Immediately Vivienne felt the girl's pain, and put an arm around her shoulders in compassion, while waving off Alexa's comment as if it were utter nonsense.<br/><br/><strong>"Bah, zere is no need for such fears.  Even those of us who have been working all along, are undoubtedly lacking, and will need time to rehearse."</strong><br/><br/>Giving Alexa a squeeze, Vivienne backed away just enough to give the woman space.<br/><br/><strong>"Bezides, I am much too tired to even attempt a show.  Mab is crazy...Mab has always been crazy.  If David wants to perform, let him...we'll watch."</strong><br/><br/>And that was exactly how Vivienne felt.  Once they got back on the ship, got some practice time under their belts, there would be time to begin performing again.
