.❖. The Performance Halls .❖.
The halls lead through to one another with grand archways, which can be curtained off if one wished to perform in private.
The first... A space cleared with small furnishings around the room, for one's guests to sit, but also a place to rehearse or practice. It is has a piano forte in one corner, and the large French windows lead out to the gardens; the room's main door is accessed through the main Hall.
The Second... A larger hall next to it's furnished sister hall, there are only large balcony windows over looking the garden, no actual access available from this hall. It has next to no furnishings and was previously used as a dance Hall. When guests come to visit, it may still be used as this and opposite the entrance to this Hall, across the Main Hall is the door to the dining room, both usually left open, so when visitors gather, they can move easily through both, whilst the two performance spaces either side of this central hall, are curtained off for preparing acts behind them.

  UlaSea undressed and slipped into the water of his tank with a happy sigh, changing to his true form as soon as he hit the water. he pressed a button and a section of the wall moved tot he side, revealing a glass wall that allowed visitors to look into his tank. the top half was opened and there were rocks for him to pull himself up on and sit on it. he enjoyed sitting there when there were visitors and speak with them or even sing. he swam to look around and see if there were any visitors, but he didn't see anyone. "oh well," he shrugged and started to swim around, humming to himself.

UlaSea was bored enough to cry by this time. there just seemed to be no one around! with a sigh he closed off tank and got out, shifting back to his human form. maybe he'd go out on the grounds and sing for a bit since it didn't seem they had any costumers.

Zanezabar did not object to the hand placed in his. Lyca was allowed to hold his hand, it didn't mean too much, it was just... Lyca seemed like the clingy friend type, so it didn't bother him as maybe it should. He picked up his step and took the lead, heading for the circus, the performance halls. His precious lions were in a hall behind the performance hall, a hidden room away from the people, where they could access an area outside to play in. This was the proper way to house an animal such as a lion. "Hm... Yes. He was a good ferret too," He said softly. He glanced at Lyca, "I had him a very long time ago, and he died of old age. When he grew older, I let him live a nice cozy life, and he passed away," He said, a frown now on his face. He loved his pets, he trusted them easily and loved them easily, animals. Humans were another story, humans were harder to read, harder to understand and harder to love. "Do not worry, he lived a happy life," He assured, bringing a smile to his own face.

 Lyca had been afraid of the answer, why didn't he stop himself from asking. Hanging his head, he got all teary eyed hearing that, even with Zane trying to make things seem positive it was sad. "O-oh..." his voice cracking a little, raising his free hand rubbing his eyes. "I-I'm sorry," looking up all teary, it was still sad. "Y-you say that, but it's still sad..." that he was gone and all. Lyca was most often sensitive about those things because he was always there, while everything else disappeared.

Zanezabar turned to look at Lyca as his voice cracked, what? Oh god! Just then he realized his words caused Lyca to start to cry. Of course it was sad, it was death, it happened though! He stopped and turned to face Lyca, he released the male's hand to raise his hands to cup the other's face. "Hey. Hey. It's alright," He said quickly, a bit horrified to see the other crying like this over his ferret. It wasn't that big of a deal! He frowned, wiping the tears from Lyca's cheeks with his thumbs. "Let's go look at my lions, alright?! Forget about this sad thought," He said, grabbing Lyca's hand quickly and tugging him to the Lions' room. He opened the door and led Lyca into the room.
The enclosed area had a bit of a cushioned floor, the color of stones. There were some rocks and a few things for the lions to play with, then a door that led outside. The outdoors was similar, with larger rocks for playing or laying in the sun, a tree, a man-made pond for water, and a toy ball that they batted around. The two lions were scattered, on was outside the other was laying in the corner. Zane pulled Lyca into the room and shut the door, that was hidden like a wall from the outside. He then walked over to the lion laying inside, reaching out and petting the lion's head, the lion shifting upward into the hand and sitting up, letting out a roar. The trust between the lions and Zane was strong, Zane had raised them since they were little, through and interesting turn of events... Lucky he joined the circus, or housing two lion cubs and letting them grow would be... Hard. "This is Niko, and the other one is Mako. They are brothers," He said, smiling over to Lyca. Showing off his lions first would hopefully perk Lyca up, then he'd get the meat, which was through a door in the upper corner of the room that led into a small fridge room that was accesable from a room on the opposite side, so going through the lions didn't need to occur. This made getting food to the animals easier as well.

Lyca sniffled, blinking, his eyes shutting a bit as Zane wiped the tears. Nodding sullenly. The whole thing was being basically immortal made him all oversensitive about this, since he didn't like that everything just basically disappeared, while he was the same always. Maybe that was something else that had him gravitating towards Zane, he was the same as him, not a vampire of course, but still immortal. Being pulled to where the lions were, his hand in Zane's again, holding on. Listening as he was saying the lions names, smiling a bit soon, kinda feeling better. "Uh...c-could I pet them...I mean since they're friendly with you for obvious reasons..." Since Zane raised them, so he meant how would they be about Lyca, since they didn't seem to react too badly yet.

Zanezabar looked back to Lyca, who hadn't moved from where he had been left near the door. He nodded his head and moved back to Lyca, pulling him gently to Niko. "They can be a bit... Off with strangers, but it should be alright as long as I am near. They know I wouldn't let anything harm them," He said, holding Lyca's hand and outstretching it to place his palm against the lion's head. Zane's hand still rested on top of Lyca's hand. "They are really friendly," He said with a smile, "Though they do get out of hand sometimes, only if properly aggrivated... Or told to," He said with a soft laugh. He kept a gentle hold on Lyca's hand and made him pet the lion slowly, through the lion's mane and behind the ear. "They are just like over grown house cats," He said, releasing the hand and allowing Lyca to pet the lion, who was sitting there calmly, his eyes shut, not minding the attention. Slowly, Zane moved away and fetched the meat for the lions. He took it to the feeding mat, where he placed the meat so not to dirty the floor, or the meat. He hear a growling roar type noise, Mako came through the door and came at him quickly. He stepped aside and ran his hand along the lion's back as he moved to eat. "Mako is a bit more... Hyper," He said with a smile, turning to Lyca. Niko had gotten to his feet and left Lyca in favor of the food. "They always act like I never feed them..." He complained, moving back into the meat room and cleaning his hands before coming back and shutting the door tightly, locking it up. "Have to keep this pen sanitary, it takes quite a bit of effort, but they need to remain in perfect health. Performances and they are like my family."

Lyca was like a yo-yo or something, his emotions and personality going just up and down and everywhere, with his different attitudes. Letting Zane pull him over, his hand extending, smiling big as he was petting Niko. "So amazing..." Talking about the lions. Chuckling lightly, nervously, "Ah...well good thing I'm not on your bad side..." like if he pissed him off somehow or whatever reason to have the lions on attack. Chuckling lightly as he watched the two go tearing into the meat. "They're so...so amazing, and lovely..." their fur and all. Standing close to Zane watching them. Smiling about the family thing, "Aww that's sweet...Mhm I get it though.." saying they were like family for Zane. And it was cute.

Zanezabar looked at Lyca, he seemed really interested in the lions. He called them amazing? "Bad side?" He questioned, smiling at Lyca a bit. "I don't tend to have a bad side. Even if I did, it's not like I'd ever send my lions on someone!" He said with a laugh. His eyes scanned back to the lions eating the meat. They were amazing and lovely though, he agreed completely with that. They were beautiful creatures, that was for sure. Ever move they made was gorgeous and powerful. He was lost a bit in thought, quickly snapping back as Lyca spoke again. "Well, since I don't really have a real family... Animals are the ones I get along with most. People are confusing... Not to mention most are mortal," He said, shaking his head slowly in distaste. He smiled at Lyca again, "Once they have finished eating... We could get to that private show if you'd like...? A bit of rehearsal would do them good anyway. They will probably play a bit if I let them... Or we could... Uh... Do something else..." He said, a bit hesitant at the end, unsure of what else to offer up. They could stay here and watch how the lions behaved in their home.

Lyca giggled with Zane's very to the point answer, smiling as he was speaking. Thinking about it then, if he didn't have a bad side that was good, he liked that. Listening as he got kinda deep, about animals being his family and all. Pursing his lips, sighing, he did understand what he meant by all that. Soon as he was propsing the 'private show,' Lyca held back from blushing since he had meant it a certain way before, but mostly joking since he liked seeing Zane's reaction. "That'd be great, I'd like that." Meaning the private show, grinning. Smirking more and his fangs showing as he thought on how Zane said that very last thing, so cute how he was about that.

Zanezabar glanced at Lyca as he agreed. Oh, that was really good actually. He had feared that Lyca would want to do something else. If he had it would have really sucked... Since Zane had no idea what else they could do. He smiled a bit and then glanced back at the lions. "Alright. Once they have finished I'll get them to the hall and we can begin a practice session. It is supposed to be empty and all, so no problems there," He said with a big smile, glancing to Lyca once again.

Lyca yay-ing, lightly, to not surprise the lions, smiling "Mhm I can't wait." Looking all giddy, every movement of his made the few butterflies still following him wriggle around. There were a couple along his shoulders, their wings moving when Lyca moved around enough. The many others he had set off to go about their own business until he came back out to go to his room. He was leaning on the doorframe into where the lions were, waiting, smiling every so often when Zane would look over at him. Soon as Zane was ready, Lyca moved out to the hall with him and the brother lions. Taking a seat on a barrel that happened to be there, sitting close to watch their practice.

Zanezabar was kind of glad the conversation decreased after they agreed to do the practice once the lions got through their meal and had a little to let their stomachs settle. No point working a lion that just ate, it would upset their stomachs... Then they were off into the hall, not a soul around. He smiled and gestured his lions to walk the halls. Generally before a show he would come in, his lions shortly after would come running in and bolt around the room, circling and coming back to him, as if to attack, rising and preparing, then dropping and continuing. It grabbed the audience's attention. He instead just let his lions walk in with him, they stopped towards the center of the room. He had never rehearsed in front of an audience, it would be... Odd. Especially since it was Lyce. Lyce made him feel uncomfortable, despite his liking of the male. Maybe he didn't want to make a fool of himself?
He looked at the lions, who were moving about the room, since they weren't given orders yet. He clapped his hands, both lions stopping in their tracks and turning to him. He summoned them to his side and sent Niko to sit by the wall with a hand gesture taught to him at a young age. It meant wait, just a point and then a flat palm that moved down. Niko obeyed. Then his attention was on Mako, he knelt down by the lion and reached out placing a hand on his head, "Be good," He whispered to the lion, then rose up and moved to get some items. He tossed a hoop at the lion, who moved to catch it in his mouth, then flipped it around his neck, releasing so it hung like a necklace. Zane moved to the lion and took the hoop, he set up a few obstacles, three hoops, near each other, the one in the center higher risen than the other two around it. He snapped, and Mako went running around in a circle, looping back and moving for the rings, clearing them all without even a slight scrape of the smooth metal. "Good boy," Zane said, smiling at the lion, who came over and nudged Zane's hand. Zane set the rings on fire and had Mako run it again, he did great. Zane left the rings, he'd have Niko run them as well. He looked to Lyca, "I'm afraid the rehearsals are a bit boring. I just have to run them through tricks and make sure they are in shape for them... The show tends to have more... Danger. But I don't do those as practice, because whatever danger I put myself in is no danger in the slightest, no need for practice," He apologized with a weak smile.

Lyca sat there watching intently, every now and then clapping a little, lightly. Smiling as he was watching. Looking at Zane as he was speaking, he shook his head, "No not at all, this isn't boring at all...I've been enjoying this, Niko and Mako are amazing...so's their lead," winking meaning Zane, since he was leading the rehearsal and all. Hearing the rest about the danger, furrowing his brow a bit, nodding acknowledging and all, "Mhm yes I suppose that makes sense, I understand...though as I said I still think this was great, not boring at all, don't sell yourself short," smiling complimenting him and all.
