Conley Brothers

Spectra laughed lightly "well you're very sweet" she smiled "not much time to show you around beforw the show but you should watch the performance. Adanya is quite good"
 
"I thought you might enjoy that" she smirked a little.

They could hear Felix now beckoning the crowed to come and see the show that would be starting soon. The charm oozing out of him, almost tangible to anyone sensitive to magic.

The excitement emanating from the unassuming mundane folk was just as thick and only helping spread Felix's magic
 
Kazimir frowned and rubbed his temple. "He lays it thick, does he not? No sublety," he said disapprovingly. He turned away to look at the other wagons and tents. "Who else does the playing besides Adanya?"
 
Mundanes don't notice it" Spectra said with a shrug "and if someone sensetive notices they useually get recruited"

"Oh yeah. Most of us have an act or two. We cycle to keep each show unique. I'm not going on until one of the shows tonight. Mimic and I work together"
 
She shrugged "we are trapeze artists with a little magic embellishment" she answered. Spectra had the potential for so much more.

"Sometimes the adult show after hours" she didn't love that one but she was very good at it
 
"I am certain you do the most fantastic trapezing ever!" Kazimir said enthusiastically, "but... what is this adult show? Is it too frightening for the children?" He looked at her in genuine wide-eyed innocence.
 
"Don't you worry about tbe adult show my sweat man" she smiled. "Go wish Adanya luck" she prompted as they slipped into the backside of the big top.

Adanya was there already getting ready for her show. Today she had quite a few of her animals out. Far more than any other circus act dare take out at once but the cats were focused only on her as she sat on the ground with them talking.

Her costume was simple. None of the sparkle that Spectra liked. But it suited her. Simple and functional trousers boots and white shirt. The billowed sleeves as extra as she got
 
Kazimir nodded and stepped forward. He stood where Adanya could see him, not wanting to startle her or the cats. He murmured softly to the big cats, his fingers itching to pet them. Striker sometimes allowed him, and he was so soft! Then he turned his eyes to Adanya. She looked nice with the poofy sleeves, and the trousers were completely her. He wondered if she would consider a skirt for show time. Nothing beat drama like a skirt billowing about you! But maybe it would get in the way, and that would be bad.
 
Adanya noticed him after a moment and looked up. She smiled. Something about him always made her smile. "Did yoj come to watch the show?" A couple of the cats looked at him but stayed put, tails flicking
 
"If I may. I do not wish to be distracting," Kazimir told her. "Spectra told me you do a performance with these beautiful creatures, and I am eager to see it!" He grinned at her, his eyes sparkling.
 
"I don't mind. Already have many eyes watching" she looked out the small visible gap where rhey could see the ring and Felix standing on his podium announcing the next act. But more importantly the size of the crowd. The bigtop so much bigger on the inside to accommodate the city crowd. She didn't love this part of her job but it was a part of the deal
 
Kazimir peeked through, and his eyes widened. "Oh my!" he whispered. "Never have I performed before this size of an audience. This is... this is magnitude!" He looked at her, respect and excitement gleaming in his eyes. "Perhaps someday I will do this, too?"
 
"If you wish to but I do not see why one would want to do this" she sighed "I preform to keep a safe home for my friends that is all" she pet the head of one of the lions as she spoke
 
"My family has always preformed," Kazimir said, turning back to her. "That is what we do. The Romani... the Gypsy people, we preform for others in some way or another. It is in our blood. That is probably how Vladimir came to be drawn here."
 
She nodded a little "you should feel at home here then" she stood up. The cats following her lead "I hope you do that is"
 
She smiled a little, unsure of why she liked it when he said that but felt nothing when others did.

She didn't say anything to him though just looked at her cats and crouched down and looked each in the eye in turn before she stood and lead the way out with her cats before Felix could actually finish announcing her act. He hated when she did that but she was distracted by Kaz.

Still the cat's were paying attention. Adanya seemed so small with those huge animals putting on their own act jumping around and roaring for the crowed.

Adanya didn't use the classic whip or anything of the sort but danced around right with them, it was mesmerizing the way she and the animals were so in sync
 
Kazimir hid behind the curtains and watched her, eyes wide with wonder. She was beautiful! Beautiful and graceful. She was like magic. Not the kind he used, all glitter and sparkles, no, she was something else. Something older. Wilder. Untameable. He felt honored to be able to witness her weave her magic!
