Alexa Saw Mab enter, and smiled to herself.  He was always one to draw the eyes of everyone in a room.  A trait she admired and found delightfully amusing.  Smiling she watches him come over, and chuckles when Bob asks if he should stand when Mab got close.  It was feeling more and more like the old days.<br/><br/>She wondered if it would ever be the same, or if too much time had passed for it to ever be the same.  Either way she doubted she would act any different.  She had, as a rule always stayed rather apart from everyone else, observing and keeping her own judgments to herself.  A deep pang of sadness enveloped her for a moment, being alone wasn't always the best feeling in the world.  But you couldn't get hurt by someone you loved, if you loved no one in the first place.  Shaking off the moment of melancholy that had enveloped her, she reminds herself that there was no use in feeling sad, not when there was a show to perform; and soon hopefully there would be.  Her smile became brighter just thinking about it.<br/><br/>all her equipment was on board the last laughs ship, and when she was safely in it, she was planning on devoting a lot of her time to practicing.  Which posed another problem...she would need an assistant to help her out...and she didn't know where she would find one with the proper knowledge to safely help her.<br/><br/>
