Cheshire was mid way through a spectacular trick that involved a dragon made of fire that stretched the measly technology of the little news cart to its limit when Dumas sent him the message. Ever the showman, he worked it as best he could.<br/><br/>"Lady's and Gentlemen! and now the amazing multi-ball mirage!" he yelled as he pulled half a dozen little metal balls out of his pocket, no bigger then a large marble each. In the most spectacular manner he could, he tossed them all into the air, each one suddenly becoming like it's own miniature sun as they blazed with golden light. The balls met the dragon as it fell, and both seemed to explode in a blazing ball of glorious light. It was a spectacular display for a finale, and with a sudden whisp of air, Cheshire seemed to disappear.<br/><br/>Of course, he really hadn't, and anyone who had been playing really close attention to him before the show would see him looking quite normal again walking through the crowd. Anyone exceptionally perceptive might have noticed the metal balls had landed and seemed to disappear, each one creating its own bit of illusion. Cheshire, now it his suit, gave the news stand man permission to collect the coins that had been collecting in his cart for the show and slyly worked his way to Dumas again.<br/><br/>"I have a few toys set up now. One such toy is right to the left of the door, and the other..." He said, reaching into his jacket pocket to reveal a more traditional stun gun, the kind that actually shot electricity at someone. "is in case they don't like a subtle show."<br/><br/>As much as Cheshire grinned madly as he always did, internally he was a little worried. He was still confident in his Delectably Dangerous Dumas, this would mark the first time in a long time he'd had a physical confrontation, and the first time with someone so dangerous at that.
