"What the hell are you doing here Schrodinger?!"

Seras was looking down at the catboy, who's playful smirk seemed to radiate some micheivous action. After Schrodinger had run away from Millennium, he found solace in the young vampire as an older sister figure, and he in turn became a little brother to protect.

"Frauline, I heard a circus was in town, and well I was curious. What's a circus?" The cat boy's ears seemed to perk at the idea of learning about something that brought so many people joy.

"Well it's where a bunch of people will different talents come together and preform for a crowd of people." Seras told him as they were walking the grounds, it was performance night and there were so many people wandering about. "I've never been to a circus before either. So I'm excited."

Schrodinger was wearing an outfit that was similar to his uniform when he was an S.S. Millennium soldier, he had always felt that dress shirt and pants suited him.

"Come on Seras, I want to go watch." Schrodinger complained to her as she was looking around. She was counting the tents and trying to see if she could sense anything off.

"Schrodinger, you know that I'm busy, could you please entertain yourself while I go do my job." Seras then realized that she probably shouldn't of said that, because by the time she turned around, Schrodinger was gone. "Oh dear goodness. If he jeopardizes my mission at all, I promise that I will find some way to torment him."

She continued to wander around, counting each of the tents and taking note on all of the people when she found herself moving towards some of the fancier tents. "Now let's see if I can find anything here." She was talking to herself out of instinct, sometimes when she talked to herself, she would hear the voice of her Master responding. But she knew deep down in her heart that she was going to be alone for this mission, or she was supposed to be.

While she was deep in though she failed to notice the snake crawling on the ground near her, it was only when it hissed at her that she noticed its presence.

With a yell she fell flat on her bottom, as she looked at the snake and others that were about to surround her.

It was then that she was greeted with a voice. "What are you doing, asks Emily" It was the voice of a young boy, his skin seemed to be rough in places and his eyes glowed yellow. His white hair while neat had a few strands that were messy. Seras took note that this boy had snakes crawling all over him.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little lost... I'm trying to find someone. But then I saw your snakes and it gave me quite a scare." She speaks as she gets up from the ground, she knew that she could easily hurt these snakes if she wanted to, but really she didn't want to do anything to cause trouble. "I'm trying to find my little brother, have you seen him?"

"None of us have seen a boy around here. says Wilde" The boy seemed to be communicating for the snakes, a talent that amazed Seras. "You should leave now. says Goethe."

"I'm sorry sir." Seras bows slightly before realizing that a particular snake had decided to crawl up her skirt, as she was about to scream a hand covered her mouth, it was the boy's hand.

The boy motioned to the snake, but all they could hear from her skirt was a hiss. Seras moaned against his hand, trying to communicate, but suddenly she felt a hand touch her leg, slowly moving up.

"Pardon me!" The boy's hand was touching her thighs as he grabbed the snake. "He's the rebellious snake. Says Bronte." The boy let go of Seras' mouth in time for her to be beat red. If Pip had seen what had just taken place, there would be one less snake charmer in the world.

When the boy looked at Seras' face, he could see it was beat red and that she had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, says Emily."

"It-It's alright..." Her face wouldn't cease it's flushed tone, "Please don't let that happen again." The boy nodded in response, but he looked extremely nervous. "What's wrong?"

"I'm used to getting yelled at when that happens, says Woodsworth" The boy's face continued to look at her as her face started to lose some of it's red hue.

Seras couldn't help but feel sorry for this boy, it was clearly an accident, and he felt like he needed to be punished. "It's ok, it wasn't like, that was on purpose." She gives him a smile that was a genuine sign of forgiveness.

The boy simply turned away from her and walked towards the first tent in line. "Main tent is behind you to the left, says Goethe"

"Oh, ok then." She waved as she walked towards the main tent where the circus acts were taking place. When she entered the bright tent she could see that it was the final act of the night, and the crowds of people watching all in fancy dress made the fact that she was wearing her dress made her fit in as she looked at the act. A tiger was in the middle of the ring with a woman who whipped him into submission.

"We'd love some audience participation for this act, are there any volunteers?" The ringmaster of the arena, a bright man with orange hair and one other feature that caught her eye. His hand was a prosthetic, fake. It made her feel a little sad.

Seras looked around when she saw a man stand up, his eyes serious. Something inside of her reacted to seeing this man, something about him reminded her of her Master.

"Step right up, Sir." The ringleader's hand was outstretched towards the man as he stepped town the steps and climbed over the wall, walking towards the tiger without any fear in his eyes. While no one else could hear the words he was saying to the tiger, Seras could hear it perfectly. And then she saw something that made her cringe, she saw the tiger bite on the man's head.

"Betty, spit him out, he's dirty!" The woman began to yell at the tiger as Seras took her leave, if this was the final act of the night, everyone else would be leaving soon. She didn't want to be caught in the crowd.

"My my, that was an interesting performance." She heard Schrodinger's voice as she turned to see him next to her. "That man sure was foolish, walking right up to that big kitty like that."

"Come on Schrodinger, we need to get out of here before the crowd comes out. There is someone I want to investigate."
