Mallory<br/><strong>Place within Hierarchy:</strong>Elizabeth's Talent<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Act/ Trapeze Artist<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Chloe's Private Room<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>This (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=51680918)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kep<br/><hr/><br/>The tension was palpable all around them, and she was not sure how to make him feel any better. For once, she was completely stumped on social etiquette. It was a delightful and also frightening experience. When he smiled at her, a small one graced her lips as she looked at him with clear expectation in her eyes. More than anything, she wanted to simply dive into conversation but she did not wish to come off as rude. Luckily, Kep seemed to have the same intentions although she could not be sure if he simply wanted to escape her presence quickly or not.<br/><br/>His first question caused her to glance down at her hands along with her dress. Chloe was not sure how to exactly answer the question without outright calling Erin some type of atrocious name. “I have never been in that type of situation before in my life. I know that I am not the most popular on the train, but no one has ever been that way with me.” Her blue eyes rose from her hands to look into Kep’s dark ones. “I knew it was not a good idea to check on her this morning, but I did not wish to just walk away. Something horrible could have happened to her. I suppose I just made matters worse since my presence offends her.” A meek smile curved her lips upward as she tried to make light of the situation.<br/><br/>“I suppose I learned something today. How to remain calm. Although it did not help much when Erin and Olaana kissed each other.” Her eyes widened in horror as she realized how she might sound to him. “I do not mind it like that. It was just unexpected. In the public. The kiss. I mean.” Her teeth sank down in her lower lip as she felt her face flush with color. She became quiet then thought about his next statement. Things were off in the circus. Stuff always seemed crazy but with the way Kep spoke it seemed like there was imminent danger. “Of course,” she stammered out quickly. “I hope you will be careful as well.”
