Esther was amused at what Wash was saying. She returned towards the front of her cage, peering at the human male. "You speak very wise," she said softly, her voice inked with enchantments. It let a person relax and feel very...attracted. But what Wash spoke of, well, Esther couldn't process in her mind. Were there others of her kind? Esther couldn't tell, she never knew of any creatures like her since she was found by Jimbo with very little memory. She didn't even have a name, or well, didn't remember it. But being apart from her master seemed fatal. She couldn't think of any other life other than here. "But what do you mean by servitude?" She had asked quietly, lingering on her decision to keep speaking to this human. "You should be mistaken if you think we're here as servants," she added, sitting closer to the bars.

"I've not enough time to think of a proper word," Wash murmured to her, stepping closer. He often spoke quietly, and didn't want to have to repeat himself. "What are you here as? From the cages, it would appear it's not as friends."

Esther pondered as a word. She tilted her head to the side to think. Her bright eyes were focused on Wash, watching him. When he got close, she reached out for him. To touch him, probe his mind. Just to see what he was thinking. And maybe because she was curious as to what his skin felt like. Little things like that just made her curious. Esther finally failed in her attempt to reach him and sat back. To think of a word to explain why she was here? She bit her lip, the nymph still in deep thought. Yet she finally found a word and smiled at the thought. She bent closer to the bars, towards Wash, whispering one sweet word. "Home."

He smiled a little, and moved closer to Esther, leaning against the cage. "Can you explain that to me? How has this place become your home?" He was curious. Esther sounded like she had a good story. But then again, Wash tended to think almost every story good.

Seran smiled at Beck, in a sweet way. "You believe now... I am real. I am an Asha Ki'Lin, which means 'spirit of the Ki'Lin'.... my kind... well, nobody has seen any in a long, long time... so I guess I'm rare... or maybe, the last one left..." she murmured, thinking. Naturally, she seemed to know about her kind, but not where they were or what they could do. Or why she was all alone or where she came from.

Beck nodded slowly. "Oh," he muttered this small word. He stared at this female with disbelief. An Asha Ki'Lin. He had never heard of anything of the sort. Yet here she was living proof of its exsistance. He began to question society and anyone he had met that could be any creature. These things exsisted. He turned and stared at the creatures in the other cages. So they were....real? He looked back at Seran. "What time does the show start?"

Seran tilted her head, an odd but rather cute habit of hers, thinking as she looked in Jimbo's direction. "It should be starting soon... that man over there is the Beast Master... Almost all of the.. creatures will be performing most likely, " she replied, turning her attention back to the blond man, gesturing in Jimbo's direction with her tail.

Esther was shocked. This human was very remarkably up close. However, his question hit a nerve and she bit her lip. She shifted in her spot. "This place is welcoming and offers me shelter. People like me here. I can be myself here. But other than that, I feel I can't tell you how I came upon here. That'll be for you to decide," she said in a whisper with a smile, her voice all the more alluring. Once more, she reached out. "Can I touch you?" Esther asked. She not only wanted to read what he thought but touch his brilliance. She also wanted to touch his skin. Of course, Jimbo would never allow her to touch anyone without permission which was why she asked first.

If Wash was perplexed by this request, he didn't show it, simply extended his hand to her. He was, truthfully, a little curious about her, about all the curiosities, really. Wash also couldn't help but think of Oaki behind him, about her cuteness compared to this woman's.

Esther smiled ecstatically. She leaned closer, her arm slipping through the bar. Her nimble fingers reached for Wash's forehead. She already felt the warmth his skin rediated centimeters away from his skin. She was about to have her fingers brush his forehead when the sudden movement in the cage next to hers caught her attnetion. She jolted back.
"You know probing minds is always a bad thing Esther. Even if the human complies," Atlas said coldly. He stood in the closest corner to Esther's and could even slip into hers if he wanted to. But the cage was the safest place for him. Atlas had to scold Esther. He knew messing with humans was bad and to probe one's mind was kind of sad. He also knew that if Esther was to probe the mind of a human's, she'd turned Wash into a cucumber. An Esther-obsessed cucumber at that. From past experiences, Esther had did this frequently. And she was always forced to turn them back and erase the memory of that ever happening. Which was dirty business. Esther was already reminded she couldn't do that to people, as told by Jimbo.
Esther pouted. She'd listen to Atlas and took his word. She scooted from the cage's front submissively. "Sorry," she murmured, her face turning into an apologetic look.

He made a soft noise, eyes fixed on Esther, but he moved back. "There's nothing to apologize for," he murmured. "Can you tell me the names of all that live here?"

Esther nodded. She could do that much. But the temptation was still too great. She laid down carefully on her side. She then pointed to each cage respectably. “Gelo, Seran, Arian, Kyo, Atlas, Esther,” she said, pointing to herself. “You’ll get to see them more closely when the show begins,” she said, fingering a leaf absent-mindedly. Yet she was excited to show this man what her 'family' could do.

He smiled and nodded, although his eyes didn't stray far from her. The human took the woman of unearthly beauty from her cage, and showed her a life of freedom... Nothing but a whim, but he'd done far more on mere whim. Maybe he'd write something about it someday. He memorized her features for later description.

Jimbo, after leaving Seran's side, watched Esther and the human, gauging both their reactions to each other. He almost stepped in, but, thankfully, Atlas intervened. Smiling broadly, he moved towards the center of the ring and lept onto the platform, his own little stage. Lifting his arms above his head he exclaimed, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the show! If you'd please take your seats," He gestured to the array of chairs on the platform in front of him. He'd found it easier this way, so that he could take them directly to the cage he wished and, yet, they would be able to see every cage as the creatures exhibits, too, moved.
Oaki's head snapped up and she glanced behind her, they'd hardly made it from the gates. She'd wanted more time to look at all the creatures! Leaving her spot, the female moved carefully to the chairs, using the stairs provided to climb them and took one in the front row.

"The show is about to begin" Kyo muttered catching the ear of a few of the human's infront of his cage as they walked up into the stands. "Let the show begin" Kyo muttered to himself as he sat in his cage watching everything that was happening outside of his cage. His eyes falling on the Beast master as he slowly got to his feet and walking to the front of the cage.
