"Where is that nuisance of a boy now?" The ringmaster grumbled as he stomped around impatiently. He frowned at the lions' cage and tapped his cane lightly against its bars, looking expectantly at Catherine. "He's supposed to help with clean-up, and he's not here!"
"I'm sure he knows." The blue-eyed performer nodded knowingly as she prepared for dinner. "He'll be here, don't worry, ringmaster."
"Hmph." The man grumped, walking away. "He better get here soon. It's his turn for cleaning the lions' cage."
Catherine watched him go, and Trowa appeared beside her, also watching as the manager left.
"Catherine, I have a question..." Trowa began, and Catherine turned to face him. The boy shifted slightly, and then asked:
"Does the manager wear anything other than those show clothes?"
Catherine drew back indignantly. "Of course he does! He wears - He wears - " She stopped, thought for a bit, and gave him a look. "Y'know, I don't really know...But I'm sure he wears something other than that suit - He should be changing out by now... "
"Catherine! Trowa! You're here!" The manager stepped back into the tent and glared at Trowa. "You have work to do. Get going; the trainers need help with the lions." He adjusted his red coat and walked away.
The two performers watched the manager leave, then exchanged glances. The ringmaster still wore his show clothes, the red coat and white pants with black boots.
"I really don't think he wears anything else." Trowa decided, and Catherine had to agree.

"Catherine, I have another question."
"Go ahead, Trowa."
"...Does the manager have a name besides 'manager'?"
"Errr..."
