Dahli didn't mind people being in her trailer, as it also served as her own little, albiet messy, art gallery. But she respected Hadrian's choice to stay outside and ducked in only to drop her wet paint brushes on her art table and came back out.
"Well, were should we go to first? Worker's quarters? The equipment trailer? Oh, that's always an interesting thing for new people. Hmm... how about the front guest area? Would you like to see where you'll be performing?" Dahli was looking everywhere but directly at Hadrian. Her voice was steady and confident but she still had trouble looking his way.

Hadrian laughed slightly.
"Lead the way, and I'll follow. I mean, I'm sure I've seen everything at least once, but having someone explain things to me wouldn't be a bad idea."
He had no idea what he was supposed to ask or do. He was generally just the type to go with the flow, and instruction rather confused him.

"Hmm... well, okay. I'll take you to the equipment trailer then. That place always amazes me, even now."
Dahli walked quickly, leaving it to Hadrian to keep up. She wound her way through the makeshift camp toward the end of the caravan. There before them was a plain, brown trailer no bigger than the others with wide double doors. Dahli reached up and with a bit of effort forced them open. The inside of the trailer was infinately bigger than the outside, a whole deluxe werehouse. Where the side walls should have been there were none, just endless space stacked with currently empty shelving for all of the circus equipment.
"The technology you can get when hopping worlds," Dahli said smugly.

Hadrian had no problem keeping up with Dahli, his long legs bringing him rather swiftly after her.
"Sweet mother of God..." he murmured as he looked inside, not daring actually step within for fear of being swallowed alive or something, "Damn spiffy, if I may say so myself." He simply stood there, ogling the odd inside of the trailer.
Huh. This circus was pretty nifty after all.

Dahli was excited to see Hadrian impressed with this. "One of the few things I love about being here is all of the interesting things you can pick up from traveling so much. You should come over and see my collection of art supplies sometime." Dahli's face flushed and she wrung her hands together under her sleeves realizing what she had just asked.

"Sure," Hadrian said without quite realizing what that meant, "I'd like to." He then paused and looked to Dahli, cocking his head at her reaction.
It took him a moment to put two and two together.
"I don't biiiite~" he parroted and laughed slightly.

Dahli could feel the heat rising off of her face and she couldn't seem to bring her eyes away from her feet. "I'm sure you don't... uhmm," even her voice was now reflecting her nervousness. "I really should be getting back to... my art... wet paint."
Dahli turned and started walking in the direction of her trailer very quickly. And for some reason the more distance she put between them the more confidence she gained back. "Mention me when you come up for a promotion!" she yelled back. And a little quieter she said, "And come by my trailer any time." But she half hoped she was now too far away to hear.

Hadrian did, in fact, hear. He smiled to himself and shook his head, beginning off in the other direction.
Maybe things were going to start getting better after all.
