[ blinks. ]

you mean caine?

yeah... he's like... charming, in a weird way, but his ideas seem a bit much at times.

hmmm.

ooh! have you ever done yoga?

aw, i'm sorry...

maybe we can do something to help with that?

when jax holds his breath it makes him want to kiss men real bad, he told me

i'm glad... did you manage to get any sleep?

i realized it sort of helps... i mean, it's not like we need the rest, but it's the closest thing we get to disconnecting...

eh, as good as one can be, i suppose. still getting used to this... place.

hmm... i think something's going on

i'm not fragile.

gangle is really nice, yes, but i also like hanging out with you. you're kind of the first person i got to spend time with in this place.

you—you okay, buddy?

w—well, even if you don't tell me, there's, uh... there's no reason why we can't just... hang out.

[ tapping her hands together. ]

[ and he thinks she's just gonna let him?? cue her lil toe beans tapping rapidly as she follows.

tink tink tink tink tink tink tink. ]

wait—come on, that's not fair!

[ as soon as she gasps for air, she's able to move again... huzzah!! ]

oh, dear—i'm a little dizzy... that felt odd!!

i hope it was worth your time.

[ ... well, that's making her more nervous. lucky for him, that means she's holding her breath out of instinct.

suddenly... she goes really stiff, twirling around in place, just like a music box topper. if you listen closely, there's even a little music playing... ]

what, afraid of saying the word "please"?

fine, fine, just give me a moment... i get nervous being watched like this.

hmmmmm. i might need more convincing than that.

[ hands on her hips. raising a non existent brow. ]

are you trying to be mysterious or something? come on. otherwise i'll assume it's real embarrassing.

null!! 🥰

gooooooood day!

[ huff. ]

first of all, it's minuette now.

and second, why don't you do it first, i wanna see what happens to you.

ahah... yeah...

[ oh man. she's gonna feel guilty forever. ]

. . .

i don't know... it feels kinda childish...

[ perhaps she shouldn't complain, given what null got. ]

... um. you're always welcome to hang out here if you'd like!

[ jumping on her big fluffy bed. staring at the ceiling. ]

goodnight, fellow circus members! i am definitely not having thoughts of death right now!

[ . . . ]

[ well now she feels AWFUL asking them to come. ]

noooo, i'm sorry—!

[ she has no idea how to fix this. her room is amazing... and theirs really does suck. ]

🎶/ minuette pretending she doesn't see bc she has like half the context:

[ there's a vanity with lights, and a small circular stage that spins. an assortment of pillows and cushions, a large mirror... and several identical dresses hanging from a rack. ]

. . .

huh.

[ grabbing the doorknob... and she pushes it open. ]

. . .

[ wow. this place is fancy as shit. a white marble floor, with a fog-like effect that makes it look like clouds. deep blue walls with glowing stars. and a... heart? shaped bed? that looks like an open shell. ]
