Mallory<br/><strong>Place within Hierarchy:</strong>Elizabeth's Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Act/ Trapeze Artist<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Big Tent<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>This (http://www.polyvore.com/chloe/set?id=48565323)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kinky, Mariana. Lexie, Open<br/><hr/><br/>Something compelled her to look up from the table around the exact time Kep decided to make an appearance in the tent. He looked the same as always without some type of costume to make him stand out though it was not needed for him. He was ruggedly handsome enough to demand both male and female attention in just plain jeans and a shirt. Her eyes appeared to meet his for about a second before she glanced in the opposite direction. Yet still, it was hard not to notice the many clowns and other members of the circus who ate him with their eyes openly with no shame. To preoccupy her mind, she slowly pulled off the long black gloves from her hands. It was a simple action yet to those who did not know Chloe well, they might have thought it was her intention to make the gloves' removal sensual.<br/><br/>Without them covering her arms, she felt naked and exposed, but the brush of night air against her skin chilled and calmed her mind in a similair way to the shared spirit in the circus. It was foolish of her to feel naked since Lexie was prancing around the tent in nothing but paint. Pant. Every curve of her young figure from breasts to hips was displayed out for the tent's enjoyment.<em>Why would a man buy the cow if the milk is free?</em>These words of her mother echoed in her mind even though she did not wish to view the young clown in such a light. It reminded her of the night Elizabeth forced her to tryout for the trapeze in nothing but her undergarments.<br/><br/>Her mouth craved another sip of bourbon, but there were no empty glasses fo her to drink from at the table. Unlike Kay, she needed one since guzzling from the bottle seemed uncivilized. It did not surprise her when Kep decided to settle beside Elizabeth since the two seemed close to each other. How did Lawrence feel about that? How did she feel about it? The questions echoed unanswered in then faded off into the deep recsses of her mind. Kay's reaction to her touching the knife went mostly unnoticed until she felt the intensity of his gaze on her person. She held  his stare without feeling intimindated as a faint shiver edged itself down her spine. This was the reason she always decided to exchange words with him during their little runins with each other.<br/><br/>He managed to stroke the unending desire for danger deep within her. It was not a feeling she enjoyed from him yet its result was addicting. Chloe knew playing with him in such a way was dangerous, but it was a fatal part of herself which could not be quelled by societal rules. After all, she dare and court death to take her each time she jumped from one trapeze bar to the next during her acts. She performed tricks no other sane person would do in the air since the thrill of it ensnared her like a steel trap. Her eyes flickered over to Kep as she clasped her fingers together tightly.<br/><br/>When Kay spoke of dancing with her, part of her recognized it for a dare. He might as well said come dance with the devil. She could not stop the laugh which escaped her slightly parted lips in reaction. "Not tonight. I am afraid my feet are not suited for dancing. No need to despair. I have saved you from boredom since dancing with me is an ordinary affair unlike with some people." She lightly gestured her hand in Lexie's direction to make sure he understood who she vaguely referred to with her words. Her feet though were perfectly fine, but there was no way for him to see through her lie.<br/><br/>Soon enough, Lexie returned from her dance. It was the perfect excuse and time for Chloe to make her departure. "I am sure Kay has great dancing skills," she responded sincerely to Lexie. "One must have coordination in order to avoid falling in those type of shoes." Her nose wrinkled at the overwhelming scent of smoke as she rose from her chair with gloves in hand. "I'm going to get some air. Mariana make sure to dance a little tonight as well since we will be back to work in the morning." Wth that, Chloe walked over to stand at the opening of the tent as her eyes looked up to the open sky. There was no doubt in her mind the night willbring out the worst qualites of people since these parties could become...uncomfortable.
