Enter Stage Right

[Tina Bennet]

Uggggggggh. Stop. Being. Right.

Thankfully, the acrobat was already on to his next move, an interesting balancing act that made her want to swat the ball off the tip of his nose just to see if he would flinch. She ran a hand through her hair before letting it rest on her hip as it cocked to the side, still tempting to see what he would do if someone interfered.

It was very, very tempting.

"Tina." Her lips pulled in a hint of a smirk at the introduction.

[Cillian McWolfe]

"Well then." He'd lean forward to let the ball roll off his nose and into his palm before pocketing it. "Let's give another round of applause for the Fantabulous Tina for her generous show."

Once again, he would lead the applause with a wide grin.

"And I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for sparing me a few moments of your time. I can only hope that this served to bring a little joy and light into your lives."

And with that he'd give everyone, Tina included a large sweeping bow.

[Tina Bennet]

She liked the name, even if there was mockery in there. There has to be. Still, Tina turned towards those that had gathered and gave a grand curtsy with an imaginary skirt. She rose with a flourished wave and a smile. Part of her figured she should say something, and she wanted to, to up the competition of his performance and layers of gratitude, but what was there to thank them for?


Turning to face Ardan, she would slowly raise her hands to applaud for him, waiting for the sound to die out before she'd pepper him with more questions.

"So what happens next?"

Tina, princess of tact and patience.

[Cillian McWolfe]

"I pack up and move on to the next town. There are a lot of small villages peppered in this area. If I push myself I can hit two or three more before I need to make camp."

[Tina Bennet]

"A wham, bam, thank you ma'm huh? I know a few people like that." She gave a sage nod. "Let's go."

[Cillian McWolfe]

He tilted his head at her.

"What a strange thing to say."

He'd never heard that phrase before.

[Tina Bennet]

It was one of her many talents, along with wondering if she was actually about to hitch a ride with someone who had been hit upside the head one too many times as a baby.

"Stranger things out there, y'know?" She shrugged, fingers splayed, as if she couldn't be bothered. He'd get used to it. Not at all that she might have not heard it properly or know what it used to be said for. "You been doing this long? You sound pretty confident on finding more people soon."

[Cillian McWolfe]

"Trust me, of that I am well aware. And we will likely get a chance to witness much of it."

If they were going to travel the known world it stood to reason that they would see all kinds of oddities along the way.

"This was my grand debut, but I am confident that things will work out for the best. I began this prepared to travel alone, finding talented people such as yourself only gives me cause to rejoice and renews my confidence that we can bring smiles to the world."

[Tina Bennet]

"Seriously?" Seriously?! What kind of "grand" debut was that? It was a test run at best. The flattery helped, though she still gave him a look of disbelief.

"Well, I'm down for some weird shit. Normal's boring." She folded her hands behind her head again as she contemplated the idea of others coming along for the ride.

"Sounds like this could be a lot of fun." She gave him a measured glance and hum. "You ever deal with teh stuff on the road before? More than muggers and stuff."

[Cillian McWolfe]

"Seriously. Modest it may be, but with how little most people live with, it often doesn't take much to brighten a day."

He flashed her a smile.

"Besides, it seems it made an impression on you, so it can't be that surprising."

He'd start to make his way back to his wagon, hopping up to the driver seat with a flourish, holding onto the side as he leaned off the wagon to look down at Tina.

"Don't worry about muggers and the like. Should anything happen I'll make sure everyone remains safe."

[Tina Bennet]

Tina sticks her tongue out at him as he made his way back to wagon, silently mocking Arden's last words as she willingly followed along, only to scoff and roll her eyes with something that was almost a giggle.

"I ain't worried - they're the ones that need to be worried."

[Cillian McWolfe]

He'd laugh and swing himself back up to get ready to drive off.

"To the next adventure!"
