Of course Sarava hadn't caused any troubles in the trailer. If it were just Ankita she was dealing with, she'd no doubt have re-arranged what she could in time to scampe back into the comfort of her hammock and watch as her familiar bumped into newly placed objects and cursed like no other. But since there was another she was dealing with, chances are he'd have time to warn her before she could give greetings to newly stubbed toes. Well, that, and she was far too tired to put effort into causing trouble.
Ankita scampered into her trailer. She reached under her bed to pull out a small folding table and a folding stool, and set them up betwixt her bed and the chaise lounge. She decided to give him the comfort of picking where he wanted to sit while she scurried through the contents of her dresser, trying to find her box that held all her cutlery, as well as to small dishes, and a larger one for seeds.
Laying out the the table, she began waving her hand in the air to motion him to come over. "Sit, sit."

Charlot watched her work for a few moments, before he joined her at the table. He set down the bags of food he'd been carrying, unwrapping them from packages and bags. He claimed a seat, looking around the table for a blade to cut the fruit with.
"Oi'll set some a'side f'Sarava-" He claimed an extra plate, putting a good amount of the fruit there for the Aye-Aye to have when she woke up or decided it was worth her time to investigate the loot they'd bought today.

Ankita sat down with a large grin on her face. Her sweet tooth really adored all things with sugar in it, including fruits. Her first target would be the litchi nuts, which her hands quickly searched for until she found the bag. She took a large handful for herself, holding one out in front of her.
"Do you know what makes these so wonderful?" Her fingers felt the texture of it's outside shell, rubbing it and began to peel it back. "So many people are so put off by it just because it looks like it will kill you." her fingernails continued to peel back the shell until she could feel the rubbery tissue that hid beneath it. She could still remember when she was younger and her parents would give her some as a snack. They were always one of her favorites. "And that just means more for me." She grinned, putting it in her mouth. She took her time eating away at it until she reached the large seed in the center. For a moment she still kept the seed in her mouth, sucking away at any light piece that still remained until finally grabbing for the seed bowl and spitting it out.
There was no doubt that many people who watched her eat certain things most likely viewed her as 'uncivilized'. But that was one of the things she liked about being blind - It meant she was relieved of trying to look a certain way. There was no point in trying to impress people when you couldn't really tell if there was anyone around to even try to impress.

Charlot raised an eyebrow, watching her eat the litchi nuts. He'd never seen them before, and was a little skeptical they were 'good'. The way Ankita enjoyed them, he had his doubts about his first assumptions.
"Well, oi won't steal em from y'then-" Was Charlot's amused reply. He found a knife, carefully cutting up slices of various fruits and setting them onto the middle plate. He informed her of what was there and went back to cutting, pausing here and there to eat a piece for himself.
"Oi don't think they grew back 'ome, kinda like Sarava aint' from nowhere near me 'place back in London." He shrugged a little, flicking his hat off and tossing it onto the chaise.
He was feeling a little better now that they were inside, out of the possible light from above. As long as he couldn't see it, he could fight it a little stronger.

She sat up in her seat, after having shoved a good few of litchi nuts into her mouth at a time. "Nono! Yoo Shood Twy Shome!" she attempted to mumble out of her mouth. She felt a tid bit sad over sounding as greedy as she came off. Litchis were very much something everyone was required to try at least once in their life.
Her eyebrow raised, she had no real idea where this "London" was, but it must be some far far place. She knew that Aye-aye's were fairly rare depending on what regions of her home place you traveled to, but there were still people who knew of them, even if they hadn't seen them before. But she assumed that everyone else at the Cirque must come from some far off place since none of them really did seem to know what Sarava was upon first meeting.
Ankita continued to be oblivious from what discomfort he might have been feeling. Though usually she was empathetic and capable of picking up on people's feelings, there were few moments in which she remained blinded to things that surrounded her. And one of those moments happened to be when she was eating.

"Tsk, It's a'lot more fun jus watchin y'eat em-" Charlot murmured, carefully peeling an orange. He glanced up with a snort as she shoved the litchi into her mouth, looking very much like a squirrel.
He reached across the table, taking one for himself. "Alright, oi'll jus try one." Charlot did as he'd seen her do, peeling it away before popping the inside into his mouth and chewing idly. It tasted odd, to say the least. "Mmm.. s'not bad."

Ankita snorted, almost wondering how rediculous she might look to him. But it was something she couldn't help. She did have slight tendencies of stuffing things into her mouth very quickly when hungry or in the presence of good food.
"See! They're good." She smiled at him, reaching for another.
Sarava had opened her eyes for a split moment and noticed the sight of fruits on the table. She made a slight movement to pounce for it, but before she could make her way out, she gave up and quickly went back to her nap.

"Mmhmm," He ate his fill of the fruit and bread they'd bought, picking at his desert idly once they'd finished with the 'main course'.
There was enough left for Ankita and Sarava to eat for a while without having to go out and get more. He figured it would last them until the circus left Gaia and traveled somewhere else.
He chatted casually with Ankita, something she was good at once you got past her initial shyness... which he'd done in the days since he started sleeping on the chaise.
It was a few hours later that he began to feel the strange prickling at the back of his neck, the start of a headache. Charlot sighed, offering her an apology.
"Oy, luv- Oi really need a smoke an a walk... " He stood. "Thank y'for dinner."

Ankita began to set aside some of the fruits to store for later and frowned somewhat when he stood to take his leave. She nodded her head slightly before turning around with the bowl full of seeds and rinds, throwing them out of the window.
"Have a good walk." she said quietly, holding the bowl infront of her as she turned it in her hands, feeling the slight indentations of patterns that covered it.

"Thanks," Charlot moved to the door, pushing it open and heading down the stairs. "G'night, Miz Anky'ta."
