"Hm..." Harold scratched his chin in thought as he looked at the notepad. He then pointed to the Noh Mai dance and dug into his wallet. After counting the bills he held them out to Darla, "Thank you, young lady, for showing up to give us a wonderful performance. I am sure that everyone will enjoy it. There is a dressing room down the hall if you would like to put a costume on."

Isamu let out a heavy sigh, "The only other person that knows is Lark. None of the guard seven know. Im sure Ellra has an idea, she can read me so easily... but I am so afraid that Harold will brainwash Airi... he already has her believing that she belongs here. I just hope she never forgets that I am her father. She knows, but im sure they are trying to convince her otherwise. Im lucky enough they even let her call me her uncle... at least then I don't feel so far away from her." He watched as soem tears slid down Alice's face.

Alice's hand was warm on Isamu's arm. She may have been freezing but his body temperature was lower than that of a human's anyway, "Don't cry for me Alice," he told her as he took his scarf off and draped it around her shoulders, "It's a waste of time." He then turned away from her to stare off at something in the distance. "Your shivering, go on back inside, I don't wan't you getting pneumonia too. Im sure Tarik would be thrilled," he stated as he let out a small chuckle. it was a sad attempt at lightening the mood for sue.

When Airi, Damakos, and Jordyn entered the Celebrations Hall Isamu was no where to be seen. Airi frowned, "Where did he go!? He was right t-there!" She stated angrily as she pointed to the column where he had been. "He said he would be here all day!" The small girl then crossed her arms as she continued to sit atop Damakos' shoulders. Lucky for the other two, the small girl was not in the mood to throw a fit today. Mrs.Saiforro had had a long discussion with her the previous night, about being a proper young lady.

Seriously, who could expect such things from a three year old? At least she didn't eat mud or glue!
