(Would you like to start or me?)

((You mind? I'm unsure as to where to place my girl at the moment.))

Claire was walking through the market place, passing time before her next dance performance. She wore a blue cloak that was long enough to cover her dance outfit completely, even as she walked. "Yes can I get some mixed fuits?" she replied to a salesperson who was talking to her. He nodded and handed her a bowl full of fresh fuits and she paid him, heading back to her stage to stretch and eat.

Something about that day seemed different, like something new was going to happen besides the same old thing that Claire was used to. The bell chined throughout the kingdom to signal the hour and she stepped onto the stage letting her cloak fall off to reveal her outfit.

Could this day possibly get any better? All she'd wanted to do was have a walk around town and see what the stalls were selling, why did she need an escort for that? She was more than able to look after herself and this was her own land, why would a fellow Elf turn on her? No one was that stupid, surely? They would not only have her four brothers to deal with, but also her father and just about everything he could throw at them. But of all the brothers that could have come with her.. why him. Thalen, the eldest brother, was also the biggest pain in the behind. To her, atleast.

"When was the last time we went shopping together, hm?" The tall male clad in armor the color of his peoples flag, grinned at his sister.

Arcelia rolled her eyes and looked over her shoulder to the male behind her. "When I came to get a new dress fitted for the banquet. You scared the poor woman when you threatened to put her in the dungeon if the dress wasn't pretty."

Thalen folded his arms across his chest and almost seemed to pout at her words. "Hey, I was only trying to make sure you looked your best, as per fathers request."

"Yes, but I think drawing your blade to prove that point went a little too far, don't you think?"

".. yeah, okay, I got a little carried away." Thalen sighed and looked up as he heard bells chiming. A small crowd of people were gathering up ahead too. "Wonder whats going on there. C'mon." Pushing his way through the crowds, the eldest Felosia sibling went to investigate. Arcelia, on the other hand, followed but carefully weaved through the crowd, apologising for her brother as she went.

Claire smirked slightly at the crowd that had gathered around her stage as she took her spot in the middle. The air filled with silence when she took her stance; her right leg was forward and turned outwards, her head down and eyes closed, her arms above her head in a slightly complicated position. The sun glittered off of her exposed skin and hair.

A band started playing off to the side of the stage and Claire's head lifted quickly with the beat of the music, her body moving in fluid like motions. With her eyes still closed, Claire moved gracefully about the stage with each step and pop of her hip in perfect sync with the music. It was almost hypnotising, the way she danced, it made people happy with life and kept them going on with life for the most part.

Thalen managed to secure himself a front row seat, so to speak, and stood watching the girl up on stage. A dancer, from the looks of her outfit. Not long after, Arcelia managed to get herself through the crowd and stood beside him quietly, eyes resting on the girl in front of them.

The music began and the dancer started to move. Her movements were fluid like and perfectly in time with the music. Arcelia found herself watching in awe as the dance progressed. Even though she was out with possibly the most annoying of her four brothers, she was relaxed and content for the moment.

There was a certain aura surrounding Claire as she danced. The crowd was in awe as she twirled on the balls of her feet and leapt into the air. She happened to look down and noticed that there were two different people in the crowd than she was used to seeing. The music was coming to an end and Claire changed up her routine so she could land right infront of the two newcomers of her show.

She span in the air, her legs bend up, arms in the air and she landed faceing the two people, smiling. "Thank you for watching." she said, winking slightly before she stood up and took her bow, walking off the stage. Her body was lined with beads of sweat, glistening in the sun. She was curious as to who the two people were, they looked royal.

It seemed as though the rest of the crowd was in just as much awe as the royal siblings, even those that were lucky enough to have seen her dancing more than once. Her build and body seemed to be made for dancing and the music just added to the effect. Arcelia let a rare smile grace her lips. Today, it seemed, was their lucky day. The dancer performed a spectacular move to finish the routine and happened to land right in front of them and wink. Atleast, thats what she thought.

At her bow, both siblings joined in the applause with everyone around them. That routine had been truly captivating. As the applause finally died down and the crowd began to disperse, Thalen nudged his sister sharply in the side. "What are you smiling at?" He asked, prodding her once more with his elbow.

Claire was rather pleased with herself. She went back behind the stage, boquets of flowers waiting for her. She smiled slightly, not having much more to go on with besides that. There had to be away for her to earn more money....

Claire had another break until her next performance. She decided to walk around the market for a bit before she perched herself on the side of the fountain that was in the middle of the great elven city.

Arcelia looked upto her brother with a glare he was all too familiar with, though it quickly faded once she poked her tongue out at him. "Lets find something to eat, I'm starving." Turning on her heel, she started off towards the nearest food stall. Fruit sounded tasty at the moment and there was always plenty of it around the market.

After purchasing a large fruit bowl, the two went to find somewhere to sit and enjoy it. The fountain seemed like an obvious choice, though someone was al ready sitting there. The dancer from not long ago.

Claire was basking in the sun, finishing her fruit from before. She didn't realize that the two from the show were walking up to the fountain as well. She finished her bowl and sat it next to her, laying back on the fountain side. She wanted to get more rest before her next and final show of the day.
((Sorry short post))

Arcelia sat on the edge of the fountain and picked a slice of apple from the bowl she was holding. The soothing sound of the running water behind her was enough to drown out the other sounds of the city, though it was not enough to drown out her brothers voice. Unfortunatly.

"Hey, great dance just now." He said to the dancer as he passed, though stopped a foot or so away from her as he spoke. "You here everyday?"

Claire opened one of her eyes and noticed it was the male from earlier that was at her show. "Thank you. Yea I am. Every hour." she replied, laughing slightly. "But it's a way of life I suppose. What about you? I know I haven't seen you around here before." she then asked, the sun was making her tired but she was alert enough to have a conversation with him. Claire didn't even notice that the girl was sitting not far from her.

Every hour? Well now.. he'd have to make sure he was around until her next dance. He was sure his sister would want to watch again too, not everyday something gets her smiling like that. "Me? Oh.. I don't get chance to get out much like this. I'm only here now baby sitting." Arcelia heard that and showed her disdain by throwing a piece of apple at the back of her brothers head. "You are not babysitting, I am more than able to come into town by myself. I don't need an escort." She frowned to her brother, then looked to the girl. "Don't mind him, he's a bit or a moron."

Claire laughed at the two as they quarrelled. "That's alright. At least you have some to look after you." she replied, shrugging slightly. "You both should come back later tonight. I'll be doing a dance with fire for the first time." she told them. Claire had been practicing this dance for quite some time and she finally felt ready to show it.
(Sorry about not replying yesterday. V-day and all that jazz.)

((Its fine, hope you had a good day =) ))

"Oh you love me really." Was Thalens reply accompanied by a grin. "Tonight? Ah.. as delightful as that sounds, we've company tonight so we'll be unable to make it."

Dancing with fire? Now that was something Arcelia wanted to see. If her dance earlier was anything to go by, tonight was going to be interesting. "I'll stop by, I think." It was only her uncle coming to visit for a few days. More male company.

((Thanks you too.))

"Oh okay, well I should be performing it once a night until I get better." she then said to the large man infront of her.

Claire seemed to brighten up. "Really you will?" she asked, looking at the girl next to her. She seemed to illuminate happiness, having met people who enjoyed her dances. "Do you dance?" she then asked, looking at Arcelia.

"I'll try to stop by another night then. Might bring the rest of the clan with me, they should enjoy it too." He said with a grin, then returned to the fountain to sit beside his sister.

"Yes, it will be nice to spend some time away from my brothers and in female company." Would be one of the very first time in years that she'd done so. This female seemed nice enough too. "Oh.. no, I don't. I've never been taught."

Claire smiled, "Are there a lot of people in your family?" she asked, still oblivious to the fact that they were royalty.

"Oh I would love to teach you some time if you'd like." she told Arcelia. "I'm sorry, I've been so rude to you both. My name is Claire."

"Yeah, quite a few." Thalen looked back to the dancer as he picked a grape from his sisters bowl. "I'm the eldest of five. My sister here, is the only girl and the youngest." He paused, head tilted. "My uncle is coming to visit tonight, he has two boys of his own, so its going to be a busy night tonight."

"Oh.. well if your sure you have the time." Arcelia said, giving the female a small bow of her head in thanks. "It is nice to meet you, I am Arcelia. This is Thalen." She said, introducing both herself and her brother.

Claire looked at the two of them. "Wow... big family. Wait.... you are son and daughter of King Astaroth?" she asked, now rather flustered about the fact that she was speaking to them so casual like they were just commoners like her. She now felt that she was being rude.

A big family? That was a bit of an understatement and most of them were male. "Yes, we are." Arcelia said, dipping her fingers into the cool water of the fountain. It was nice to be spoken to like equals for once, rather than being addressed as royalty. "Though please, do not tell anyone else, we are just out to have a bit of quiet time."

Claire nodded. "Of course." she replied. "I just feel rude that I didn't see it before." she added softly. she turned and dipped her hand in the fountain as well. She was still rather warm from the sun that was still beaming down on them. "Ya'll didn't come into town for anything special?" she asked.
