Welcome to Gaia! ::

Grace had almost stopped to look back when Nathaniel asked her about Perrine but stopped herself from doing so. She looked away and then kept walking with Nathaniel leading him away from the big top.

"Perrine should be able to take care of herself. The only danger in this place is in tent behind us and I don't see her going in there anytime soon."

For some reason, despite all the lies that she has told before this one hurt her a little bit more than usual. She wasn't just lying to any person here, but a young caring man. She wanted to help but if they went back into the tent where Siff was, where she knew the kitten is, then there would be trouble between Siff and Nathaniel. Grace decided it was best that she keep Nathaniel away, at least for now and she could retrieve the kitten for him later.

Siff looked up at the two who were now alone with him in the tent and gestured for them to come closer.

"Inside this ring please. I like to see who it is I'm talking to."

He placed his hand back down on the kitten after gesturing for them to come nearer. With the young knife thrower seeming a little on edge he wanted to play a bit more careful for the sake of not losing his opportunity to pretty much scold the two of them for digging their noses where they didn't belong. If anything happened he would disappear in a flash and talk to the more logical of the two. Although even she seemed to not believe or want to obey the laws of this world. He placed the kitten in his coat, causing it to seemingly disappear without a single noise before Senna or Huck saw that he had it in the first place. For now he would hide that he had captured Perrine and decided to give it back to Nathaniel sometime later if he ever earned a reward for hard work.

Perrine laid very nervously in the mans arms trying desperately to meow to obtain attention but fear stopped her voice from leaving her throat. It also stopped her from moving as well. Being a cat, she sensed more than she ever had as a person. In this way she could also sense, the mood. Almost as though she could tell what a person was thinking without reading their thoughts. Reading their feelings and those of Mr.Siff were not the best to sense. She was given more fear of the man, and a new more depressing ground level view of the carnival in it's full entirety beyond what any person could see. When she realized that she started to move she looked up at the man, his glaring green eyes were the last things she saw before everything went dark.

Senna walked forward towards Siff stopping withing 10 feet of him. A street width apart from the man who at this current moment in time seemed very intimidating to Senna.

"What did we do?"

She asked tilting her head a little glancing towards Huck and then back towards Siff. Senna felt like her or Huck were seriously in trouble and hoped that it was neither of them. They had only walked around the carnival, a place they couldn't escape anyway.

Siff looked up to her and then to Huck. He sat perfectly still un-moving to the two who came closer. A purposeful "I won't stand for this" kind of gesture to help along his point.

"You two were snooping in sealed tents. Now, you do know what happens to the curious cat don't you? Anyway, you're both lucky nothing was dangerous in that tent and I highly advise you don't go searching around again."


Senna's brow furled down what he had said, unable to comprehend what was so wrong with searching the place. A slight glare of disbelief at what he was saying crossed her. As if giving him such a look would make him further explain what was wrong, despite the feeling that she shouldn't be disobeying him was there. She felt she probably wouldn't judge Siff at this current time if she didn't have Huck there to support here. If she were alone she wouldn't ask questions for fear of his reaction even though he had done nothing yet to give reason for her to fear him.

"Is there something wrong Scarlet Angel?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grace looked back to Nathaniel and then to Seth.

"Seth, you need to stop this. Stop asking people to leave before you get into real trouble."

She glared at him a bit. Seth, of all the people she's tried to help has never once taken her advice. As if every bit of work she does is for not in saving his life. In her eyes he might as well have committed suicide. She wondered why Siff had not done Seth in like so many others who have done far less to anger the man.

"Go back to your tent Seth."

"Pompous. I see."

Siff stood up and brushed off the sides of his jacket. He kept a firm stance and looked to Senna and then to Huck.

"I would be careful Huck. Not every bit of this Carnival is protected by me. There are dangerous things here and I wouldn't want Scarlet Angel to end up alone due to your decisions."

Siff acted a sincere caring man at this point. He wasn't planning on fooling them, still keeping his superiority and air about him. He hoped mostly that Senna would listen and still believe him to be the good man who hired her when she had first joined.

"I'm a harsh man, but It's for good intentions. I would be a horrible Ringmaster if I didn't place rules to protect my workers from the curse that this place holds."

Senna remained standing next to Huck not saying a word. The tension in the air was mostly between Huck and Will, and she didn't want to add to it.

Siff took one hand back up to his face holding it to his chin and lip in contemplation. He raised a brow and looked to Senna.

"You think I /love/ Senna?"

He looked back to Huck lowering his hand and placing it behind his back with his other hand. Holding his arms behind his back standing up.

"I assure you Huck that I won't be touching her. She is a worker, not in my interests to break professionalism... On another subject, There's nothing I can do about the curse, except help those who wander into my carnival. Hold shows to keep the place from falling apart completely. If you would suggest I use my powers another way I would like to hear it. Really I would. And now would be a good time since you seem to know so much about this place already."

Senna perked up a little and then felt really uncomfortable at how Siff had answered Huck back. She thought for a moment about what he had last said and raised her hand to answer him.

"Siff... You have tried to help workers escape? Bobby, and Grace... or the others?"

"I have tried."

Siff coldly stated still gazing at Huck for his answer in particular rather than Senna's questions.

"I don't see anyone else here who can keep the curse under control better than myself. There is no Winning, there is only continuing to run this Carnival the way it has been and always will be."

"What about keeping new people from coming? You could keep the gates closed..."

Senna stated mildly trying not to get on Siff's bad side. Considering that with what Huck had been saying and he still didn't seem too angry she could possibly put in her thoughts.

"The doors Open and close at their own will. I cannot stop new members but to only make them feel welcome. Let them know the rules so they do not get hurt."

Siff did not once look at Senna since they he gave his attention to Huck earlier. Almost to slightly signify that he was less interested in talking with her.
