Conley Brothers

"Now. The one you were chasing...lettle fellow? All black?" He asked with a raised brow, folding his arms
 
Felix sighed "that's Vlad new little friend. You didn't know that though but leave him be in the future" Felix instructed

"Now then..it's time you and I get some sleep Leon"
 
"Finally! I'm so tired! And I need my beauty sleep. This amount of gorgeous does not just happen at the snap of a finger, you know," Leon groaned as he walked back toward his trailoer.

Little show is a slippery little thing. How is that Vladdy always keeping these little ones? Does he sack them like sardines?" Keith grumbled softly, following Felix.
 
Felix smirked a little as he walked alongside Leon "I'll be expanding the interior of his wagon to make room, which reminds me. That little fellow hasn't signed his contract yet." He had gotten too distracted with the day's events
 
Leon chuckled. "Vlad? Let you touch that tiny wooden crate of his? I'll bet you a beer he'll say no no matter how much charm you pour on him."

"No contract means hunting?" Keith asked hopefully.
 
"No Keith, no hunting, I've already made a verbal agreement" he said first, seriously.

"Well if he chooses not to let me give him more space that is his choice but it must be getting very crowded in there" he shrugged, certainly wouldn't force it
 
Keith grumbled softly but let it go.

"Maybe offer him a second wagon, one of those little tag along things, remember?" Leon yawned. "He's experienced enough of a driver, he could manage."
 
he nodded "Not a bad idea, I believe we do have a spare one. I'll bring it up to him tomorrow" he said

"Well, have a good night Leon" he said as they got back "Long day for us performers.." and with that he stepped back inside, not waiting for any sort of response.
 
Leon gave a vague wave in response and went to his wagon and the bed waiting there.

Keith crawled under Felix' wagon and curled up in his tiny bed, relaxing and resting for a bit before returning to his work patrolling the perimiter.
 
The following morning Starnacht hadn't returned to Vlads wagon, the little fellow sound asleep in the cage where he was safe and warm, so when Camilla came in the morning with food for Claudius she was quite surprised to find two in the cage rather than one "Well good morning you two"
 
Vlad was worried, but not yet frantic. He made breakfast for the twins and made certain they were practicing their show before going to find Starnacht. He hoped the little one was just still out exploring.

Claudius said nothing, but he watched Camilla quietly. He did not seem quite as jumpy as before, but there was still no trust in his eyes. Merely resignation.
 
Star lifted his head and squinted in the light "Star what are you doing in here? Vlad's going to be worried" she lifted the latch and opened the door "Scary Keith chased me" Star said softly by way of explanation.

Camilla frowned at that "Well I'll have a talk with Felix, see that he won't do that again" she said softly before looking over at her charge "are you ok? Did Keith hurt you?"
 
Keith? Hmm, so the thing had a name. He thought one of the others had said it last night, but he couldn't remember it. Now he had a name and a face to the other predetor. A growl rose in Claudius' throat before he shoved it down.

Vlad spotted Camilla from a distance. He lifted a hand to get her attention, not seeing Star yet.
 
Camilla noticed the movement from the corner over her eye so looked over and smiled, waving back, not noticing the growl , distracted by Vlad and little Starnacht as he climbed out of the cage, squinting it was so bright out so early in the day.
 
Vlad thought he spotted the movement of a small being and quickened his pace. Once he was close enough not to yell, he called to Camilla, "Good morning, Miss Camilla! Have you seen Starnacht? He did not come home last evening."
 
"He's here" Camilla said, glancing to where Starnacht had stepped into the shadows after climbing down "Keith chased him into the cage last night" she frowned a little, she'd have to talk with her brother "Seems ok though, mm Star?" She looked at the little fellow again.
"Not hurt" Star answered
 
Vlad joined them and knelt to look at Starnacht. "Keith chased you?" he said worriedly. "But he didn't hurt you? You were able to get away okay?" He glanced briefly toward the cage, but he didn't voice his fear that the thing in the cage could be as much of a potential problem as Keith. Not in front of Camilla.

Meanwhile, Claudius watched the open door anxiously. He shifted, his fingers shredding the corner of a rag anxiously. Why was it open? Was it a test? Was he supposed to leave? He never left!
 
Camilla let Vlad step in to talk to Star, she needed to make sure her charge was ok so she turned her attention back to him "Here, I brought you some breakfast" she set the plate down, reaching in a little ways but not coming in "Are you ok?" she asked him again with clear concern in her voice.

Star looked up towards the cage briefly then back at Vlad "He protect me, scare off Keith an let me stay... not hurt I'm ok..."
 
Claudius watched Camilla uneasily, not drawing back but not coming forward, either. Did she mean to tempt him with the door? Was that why she wasn't coming in? Or was she upset because of how he'd attacked the creature that lunged in after Starnacht? He probably shouldn't have done that, but he'd been startled.

Vlad glanced to the cage again, surprised, but relieved. "Good. I am glad you are not hurt. Are you ready for some food?"
