Moshe Fairview's Story

Alynna:

Taking a deep breath she'd open her eyes and smile at Julius. Glad that he hadn't dropped her or even missed her. She knew he could do it. Her faith in him had proven valid. "I knew you could do it Leo." She'd whisper before kissing his cheek. Hopping out of his arms she'd raise her hands and bow. Grabbing Julius's arm she'd motion to him asking for a round of applause for the Lion Tamer. The crowd cheered and roared for both of them. Picking up her cloak that dropped on the ground she'd give one more bow.

"Thank you! You guys have been a great crowd!" She'd shout out before starting to walk off. Her performance was over, it was someone elses turn to perform.


Moshe:

Giving a un-tiger like meow he'd stand up and start to walk off, his blue eyes scanned the crowd for Synthia, not seeing her there, he'd huff and exit the same way Alynna was going. His nose picked up the scent of Synthia and he'd rush off, passing the blue haired woman and finally stopped where he saw Synthia. Shifting quickly, he'd sigh and pull the girl up in a hug. "You ok?" He'd ask her softly, his green eyes full of concern and worry.

Synthia was the light of the fire from the big top, she wondered if Alynna's performance went well she could hear the cheering so she assumed that it did go well. She rubbed her knee a bit wincing, she let out a long sigh and just sat there closing her eyes, she shivered again and wondered if she should head back to her caravan. Looking up at the big top again she saw the light of the fire die down so she assumed the performance was over, the cheering was louder. Wrapping her arms around herself for some warmth, it helped a bit since it was a cold night she heard a sound and looked around a bit.

Suddenly she saw a white tiger, recognizing the eyes as Moshe watching him shift back into his normal form she looked up at him. She was surprised when he pulled her into the hug, blinking she hugged him back "yeah, I just needed to find my knives" she saw concern and worry in his eyes when he looked at her.

Alynna:

Grinning from ear to ear she nodded at Nixie. "Of course I'll teach you..." She'd give a wink and playfully pet the younger girls head. "As long as you don't mind knowing my secrets...that should never be reavealed." She'd chuckle a bit and look around with a sigh. "Do you think Brink would want to go out later?" Her voice was low as she asked the question, unsure if Nixie knew of the date she'd offered Brink earlier. "I want to apologize to him for earlier." Her green eyes looked worried as she talked to the younger girl. Holding up her hand she'd stop herself, "Don't worry about that... er... good luck for the rest of the night." She'd tell the winged girl, before walking back to her Caravan.

Moshe:

Purring softly he'd nod and chuckle, "Did you like the performances?" He'd ask hesitantly, before nuzzling her affectionately. Glad that his ears and tail were free, and not hidden. Looking at the woman he'd sigh softly to himself. Plopping himself down he'd grin, "Wanna show me some of your knife tricks?" He'd suggest wondering if she felt upset about not being able to perform for a bit.

Synthia nodded "yeah I did" she hugged him tighter, adding a bit sheepishly "but I didn't like it when you left" smiling when he nuzzled her. Looking down at him, remembering "I should go tell Nixie that I can't preform tonight, I don't think Brink did" she smiled "than I'll show some to you". She sat on the box so she didn't lose her balance, she wondered what tricks to show Moshe after she told Nixie remembering that she should also tell Alynna that she didn't have to be in her performance since there wasn't going to be one.

Looking down at her feet she sighed slightly, swinging her legs a little bit playing with her long hair looking at her leg. Deciding to take her hair out of a ponytail, reaching back she took out both elastics and ribbons from her hair, putting them in her pocket. Shaking her hair loose she like having her hair down and not in ponytails, smiling at Moshe "well we should let her know and head back to the lake if you want to. We got all night" she got off the box, than started heading back to the big top hoping he would follow her there. Once she got there she went backstage and looked for Nixie, limping up to her wincing slightly before Alynna left " uh Nixie, I uh wont be able to preform tonight. I injured my leg, so sorry" she looked at Alynna "so that means sorry Aly you can't be in my show until next time I guess" she shrugged.

Moshe:

Following Synthia he'd purr, she looked so beautiful with her hair down. He'd listen to her apologize to Nixie and Alynna before picking her up, and carrying her to the lake. Giving a happy meow he'd set her down on the edge of the water, taking off his shirt and jeans, leaving him in his boxers. Stretching and arching his back he'd wiggle happily. "I'm so happy to be able to swim." He'd murmur as he knelt down to her level. His tail wiggled anxiously behind him. "Gonna Join me?" He'd ask giving her a soft lick on her nose, before standing back up and flexing showing off his smooth tan muscles, and abs. Turning he'd jump in the lake glad to have the water over his skin. his ears flicked and twitched as he shook his head, spraying droplets of water on the girl. "By the way, you look beautiful with your hair down." He'd add on with a playful smile.

Alynna:

She'd give a breif nod to Synthia, before eyeing Moshe and walking off. She'd make her way to her caravan and change out of her performance clothing. She hated wearing a corset dress. Sighing she'd sit down on the bed and look at her wall of pictures of places they travelled. One picture caught her eye. A picture of her and Julius outside of some town, she didn't remember. Closing her eyes she'd go back and remember that day.

Julius's wide green eyes were looking at her, he'd have an adorable young smile on his face. "Hey there Aly." He'd say giving her a bright and friendly wave. Alynna chuckled and waved back. "Julius!" She'd squeak out running to give him a hug. They laughed a bit more before walking into town together, two young teenagers ready to take on the world. "You know... your hair looks funny blue..." Julius would say as he licked his lollipop they had bought at some store. Alynna gave him a playful punch on the shoulder. "At least I'm not constantly smelling like a lion." She'd tease back pulling him into a hug. She was glad that Julius was her best friend. More like her only friend... but still he was her best friend. He'd stick his tongue out at her and pull her on the docks, "Hey... this is pretty." He'd say sitting down on the docks. "One day Aly... I'm going to be the best lion tamer there ever was...what about you?" He'd ask looking at her. Alynna smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, ignoring the scent of the big cats. "I'm going to be the most daring performer we have in the circus." She'd whisper closing her eyes. "Julius... we're going to be best friends forever right?" She'd ask looking up at him. "Ever and ever. I promise" He'd say with a smile wrapping one arm around her.

Alynna opened her eyes and gave a small smile. She remembered that day, and the promise he made. Little did he know, she cared for him more than she'd like to admit. She kept it to herself mostly because, she didn't want to compromise their friendship. He was the only one who was there for her when she joined the circus, he's the one who was there to comfort her when she missed her parents. She'd give a sigh and lay on her bed. What was she going to do? Shrugging she'd roll over and place her hand gently on her mother's necklace. "Mom.. I wish you were here to see me... I hope your proud of me." She'd whisper to herself, closing her eyes. Only the lion tamer knew about her mother's necklace and how important it was to her.

Brink Orpheus

Brink smiled more then happy when Spade got him what he needed. "Thanks." He grabbed hooked his leg around a beam and grabbed the large pipe before squirming his way back into the support. Quickly and efficiently he hooked it in and bolted it down. "There's one... Now for the other." Brink pulled out of the support and stood on the swing using his left leg he kicked off the platform and allowed the chair to swing him halfway across the tent to the middle chair. It was an annoyingly daring leap to reach it but Brink had done it enough times that he made it. The force of the jump also swung him toward the other side where the other platform lay. Brink swung his body up and onto the platform his feet half on and half off. He wobbled a little trying not to fall backwards but he luckily managed to steady himself. Looking over and down at Spade Brink smiled finally deciding to answer the white haired boys earlier question. "I'm ok."

Nixie Blue

Nixie blinked in surprise when Alynna began asking her questions that frankly... She did not know how to answer. Brink was a quizzical person. He had more secrets buried then allot of people. His eye... His scars... His feelings. He trusted few people even though he cared deeply for many. But it was too late. The risk taking girl had taken off. Blinking confused Nixie turned around to find Synthia addressing her. When the girl motioned to her leg Nixie stood wide eyed. "I-I'm sorry it's fine... The wing headed girl looked over at Moshe. "Take care of Alynna ok!" She huffed but smiled.

Synthia's eyes grew wide when he picked her up, blushing "it's fine Nixie, not your fault" she was able to get out before Moshe carried her off to the lake. She had to admit it seemed so romantic to be carried off by a cute boy, and to a lake at night all by themselves. She held onto him and nuzzled him, she honestly felt happy that she was able to be around Moshe grinning when she heard him meow. Taking off her boots and stockings "I am to" looking at him when he knelt down to her level, she smiled and nodded blushing a bit when he licked her nose "yeah I am" she looked up at him. She couldn't help but admire his muscles, she slid off her clothes down to her bra and underwear she didn't see a difference between a bkini and underwear.

She felt self conscious a bit though as she stood up, she laughed a bit when he shook water on her she blushed more when he said she was beautiful with her hair down. "Thanks, and you look cool with ears and a tail" she stood up and walked into the lake, shivering when the water touched her knee. She jumped into the water, standing up and hugged Moshe, smiling up at him.

Synthia looked up at him when he pulled her close, feeling his tail around her she blushed ferociously when he kissed her on the lips. She froze, she had never been kissed before her heart pounding now she hadn't thought that Moshe would ever kiss her she was completly unprepared for someone stealing her first kiss. Touching two fingers to her lips looking up at him, his eyes seemed to reflect the moon itself. , she felt light headed like she was going to faint. "I-It's fine" she blinked snapping back into reality, she looked at him when he pulled away from her unwrapping her tail from around her waiste. Watching him lower himself in the water, she almost fainted but instead lowered herself in the water, "y-you just stole my first kiss" she blushed more.

She moved closer to him, she could see some of his expression he looked cute when he blushed moving forward she hugged him of course she was still all blushy and what not. She nuzzled his shoulder than kissed his cheek "I-I kinda liked it" hiding her face in her hair she pulled back, hair floating around her.

Synthia pulled back a bit when he purred, looking into his beautiful green eyes she did like his kiss though even if she wasn't expecting it. Looking at his wild smile, suddenly bashful and nervous. Looking down at the water "d-do you often steal kisses from other woman than?" she wondered if he did, fidgeting slightly nervous about asking him that. Looking at him in time for him to nuzzle her nose and splash her. She Jumped a bit, not expecting it pursing her lips playfully she turned in the water following him with her eyes; lowering herself until just her eyes and nose were above the water. Tilting her head as she thought about it, blushing more when she thought about kissing him this time than she wondered why she was blushing so much.

Narrowing her eyes, raising her head a bit over the water whispering softly "this" she pounced on him, dunking him underwater briefly just before kissing him lightly on the lips under the water. Re-surfacing she couldn't help but grin triumphantly, not knowing why she did grin like that but she did. Listening to the music that drifted down to the lake were they were. Hearing laughing and cheers and people talking loudly. She could not make out any of the words though instead she turned her attention back to Moshe.

Wondering since he was cat if he could see better and hear better, she already suspected his sense of smell was stronger. Since he had been able to find her both times that night, letting out a breath she swam back a bit. Floating on her back now, looking up at the moon and the stars she felt happy; like really happy that she wassn't alone right now. She was used to being alone all the time, all the time wanting somene to be with her.

Julius gave a little snort at the reply, ruffling Derrick's hair into a rumbled mess in retribution. It was like a switch had been flipped in their relationship, one that had been terribly out of sorts an hour or so ago. No, that wasn't quite right; their relationship had been the slightest bit strained before that. On Julius' part, the envy had been digging at him for some while now, and now that he had some idea how long Derrick had liked him, he could only imagine how the younger boy had dealt with it. It had only come to a head tonight, but now that feelings had been discussed and things had been decided (for the most part), it was certainly like that switch had flipped, bringing them back to their usual companionable and affectionate relationship. And if things were just the slightest bit more affectionate now, touches less awkward, well, he certainly wasn't going to complain.

The peace and tranquility of the moment was broken suddenly by giggles and splashes coming from the lake. Apparently something was in the air tonight, he thought wryly, between the two in the lake- and he could see Moshe and Synthia now, tumbling about like the teenagers that they most certainly were-, his own relationship upgrade with Derrick, and who knows what else back at the circus. He turned away from the intimate scene playing out in the water, not really wanting to be a spectator of their shenanigans.

"Looks like our little spot's been found out," He said, a laugh hidden in his voice as he stood smoothly to his feet, brushing grass off of the bottom of his trousers. He held out his hand for Derrick to take, a natural motion that he had never given a second thought until maybe now. "Besides, I think you left your clothes in my caravan and I want to change," He explained with a smile, gesturing towards his gaudy golden vest. "Ready to go?"

Synthia looked at the shore when she heard something, she didn't really see much in the dark but having the moon helped her see shapes on the bank, she thought the voice sounded like Julius. Wondering why he would be on the bank, she pushed the thought away than wondered if Julius wondered if Julius would show her the lions tomorrow. Derrick was probably the small figure in the grass, truthfully she didn't know who they were though only had suspicions, looking at Moshe who had swum over to her she smiled up at him she didn't really catch that he said she was the only beautiful woman he knew. She pursed her lips a little bit "me?" she wondered what he meant by saying most beautiful feline ever. His whiskers tickling her cheek, she didn't focus much on keeping afloat and basically dunked herself under water. Resurfacing as she looked at him, moving her arms back and forth so she could stay there and not bob under water moving her legs back and forth a bit.

Tilting her head side-ways hoping that he would explain why he said that to her, she couldn't really picture herself as a cat. She wondered what she would look like as a shape-shifter but she couldn't really see it, so she pushed the thought out of her head and splashed him a bit with water. Swimming back a bit, feeling a fish against her leg she jumped a bit with a surprised face "a fish just touched my leg" quickly moving from that spot. Blushing a bit when she realized that she was acting silly because of a fish touching her leg, it just surprised her is all.

Synthia looked at him when dunked under the water, she wondered what he wanted for a moment but than it hit her. He was a cat so it was only natural for him to want fish, wasn't it? she thought it was anyways and tried to see him under water but she could not because it was so dark.

A huge tingle running up her spine when she felt his hand run up her leg, she squeaked and moved a bit completely flustered a bit. She blinked and stared at the fish he spat in his hand, mouth gaping open with complete and utter surprise also a little hint of curiousity. He had just CAUGHT a fish in his MOUTH she had never really seen that before, watching it flop in his hand before he tossed it to shore. Snapping her mouth shut, "thanks, and sure I love fish" she smiled at him warmly.

Hearing he might reveal a few secrets her curiosity was perked and she wanted to hear them,but she didn't want to pry them from him so she would wait until he would tell her. Even though she wanted to cling to his arm until he told them to her, she didn't know why but secrets always perked her interest and she liked hearing them.

"Okay, but I'll only hear them if you absolutely want to tell me them, and if you cook the fish" she smiled again, then she swam back to shore. Glad her leg didn't give her any issues in the water, she crawled back on shore obviously careful of her leg and sat down near her clothes. She would have to wait until she was dry and her bra and panties were dry before she put on her clothes, she watched the fish flop one more time before giving up and laid there.
