The boy smiled as he saw the crowd gather, swallowing the bread nearly whole, he turned to the crowd as he finished mopping. He turned on his charm, flipping his hair out of his eyes, looking through his bangs at the crowd and giving them his best gleaming smile.<br/>"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My show isn't quite ready to start, but I can't so no to my fans, now can I?" he said with a laugh. He clapped his hands together, turning them so the fingers of each hand touched his palms.

He placed two iron pots on the wood stove, and piled some old apples and some cinnamon into them. The boiling mix of mealy old apples and the fragrant bark was like heaven. There were a pair of small sconces on the corners of the stage out front, to light it at night, but with a pot of apples and spices placed over them, the smell was plesant and mysterious. He had a handful of grain as he watched them boil, cleaning the lab equipment from the flash mix he had made last night, and sweeping.
