"No problem-" Charlot called out to her as she climbed. He took a step back, turning to Wing Ting.
"She's pretty good a'that, eh?" He tilted his head, looking at the bubble wand. "So.. what is'it y'do?"
He heard the clicks from above, then the swish as the silk was dropped down and Lu soon followed. His eyes flicked to her, grinning a little at her question. He offered his hand out to her.
"Charlot M'Queen, and n'thanks necessary."

Wing Ting nodded exuberantly. "She's really good," She said, gazing up at Lucrezia. The girl didn't even register that Charlot had asked her a question until she saw that he was looking at her. "Hmm? Oh, my name's Wing Ting! I blow bubbles! See?" She held up her bubble wand for his examination. "They're pretty bubbles and stuff," Wing Ting said, hopping up and down.

"Lucrezia Falco," she replied, smiling for a moment before returning her attentions to the aerial silk she had finally rigged. She conducted a few wraps around her hands and feet and then pulled herself up into the air, pivotting around to look down at the two of them.
"I'd love to see some of your bubbles, Wing."

Charlot had to agree with Wing on that one. Lucrezia was good at the aerial thing. She climbed around so effortlessly, she made it look easy- not that he was in line to go up there anytime soon.
"Pretteh bubbles, eh? I'd like t'see em sometime... Oi've never seen bubbles that big b'fore." He smiled down at Wing Ting, then turned back to Lu as she climbed up the silks and moved to look down at them.
"Nice t'meet you, Miz Falco-" He glanced back at Wing Ting. "And y'too, Miz Ting.."

Wing Ting looked dubiously at her wand. "I dunno, sometimes it gets really spazztic. If you really want to see, I guess I maybe could..." Wing Ting paused, but she didn't need anymore persuasion. She scampered off a good distance away and clenched the hand holds, feeling the wand begin to vibrate. She smiled a bit, and watched the film form inside the wand's center. "Uhm..." She sort of waved it around a bit, and two very large pink bubbles broke off and floated into the air. Wing Ting watched them pop up on the ceiling with a feeling of pride. They were big.

"Bravo!" cheered Lucrezia, who was by now hanging upside down from her legs. twin lengths of colorful ribbon secured around her thighs. "Those were awesome, Wing! Do another, please!"
she tumbled further down the ribbon, catching herself a few feet above the mats and laughing. "It feels so good to fly again!"

Charlot stepped back to clap, watching as Wing Ting produced a large set of bubbles. He was impressed, since he'd never seen such a feat.
"Wow... " He grinned, noticing the flying like movements Luc took as she swung around the ribbons and swept back down toward the mat. "So.. you're the aerialist, then? And.. you're magic is bubbles-" Charlot smirked, thinking they had quite the talent and show for themselves. "Not bad."

Wing Ting blushed as Lucrezia cheered, looking at her feet shyly. "You're so much awesomer than my bubbles, Lukie," She said, her voice filled with admiration. It was hard not to be admiring of a girl who could lie suspended in air by only two itty bitty bits of ribbon. Wing Ting shuddered at the thoughts. "Well, I'm not really magical or anything, it's just science and stuff, not really impressive," Wing Ting insisted whenn Charlot had complimented her. "Mr. Charlot, what do you do?" She asked, as the thought struck her. She was curious to know, partly, and partly because she wanted to take attention away from her bubbles. She did blow another one, though. A blue one. It was sort of lima-bean shaped.

"Yep," replied Lucrezia, smiling at Charlot. She was begining to spin slowly in the air, still suspended by her legs. She then watched another one of Wing Ting's bubbles foat up towards the ceiling.
"When you come from a place without science," she intoned, following the bubble's path with her eyes, "Everything is extraordinary. Stop downplaying yourself, Wing. Amazing is in the eye of the beholder."

Charlot nodded at Lu, agreeing with her completely. "T's true, amazing is in th'eye of the beholder. Oi, for one, c'never blow bubbles like that." He shrugged a little, flashing Wing a smile.
"What do oi do? Well, right now oi play with whips. Gradually oi hope to throw knives and the lot, popping balloons and all that." He blinked, tilting his head. "We should practice sometime Wing Ting- you blow the bubbles and oi try t'pop em."
He noticed Lu spinning above them and looked up. "Oy, you ev'r get dizzy up there?"

Wing Ting blushed and mumbled something incoheret, idily blowing another bubble. Any other time, she would have let Lucrezia and Charlot use her bubble wand. They could see how easy it was, then. But she couldn't do that now, because if they broke it, Wing Ting would be out of a talent, and that wouldn't be a good thing. Wait, what was that?
Practice together?
Wing Ting nodded. "That would be soooo cool," She agreed seriously. "I need to practice, anyway." Wing Ting glanced up at Lucrezia and swallowed, forcing down bile. She wasn't up there. She was fine. She just needed to breathe.

"Dizzy?" Lucrezia repeated, trying to remember such a time. Yes, back when she had been very small she used to feel sick. But not in a long time.
"Not recently," she replied, ungracefully dropping to the floor and waving at Wing Ting and Charlot. "No need to let me keep you two from practicing your acts! Don't mind me! Go on!"

"Er, oi meant later... not right now." Charlot waved his hands, shaking his head. He wasn't THAT good with the knives to trust himself throwing them toward the little girl.
"Oi still 'ave a ways t'go practicin with the blades before oi trust meself to work with others... " He smiled, shrugging a little. "Pe'haps in a couple weeks, hmm?"

Wing Ting looked up at the man, all her eagerness popping like one of her delicate bubbles. "Oh. Alright. That's okay. I guess." Then she bit her lip. "But maybe, I could blow bubbles and you could pretend to throw knives at them? Or even imagine that you were doing it! That's pratically the same thing, isn't it, Lukie?" She turned to the older girl for support, though she was dizzying at her antics.

Lucrezia paused for a moment to look at Wing Ting.. upside down. Her face was blank for a moment until she realized what the question was.
"No, it isn't really," she replied with as much of a shrug as she could manage.
She thought silently for a moment, feeling blood rush to her head.
"What if you let them float far enough away from you that he couldn't possibly hit you? Like, some special long-lasting bubbles or something?"
