cire tilted her head. ''Who? There are 4 trampolines there. You know, I'm blind so I can't see who you're looking at. Wait... You know the queadruple, so you must mean our dear new elvin. Her name is Ahanna, she's specialized in throwing stuff coated with a sleeping poison she made herself. Very very well with herbs, and I believe I promised that I would borrow her a book of mine. A kind and smart fast witted person, had a chat with her yesterday. You know, she noticed I was 'blind' within the week she's been here. A night elf, as you can see. She has a pegasus, which I believe is that presence over there.'' Cire said, pointing from the elf over to Day. The fox had recognized the aura of the creature, and already knew most pegasi had a human form.

Chenol had seen Scarlett come in and then had saw her fall. Running over to her she stopped by her side. "Hey are you ok? That was a bad fall," she frowned at her friend and looked to the arm she was cradling. "Is there anything you want to talk about?" She asked her softly. Chenol might not talk a lot but she was an amazing listener.

Sighing heavily Jatan rested his head in one of his hands after Cire gave him a knock on the head. "I asked her what she was thinking when she allowed the hunters to stay. I know! I should have kept my mouth shut. But I've seen the worst of these hunters and I don't trust any of them." Smiling he sat up straight. "That will be perfect for her. I think she is going to love it." Laughing he shook his head. "Yeah I guess I am but I still have loads of growing up to do. Ten years now? Wow Cire that's so much longer than I have ever done. I'm glad you've been here for her. I'm staying now, don't know how long yet but it will be for a long time. I've messed up in the past I know." He couldn't help but look over to Ahanna when Cire gave him her name. "You may be blind my friend but you see everything!" He joked with a laugh, it was true though. The women knew everything! "I have to say she is beautiful. Pegasus eh? I've met a few of them on my travels, nice creatures."

Casimir smiled at Jom"I won't tell anyone, that I can promise. They wouldn't believe me if I did." Grabbing the two other cages carefully he followed Azra outside and back to the car. Placing the animals inside, he sat in the back seat to make sure they wouldn't fall or get hurt during their travels. "So tell me Azra, how has the circus life been? Do you think maybe... I could ever be accepted by everyone else?" For once in his life, Casimir wanted to be seen as someone good. He wanted the others at the circus to regard him as a friend. He wasn't quite sure anymore what his feelings were for Cire, because it wasn't just her he was trying to please anymore, it was everyone.

When Ahanna threw the bag up it startled Melony so much that she stumbled onto the trampolines. She didn't have a choice, instinctively she rolled forward so she wouldn't hurt herself. The young woman ended up bumping into the man Cire was talking to quite abruptly. "I'm so sorry! My clumsiness surprises even me sometimes... My name is Melony and who are you?" She looked at him curiously as she righted herself. She'd been leaning on him in order not to fall. Struggling not to look down, Melony wasn't quite sure why she was even on the trampolines in the first place.

''I see. I understand but still, you should have zipped up that mouth of yours.'' Cire answered, immediately thinking about what to do with Casimir. Experience says best, can I trust him? Impossible, wouldn't that be betrayal? And if I didn't, wouldn't that betray his trust? Troublesome.... If possible her ears had lowered a million feet down the earth along with her pride and mighty 5 tails. Not that she let that show though. She turned her attention to the fall she felt, tilting her head slightly. If anything happens, sure enough they would have someone with better healing abilities than herself.
''Yup, a familiar would be great for Zalia, but we shouldn't push her into it. Headaches make people grumpy and sensitive.'' She said, a broad smile with a finger locking it. As he spoke she rolled her eyes. ''I know I know. Then again, this lovely circus has been the most of a home for me after my birthplace. And please, your mistakes aren't that bad considering you've lived 3000 years to make them. Humans would have screwed up so way more than you did~'' She brushed a hand through her hair, following his look. ''Hmm, if only. It's sad that I only know silhouettes, can't even tell whether or not you have green eyes right now. Odd that I hear that a lot though... Maybe I'm psychic. And indeed, as far as I could tell when I was sitting next to her, she was very beautifull. Don't be too pushy with her Jatan, Ahanna is smart. Very smart. If you confess to her right after you know her, you'll be sure to get dumped and you'll be seen as a dumb guy. You have to rightfully court your way into her heart if you're interested.'' A smile played her lips, she was proud of Ahanna for some reason. Maybe she just liked the fact the girl seemed to actually use her eyes unlike many. ''Pegasi? Very nice creatures indeed.''

Giving Scarlett a look that said she understood Chenol actually smiled. "My day has been great so far. I got so lost in dance earlier that everything was perfect. Then Azra had to leave and the new guy threw up and Zalia's shoes. I don't think she's doing so good today." She frowned at this hoping that she was ok. "Oh have you even seen the new guys yet? Also Zalia's brother is back his name is Jatan." She couldn't help but feel slightly happy that he was back. Jatan had always been a good friend to her and her sister.

Getting into the car after she covered all the cages up with blankets Azra started the engine. Waving to Teddy she pulled out of the parking lot to head to the bank. "Being at the circus is the best thing that has ever happened to my sister and I. It's an amazing place with tons of family. I really think you could Cas but you'll have to prove yourself. I know Zal will give you a chance after you have done that. Don't worry I already like you and so does Cire. If Cire likes you then Zalia will end up liking you." She turned into the bank's parking lot and shut the engine off. "There you go I'll wait with the little monsters." She said with a grin.

----------

Jatan groaned and looked to his friend. "Yeah I know I should have. I promise to do so now! Psh, Zalia and a headache is not the same as anyone else with one. She's kind of scary not gonna lie." Shuddering he grinned. "That is true, I could have done far worse and I'm thankful for that. Cire I was born in a time where men were actually gentlemen. No worries I'll be sure to do just that." He was about to say something else when a younger women bumped into him from behind. "It's quite alright Melony. My name is Jatan, I'm Zalia's big brother." He had gotten a whiff of her and wanted to growl at her but refrained. Hunters.... he thought to himself. Giving her an easy grin he helped steady her. "It's nice to meet you."

Breathing deeply Casimir tried to stay calm. He was panicking a little at the thought of leaving everything he knew behind, rebelling completely against his whole life. "Azra, this is going to be incredibly difficult for me. It's putting everything I've grown up with aside, and turning by back on my family. Yet I still find myself willing to join the Circus even after thinking all of that. It's like the place has put a spell on me." Quietly he left the car careful not to disturb the animals.

Walking briskly he went to the concrete Bank, and crossed the glass doors with a shrug. The place was nearly empty, all stone and machinery, with smiling clerks. Rolling his eyes Casimir went to one of the bank machines and withdrew money from several of his accounts. He didn't want anyone to know about this withdrawal unless they searched for it very hard. Whistling a little the young man returned to the car and put the money into the bag at Azra's side before climbing into the back seat again.

A blush crept up Melony's face. He looked dangerous, feral really, it should have terrified her but it didn't. "Thank you," mumbled the young woman as she fiddled with her circus ring. Looking up again she tried to think of something else to say. "It's nice to meet you too." A big smile crossed Melony's face, she loved discovering new people. Jatan exuded a certain sense of mystery that made Melony want to know more." I can't really imagine Zalia with an older brother.. She takes care of everyone! stated the young woman to conceal the lull in conversation that had nearly happened. She'd been too intent examining this addition to the circus.

As Casimir got back into the vehicle Azra spoke. "Don't worry Cas I swear you will like it there. I mean it's all about love and family and having fun. There's no fighting, well mostly and no one get's punished. Our training is doing what we love not what someone forces us to do. From what I have heard about the hunters headquarters it's not a loving happy place. And yeah the Circus kind of does that to you. It's hard to walk away." When he was settled she exited the parking lot and started back home.

Studying Melony closely Jatan noticed that she had a circus ring on her finger. Seeing the ring made him relax slightly. If the magic approved of her then she was ok for a hunter. As she talked he couldn't help but get an innocent vibe off of her. But she also had a strength deep inside of her. "Yeah my sister does do that. She's a people person, if she couldn't help people I'm not sure what she would do with herself." He smiled faintly at this. "So I assume you're one of the new people I've heard about?"

Melony nodded. "I just got here yesterday." She had the grace to look down when she went on to say why she had been wandering around the circus. "When I came to see the show, there was no denying that nearly all the performers were supernatural. So I sort of, stuck around to make sure no one was intent on hurting anyone... I feel silly now, but I wanted to make sure. After all, when a crazed vampire has jumped you and a friend, it's hard not to be a little wary of the mythical beings wandering around." Melony stopped, surprised at herself. She hadn't told anyone else exactly what had went after her friend and herself, so why was she telling Jatan?

It might have had something to do with the fact that she felt like she could trust him. Melony hadn't even told Day about it, nor how terrified she'd felt after. "After happened I was absolutely terrified. Somehow a retired hunter found me, took me in and trained me. This guy... He's amazing. He hates the way the council does things, hence his retirement, and only goes after supernaturals gone mad or who are bent on murder.That's what I do too. " A little shiver ran trough Melony, maybe she'd said too much.

Thinking quietly, Caz tried to figure out what to say. "I hope you're right Azra. If I try this, I won't have anywhere else to go. I'm going to be hunted by my own family." It was a sobering thought, but the young man was determined now. The jealousy he'd felt all those years when he was hunting... He hoped to finally earn what he'd so often looked upon and coveted. A family, a true family though not bound by blood. A small smile crossed his face when they approached the circus.

Listening closely to her Jatan nodded as she talked. So she was a hunter that only hunted the worst of them. That made sense to him and the vibe he got off of her. She didn't come off as other hunters did. "I am sorry that a vampire attacked you and your friend. It is good that you are protective over the humans but not to much so. I'm very glad that you aren't like the other hunters, there are few like you." He had come across a few like her and had always left them alone.

"If you commit to this it will show everyone that your serious. It will show them that you would risk everything to be one of us. So don't worry Cas, you'll fit in, in no time!" Pulling into the garage Azra shut the engine off and got out. She put the bag back in it's normal spot and opened the trunk. Flipping the blankets off the cages she smiled at the three animals. "That tiger is just so cute!" She said and grabbed the cage.

Melony smiled as she looked around the tent, pulling her eyes from the captivating man beside her. She swung her legs a bit, hanging over the edge of the trampoline, as she thought. "So, what is it you do? I take it you aren't always here, or I'd probably have met you before this." Wondering thoughts ran trough the young woman's mind. Melony got to thinking about what people were out there, those that she hadn't met yet. Perhaps traveling with the circus she could meet others like her, maybe they could start a counter movement against the Council. She couldn't fight them alone.

Following her, he went to help Azra pick up the cages. "So how do I show them that I'm committed to this? I have no idea... This is so confusing!" Casimir's last words were loud, nearly a shout. There was so much at stake, for such a slim chance. He'd realized though, that he couldn't keep living the way he was. Casimir couldn't keep hurting people, now that he knew what was really going on. It hadn't changed, but he didn't believe in the council anymore. That single loss of belief altered everything.

Sitting back in his chair Jatan crossed his feet at his ankles, hands behind his head. "I hunt the hunters. I take out the ones that become to much of a problem. But I do different jobs also, not all legal." There was many pies he had his fingers stuck in. It was his nature, he needed difference. But now he just wanted his sister. "No I'm not always here. I have been gone for about 12 or 13 years now I think. But I'm staying for a long time this time."

Spinning towards Casimir, Azra gave him a heavy frown. "You don't need to yell you know. The way to show you're committed is to just ask to stay. Say that you wish to be a part of the Circus. We'll see that you mean it. Of course some won't trust you at first but that will fade with time!" She started to walk forward slowly.

Caleb relaxed in slow stages after the guy who had screamed stood up, fully letting go and gracing a tense smile to Jatan. "Sorry, she's really spent the most time with Kita, and trying to get information out of her about Zal is bloody annoying because she would never betray her confidence." He said with a shake of his head. He offerd a murmured thanks as he moved around to 'babysit' his brown haired brother until Aki returned. When she did he left with the intention on getting lunch set up, there was so much going on that time had flown by.

Kita just giggled, hiding it behind her hands, then clambored onto the trampoline without using the currently occupied ladder. "Well, when we get you to the center I'd like to see you jump up. It should be easy with the black tarp thingy under your feet. Jumping becomes easy." She responded as she wobbled on her way to the middle. "It'll be lots of fun." She said with a bright smile.

Kyle just nodded, not really fond of tea, but if it'd help him heal faster then he'd drink the stuff. He watched the elf girl exit the practice tent, then re-enter and say something to Zalia's brother. She tossed something that Kyle had no idea what it was, before she walked towards him. He saw Aki come in next, and using his other shoulder to shrug with, he turned to Ahanna. "Alright. I'm sure Aki had it right as just some bruising and some strained muscles. No ligaments torn or bones broken. Thankfully." He joked at the end as he pulled the unbuttoned shirt off his shoulders and freeing the right arm.

Aki walked back in to see Kita pouting lightly as Jatan seemed to steal her 'victim' away. It was so cute. Stepping over to where Kyle and that strange elf with the pegasus was at, she wracked her brain for the woman's name. "Hey Ahanna. How're you?" She asked as she suddenly remembered, setting a blue ice pack and a red heat pack down next to Kyle, knowing he'd know how he was supposed to use them before she stepped away and watched Kita. Deciding to help a little she walked over to where Melony and Jatan were, nodding in greeting to Cire. "Hey guys." She waved, a bright smile flashing white teeth. "I think Kita's pouting a little bit Melony." She said, one hand gesturing to the tiger shifter who was sitting cross-legged on the tarp with her arms crossed over her chest. Kita stuck her tongue out at her sister.
