"Hey Trowa! Who's the cutie with you? Mind if I borrow him for a while?"

Quatre could swear the tall boy glared at the man approching.
He dismissed the thought, why would he do that any way?

The blonde studied the man who was now in front of him. A tall blonde clad in bluse shorts and a white tee shirt. He had been in the fire act. Quatre remembered seeing him juggle flaming sticks whilst breathing fire out to the audience. That explained why the man's bangs looked a little burnt.

"This is Quatre, a friend of my sister and I. No you cannot "borrow him". Should I inturupt Zeke's workout to tell him what you had in mind? I don't believe he'd like you going after other guys, now would he David?"

The blonde man sputtered and said quick goodbyes before leaving.
Quatre couldn't help but laugh and was surprised to find Trowa laughing as well. He should laugh more often. It was beutiful to hear, like water, cool and calming.

"Would you like to see the animal tent? I'll introduce you to them if you would like."

"I'd love to."

The pair of boy's neared the last cage inside the massive tent. It was like a zoo. Camels, elephants, lions, and dozens of other creatures. The way Trowa's eyes gleamed must mean this last cage contained something he loved. Apperantly even more than the lions.

Quatre smiled as he peered into the cage as it came into view. This was something else.
The large feline walked up to the cage door as he saw Trowa aproach. The tall boy slipped a hand through the bars to scratch the tiger's ear. If Quatre didn't know better he would of sworn that they were both purring.

"This is Rowan. We've had him since he was a cub, I was only eight."

"He's stunning. I'm guessing that he's your favorite."

Even though Trowa didn't answer, anyone could tell by the small smile on his lips that it was so. He ran his fingers through the soft fur on the creature's neck before leading the way back to the trailer for dinner.
