Stryker seemed rather pleased with his attention and he was pretty sure that Delaney was
surprised when he hugged her back even if it was just with one hand. There was a time when he
would just....stand there and not really react but he had gotten more comfortable with her. There
wasn't really many people that the wolf didn't like. Apart from maybe Axel maybe the wolf had
gotten that slightly dislike from Nier. His eyes flicked back towards the brunette as he let his lips
curl up into a small smile.
"I am glad to hear that you are doing alright. You know I worry about you and the others."
The red head gave Lana a small shrug. "There's really no need to worry about me. I'll be fine." he
replied he was pretty sure he had managed to hide it from her when he had started to fade and
he was pretty sure that he could do it again should it start to happen again. he had survived all
this time it would be a shame to.....Fizzle out like that right? letting out a small sigh He was
pretty sure she might have caught a glimpse of Axel she looked almost relived after all. That was
a clear indication in itself. That did bring up an interesting question though. "Is Axel really that
unpleasant." he questioned raising an eyebrow sure. Nix didn't really care too much to talk to
him unless he was spoken to but he didn't seem like a bad guy just a little....Over the top in
some aspects.
"Thank you, the outfit helps draw attention, which helps in my performance. I just need to have Dru do something with my hair before the show starts. I just hope I can find her again."
Raising an eyebrow he couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "I'm surprised that you have trouble
gaining attention." he replied no doubt Delaney had her own little fans. Being in a circus was as
close of being a celebrity they could get and at times they have people that would come
everyday just to see a specific person or act. He felt her hand move to his arm and let out a
small sigh. "You shouldn't do that Lana." he commented unsure of what else to say about it.
Needless to say as she gave him a little energy he flooded it back into her. "You shouldn't worry
so much." At least he knew he could count on her should something go wrong. That was always
good to know.
"Why yes I do actually. What if we told the story of Peter and the Wolf?"
He thought for a moment. Well that could be interesting. Nodding lightly. "That sounds good."
Nix really did have a lot of trust for the brunette. Because of their duo act. She was most likely
one of the closest people to him. Although the question of him overworking her. He looked at
least a little concerned she did have her own act to do as well. At least he didn't have to worry
about that now. She would let him know if she needed a break. That was good. She seemed to
get worried at the appearance of Mary though since the more she spoke the paler Nix seemed to
get. If that was even possible since right now he kind of looked like he had seen a ghost.
" rain....kept.....awake"
Well.....Phoenix could take that as a no Emily did look rather perky today. Even if she was using
him pretty much as a human shield. he glanced back towards her for a moment unsure of how to
make her feel a little more comfortable at the moment....If he couldn't even do that with himself
right now what chance did he have with Emily. Delaney seemed to have quietened down a little
he was sure she was....observing more that anything. Emily wouldn't really been that much
assistance since she was shy but things only seemed to get from bad to worse.....The Twins,
Jamie and Abel. If that didn't spell bad news he didn't know what did.
”Hey Nix!”
”Who is the pretty lady?”
Nix's eyes narrowed slightly. This could only end.....well badly. The seemed happy to see him
either that or it was just the thought that they were going to have some of their cruel fun. Now it
usually wouldn't bother Nix all that much because.....well he wasn't really one of their main
targets but right now it was most likely hard not to be as pale as he looked. Well he was pretty
sure they were talking about Mary. Since they had seen Delaney and Emily before so they
wouldn't be asking who they were. "Mary Victoria York. The Duchess of York." He replied with a
shrug almost like it was no big deal. Even if she hadn't told him directly someone like him would
know something like that. Or at least he would guess it would be common knowledge. James
and Abel didn't seem to be finished there though. They snatched the picture.......SNATCHED
THE PICTURE! At least that had broken him out of his stare. God It was uncanny He let his
eyes trail away from Mary as he dig his hands into his pockets.
”Hey, rude! Don’t grab. What are you, four?”
”I just wanna look. The guy looks familiar.”
”But it’s obviously the girls, looks she’s even in the picture. Give it back.”
Murder? Was murder an acceptable punishment maybe the twins were trying to push him like
they pushed a few other people and at the moment due to the circumstances it was working. He
took a deep breath At least they weren't being well too....conspicuous with the picture it would
have been bad if they had said something more about it. They wouldn't do something like that as
much as they enjoyed pranks. They just liked getting under peoples skin. Seriously....You look
with your eyes not your hands that was certainly something the twins should know by now.
Maybe he should start carrying one of those water spray bottles. That would be amusing. At
least he had been snapped out of trance he seemed to have been in staring at Mary. It was hard
to believe his eyes for a moment. She must have thought it was well weird now....Maybe the was
the best thing though. He might have just felt a little bad when he told her he wasn't related to
Wesley. She looked slightly....disappointed. But he was telling the truth for the question she
asked.....He wasn't related to Wesley, he was Wesley. It wasn't too long before she was
blushing though. Had he said something....to do that.
"Really? Well you do look extremely like him. Do you believe in reincarnation Sir? Because I think you might be his. Which is in a bit romantic. I've been told that I am very much like Mary duchess of york. It'd be just...really like one of those stories where two reincarnations fall back in love. Oh talk about a story to"
"Oh my where are my manners. I am rambling, sorry. I tend to go off when I talk about them. They are one of the most romantic stories i've ever heard."
Oh god Oh god she was going back to that. Lightly he shook his head. Okay maybe facial
features but he could just play that off. Giving off a light shrug. "Not really." he replied "I just don't
see it." Phoenix commented "I mean my hair is red and its hard to tell anything like that with
my piercing." He commented. Yep that was the excuse he was using. It was poor but he just
couldn't think straight right now. She then hit another of his heart strings. ******** ******** ******** not
good. Reincarnations eh? Well obviously she was one. Not just her looks it seemed her
mannerisms as well. she was so much like his Mary. Watching as her cheeks seemed to
darken a little more. She even seemed to have a twinkle in her eye as she spoke about it. The
same kind of twinkle he remembered when she received a gift from him. God he could
just....Melt. This wasn't good at all. At least the attention was brought away from him for a
moment.....Thank you Emily.
"Hello Miss. My name is Mary Victoria York. This is Miss Peterson my governess. May I request your name miss?"
"Yes, Nix, who is this pretty lady?"
"Be careful that is a family heirloom and if it breaks it cannot be replaced. So please please be careful. And one should ask before lifting a painting. Its manners"
Whoa. Well this wasn't good he wasn't exactly sure what the twins were trying to do and it
seemed that Miss Peterson pretty shocked. She looked horrified. At least Jamie had some
sense in that head of his. "Its not a picture as you know it Its a painting. You can see the brush
strokes." he commented hoping that would make the twins be a little more careful plus he
needed a reason as to how he knew it was a painting and the brush strokes one was perfect
right? At least it was returned by their puppet. Thank god for that. It seemed like things were
only going to be getting worse for him though. Mary seemed to be going into more detail about
the picture. It certainly felt strange coming from someone else.....someone alive no less.
"Yes, in the picture it is Mary of York she was married to Wesley. I have been told I look and act much like her. She was a firecracker, that is for sure. Even though she had lived in the 1600s"
Well that was something he hadn't shared with the circus. That he had been Married when he
was alive. So he was pretty sure the twins, Delaney and Emily would be surprised to hear it. Not
only that but the fact that this woman was not only a spitting image of his Mary but shared the
same name. it was certainly a shock to him. But she did make a point that might have scared
him that much more. People said that she not only looked like her but she acted like her too. If
he didn't know that then it was going to be apparent that what she had said was indeed true. The
bob on Abel's head followed by her words.
"Now we are all good. If you were older, such as the Wesley doppleganger over here I would have demanded jewelry and chocolate but since you are young you get this. Now Mr Abel do you know why it was wrong to pull rather than ask for the painting?"
She would....demand jewelry and chocolate. She was really making his mind swirl wasn't she?
She was.....exactly like her wasn't she? He could tell. She was really able to talk him into
getting her anything when he was alive couldn't she? His eyes flicked to the side only to see
Delaney. Well he was pretty sure she was surprised. Letting out a calming sigh Nixxy took a few
steps forward until he ended up standing just to the side of Mary. "I'm going to have to depart.
Hopefully you will be entertained." He commented although he didn't leave her without a small
peck on the back of her hand. What exactly was he going to do now? He needed to speak with
Alice. maybe it would be best to head to her trailer right away.
"Nix, dear, would you like to come to my tent for a little until you are feeling better? You are looking worse then you were before, and I think you should rest a little before the show starts."
Lightly raising his hand giving Delaney a wave as she spoke. he didn't really turn around but he
did give a reply. "No I'll be fine. No need to worry. I'll just like....lay down in my trailer for a while."
Yep he was running....Hightailing it in the other direction to hide. But first a trip to Alice's trailer.
That sounded like a good idea. Slowly making his way over he lightly tapped on the door since
he didn't really want to burst in she could be doing....Well anything. Getting changed Showering
ect.
