Sheshoru, her hair fluttering behind her, ran through the maze of the forest, looking for the waterfall mentioned by her fellow Circo nelle Stelle employees. Five different swords, all of different types, were slung across her back, and her scythe was gripped tightly in her hands. Her blade swiped at the unseen, cutting like a knife through butter through some of the toughest bark. "Almost there!"

Quickly catching up on Sheshoru's speed, was a boy who looks to be 10 years old. His hair color matches that of the girl being carried on his back, but his expression is that of an angry look rather than a careless one. As the girl covers her ears, the boy took in a deep breath. "HEY TAKAHASHI!!!" the boy yelled out furiously, "IT'S NOT NICE FOR YOU TO LEAVE US BEHIND!" He ran up to Sheshoru's right side and take a look at her, pointing at the trees that are now behind them, "They didn't do anything to hurt you! Say sorry!"
After he finishes, the girl on his back wraps her arm around the boy's neck, and closes her eyes as if taking a nap. The girl may not look it, but she's actually controlling the boy's action and behavior. She's Aure Rousseau, puppetmaster of Circo Nelle Stelle, and the boy is her puppet, named Steed. Using Steed to do most of the interaction requires a lot of her focus, which is why she always appear lazy/tired around people.

(( For a moment there, I'm sorry, but I could not take the name 'Steed' seriously. x3 ))
Sheshoru looked at the two without much interest, but she smiled. "They were in my way. That is what they did to me." Her pace did not slow as she continued on gracefully. "Besides, I wanted to... 'scout out'. I need a good spot to practice my sword acts. Plus, the trees were also helping me by sharpening my scythe. The more it cuts, the more deadly it gets!" She couldn't help but do a back handspring as she continued forward. She may not have had very good balance, but to make up for that she was flexible. "Besides, how are we going to get anything done without a bit more speed? You two were taking way too long for me."

Steed opens his mouth, about to throw out a couple of profanities, but he held back after seeing the sunlight reflects off of Sheshoru’s scythe. The thought of that scythe going through his body means he’ll be out of commission for about a month. Body parts like his aren’t easy to replace, since they cost a fortune to begin with, and Aure’s not going to be happy without her personal puppet around. “Aure’s checkup took a lot more time than usual,” he said, changing the subject, “The doctor still doesn’t believe she’s a healthy girl.”
Now that he mentions it, he takes a good look at Sheshoru’s body. During the check up sessions, the first thing the doctors would do is check for Aure’s height and weight. Steed finds the little difference between the two girls height to be uncanny, especially for the huge difference in their age. Sheshoru is supposedly 17, right? It’s surprising that she’s no more than 5 feet for her age. Aure’s only 7 years old, and 4’2” in height (which isn’t too far off from Sheshoru’s). “…Are you always like this?” he asked, “You’re going to scare away all the boys in the yard.”
((OOC: I can't help myself. The poor girl is only seven, and she does use him like he's some sort of helpful companion. No, she doesn't know that she's abuses the poor dollie/puppet. xP))

Sheshoru smirked, finally beginning to slow her place. "Well, do I look like I'm looking for those boys? Besides, most wouldn't want to come in my backyard anyway." She flicked her hair for an example, and rested her gleaming scythe on her shoulder. "Don't mess with me, Steed. Especially when I've got at least 6 swords on me.
"The doctors are stupid. They have no idea who we really are. Just ignore what they say... Happiness and laughter will cure anything. Well, that and watermelon."

“Huh…” Steed gives himself some time to absorb what Sheshoru just said. Happiness and laughter will cure most anything? He stares up toward the little patches of sky that aren’t covered by trees’ branches. …Anything, huh? Does that mean anything and everything? While he mules over the thought, Aure opens her eyes, repeating Sheshoru’s last word to herself, “Watermelon…”, and closes her eyes again. Eh… Ignoring what his controller just said, Steed turns his head to face Sheshoru, testing her theory out. “In that case,” he puts on a mocking expression, “does it mean you’re into older guys like Mr. Icarus? Ahahaha! Ew! He’s like, twice your age.”
Before Sheshoru gets to reply, Steed starts picking up his pace to start a game of tag. Letting one of his hands disconnect itself from his body, the hand flew over and taps Sheshoru’s should before connecting itself back to its original body. “Tag! You’re it!” Steed yelled out teasingly. After a couple more steps, he turns his head back forward, just in time to see a huge tree right in front of him. Unable to stop himself, he collided right into the tree, which also causes Aure’s head to bump into his own. Aure fell off his back and lands on her butt. “OW!” Steed yells out. Both Aure and Steed touched their foreheads at the same time with both hands. “OW, OW! Damn it! Am I bleeding?” By now, Sheshoru must have past by them and is a couple meters ahead, getting closer to said waterfall they’re all looking for.
