(http://www.polyvore.com/lexie/set?id=51900953)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Elizabeth<br/><br/>Lexie chewed her lower lip idly as Elizabeth spoke of the responsibility that leading the clowns would entail. It was almost enough to make her recant her desire; almost. She smiled softly and shifted her fingers idly though her hair before she began to speak. "When I joined the Circus I wanted nothing more then for this to be my life. I admired both you and Kink with the wonder of a small child, sometimes I think I still do." She said with a light laugh looking happy and at ease an simple smile curling her lips, "I used to look at you two and tell myself one day that would be me. One day I'd learn enough from Kink and earn enough or your trust and respect to move up in the circus and be one of the leaders. i wanted it more then anything then. I think that's what made me so good in the beginning, that urge to prove myself to you and Kink both."<br/><br/>"But the longer I was here the more comfortable I got in my role. That ambition faded and other things came to light. I got to know you and Kink and the though of displacing him from his role became shameful. Why would I want to hurt him like that, because that would be all he'd see me replacing him." She grew quiet for a moment her gaze far away as if she'd become lost in thought. "I don't want to replace him now, nor hurt him." She said quietly after several minutes, "But if it weren't for the way I feel about him I would have taken your offer last night in a moment. Now in the light of day knowing I can never really have him and it's better to just move on and pretend I never felt this way I think I should think of myself for once and I want this. This is my family, my life, I want to serve the circus in the best way possible and I think this may be it." She concluded softly leaving it up to Elizabeth to decided if she would give Lexie the job or not.<br/><br/>Lexie giggled a pure sound of girlish delight, "Oh I want a man, tall and broad shoulders." She said closing her eyes imagining such a man, "Someone who will chase me." She said sounding pleased by the very thought giving herself a decisive nod a smile playing on her lips. She knew she was distracting herself from the regretful pain of having to give up on Kink even if it was for her own good but that's what she did. When things were ugly, or too much to handle she distracted herself with things that would make her smile.<br/><br/>When Elizabeth said she didn't need to thank her Lexie just shrugged a hint of laughter lurking in her eyes, "Ok it's a deal, you put up with my erratic outrageous behavior and I'll keep you young with no wrinkles or grey hair in sight." She said giggling brightly. she kept laughing as Elizabeth joked about Lawrence and Lexie was half tempted to ask about the man who twisted Elizabeth into knots but for now held her tongue. They were laughing and having fun, no need to ruin a good moment with something that would most likely upset Elizabeth though she vowed silently to watch her mistress closely. She didn't want to interfere but she loathed to have Elizabeth upset over a man who seemed to be utterly care less about her feelings.
