Brian laughed, shaking his head.  "Sorry Liz," he replied.  "Didn't recognize you at first.  I swear I'm starting to see things around here."  Before she could get worried he'd continue.  "I've been taking so many tickets lately everyone's starting to look like a piece of paper to me.  How're you doing?"  Obviously he was still taking tickets, processing people as they went in to see the show.  In the shadows behind the tent were a few of the kobolds, keeping an eye on Brian.  If she turned she could see them, and they'd wave at her happily.
