The shewolf narrowed her eyes as she watched the other female approach her. One thing that never changed over the years was her innate dislike of human females. Something about them just didn't sit well with her. She didn't openly growl or show teeth but from her body language you could tell that she wasn't exactly in a "friendly" mood, hardly ever was these days. Were she a younger, more openly hostile wolf she would have bitten that hand the moment it came near her muzzle. I don't need your hand to know what you smell like. While she wasn't living completely feral that didn't make her a domesticated animal you could just up and approach like a wayward street dog. The moment she felt something trying to get in her head, she glared, wide eyed and threatening at the girl.

Hannah had expected a curiosity, an interest, in the mind of the beast, but the fire and rage that filled the wolf's mind and heart were more than magnificently impressive. She drew back her hand, subtly taking hold of the air a few inches around the wolf. The wolf would not be able to sense her actions, but if it tried to attack, she could use her grip to incapacitate it, hopefully. A simple defensive gesture.
She slipped out of the wolf's mind as gently and effortlessly as she had entered.
"I mean no harm, my dear. An Oracle, simply impressed by the majesty before her. I have only heard of the varulfur in stories, forgive my awe. I never thought I would see one in person." She gave a gentle smile, her glazed eyes passing over the wolf.

Caught up in conversation with his boss, Banri had taken a moment to become aware of the situation unfolding in one of the far corners of the main tent as The Oracle tried to approach what looked like a staggeringly large wolf. The creature visibly did not want to interact with the young woman. With its ears pricked straight up and its muscles made rigid along the spine, the animal looked to be minutes away from snapping at her. Already jogging to the pair, Banri threw a rushed statement over his shoulder. "Ah, sorry! Hold that thought, Stella."

Once he was closer, he slowed his pace to a cautious and careful saunter, bending at the knees to diffuse some of the tension. Its size was just that much more terrific from only a meter away, and at his crouched height, Banri's eye line barely made it to its chest. Despite the remarkable intensity of its round, brown eyes, Banri avoided looking too much at the wolf's face in an attempt to seem unthreatening. "Hey, friends," he greeted the both of them in a gentle tone and held out a little piece of baguette to the canid's nose. "You probably already had some breakfast if you're a part of our crew, but I'm sure whatever chow they gave you can't be as tasty as some fresh bread. Would you want some?" He watched for signs of agitation or fear from the animal before him, hoping it would take his offering.

Madeline smiled and slowed to a walk as she entered the main tent to get breakfast quickly. The dirty-blonde giggled quietly when she noticed Jia shoveling food into his mouth. With a shake of her head, she walked over and got herself a couple of slices of toast with plum jelly, along with a few strawberries. She never ate a lot for breakfast, and she had to make sure she was ready for whatever they were doing that day. Madeline looked around before walking over and sitting a little ways away from everyone. Looking up, Madeline froze at the sight of a large wolf, almost the size of Beau, standing along the side of the tent. She was never very fond of the creatures and having a giant one around slightly scared her.

Varulfur. The moment she heard that word the shewolf was at attention, looking around at the others in the tent to see if they had been listening. She just had to drop the V-word, out loud, in front of the entire circus crew. Being a varulfur tended to imply a few things, first and foremost that she was more than just an unusually large wolf. It didn't look like anyone had heard the girl's words, save for the shewolf. And I will likely be the only one you ever see, she thought to herself. Her kind were few and far between in this era and it was not a subject she wished to dwell on. She simply replied with a quiet huff but she had relaxed somewhat. The girl would need more than flattery and mind powers if she wanted to impress the shewolf.

Then she saw the boy approaching. Her first thought was maybe he had heard the other girl name her as a varulfur. She couldn't exactly talk her way out of a situation like that, not without making it even more obvious that she wasn't a normal animal. When she saw the bread she realized, Oh thank gods he's just trying to give me food. She eyed him over, then eyed the bread. She half contemplated just biting down on his whole hand and past the wrist, not in a way that would seriously injure the boy, but enough to warn him against putting things near her face. It could be good practice for the whole "terrifying beast" act she'd have to put on later. In the end she figured it was best to just behave herself for now and in one fell motion took the bread and swallowed it down.

being a self-sufficient person and not used to anyone else taking care of her since her dad's passing, stella was quite flustered by such a simple gesture. she looked up at banri with wide eyes of shock. when he said to eat, only then did she break out of her trance and looked away quickly. the fluffy and layered croissant had a nice buttery flavor to it and the eggs warmed her insides. before she could answer banri's question about todays plans, he ran off to see the whole drama occurring nearby. stella turned around to see the whole thing.

stella wasn't terribly afraid of nattmara because she was aware of nattmara was and this circus was a place of protection and safety for her. to her knowledge, no one else in the circus knew about what the "she-wolf" actually was. what did hannah do to anger nattmara... she thought to herself, a bit suspiciously but also curiously. her attention then shifted to banri who offered nattmara some bread. for him to approach a large, angered she-wolf without any fear and peacefully, it was really brave of him and really showed off his ability to work with animals. when nattmara took the peace offering, a small smile appeared on stella's face, pleased with how things turned out. banri had proved himself well and nattmara showed she could work in the circus well. this was the best test of skill, having an unexpected event and they had handled it well.

the tent was now lively, with many people gathered around. it was time to begin the day, the late comers will get their share of scolding. stella clapped her hand once to shift everyone's attention to her and smiled. "good morning everyone! hope everyone slept well because today's going to be a little bit of an action filled day. you will be showing off your skills to everyone, but also will be assessed on these skills. do not worry, it is only a method for me to understand where everyone is and what skills to build on in the next two weeks. everyone will be assigned a unique test for their abilities and allowed to prepare to perform individually in front of the rest of us. i will decide which order everyone goes, it will be random. here's the list with your tasks, please pass it around. i will help each of you set up and show you where your things are to work with."

the list went as follows: (some things have been revised, please check your assignment once again)


madeline (and beau): create a short program displaying difficult tricks, music included

banri: get a domestic cat to listen and do tricks, then work with nattmara to create a short program

nattmara: work with banri to create a short program

felix: hit 5 different targets, different locations, and 3 moving targets, points given off of accuracy

li junhui (carlos): create a short program showcasing difficult tasks and positions

kannika: create a short program showcasing abilities, maybe do some fire eating

jia: will be in charge of handling the music, lighting, helping others while they perform their tasks, and assisting stella

guenivere: escape hand cuffs, then locked chains from head to toe, and finally a strait jacket, will be timed on top of the ability to escape

gabriel: hypnotize jia, then stella

julian: create a short program showcasing tricks and fulfill one of stella's request

hannah: read stella, preciseness and accuracy count

luke: create a short program showcasing abilities

luke had arrived late. he could plainly see that at least. everyone was gathered around the main tent, and they were all discussing the program for the day. luke strolled into the scene, sort of nervous about meeting new people. as a necromancer, he tended to give life, and not interact with it. but nevertheless, he caught up to the tent and looked around. there were many people here, and he felt overwhelmed. but he gave himself a mental pep talk. luke, come on. these are just people. you had to deal with those before. and so luke walked up to the woman seemingly in charge and smoothly extended his hand.

luke collins's the name. he coolly said. my apologies for being late. what're we up to? luke asked, looking at the woman intently, remembering her features. his palm was sort of sweaty, but it was too late to take it back. instead, he just awkwardly glanced around, waiting for a response which seemed hours long.

Nattmara seemed more relaxed now, although if it was because she decided she didn't hate Hannah as much, or because she enjoyed the snack, or a fein, Hannah could not tell. She was tempted to crawl back into the beast's mind to find out, but decided against it: A creature so ancient and powerful being able to detect her telepathy? Of course!
Hannah was truly impressed, however, but turned away from the wolf when Stella started talking. Once again, Stella was handing out pieces of paper with words on them, as if Hannah could gain information that way. Luckily, the Oracle already new what her assignment was, and she had already gained the information earlier.
"Are you able to read?" She asked the wolf-shifter, "I can ask someone to tell you what your assignment is if you cannot."

Ooooooh someone's going to hypnotise me? Cool!
Jia looked around the members of the tent, unsure of who Gabriel was. Better watch out, he could be hypnotized when he least expected it!
He shoveled the last of his breakfast into his mouth, and still with full cheeks, went to fill a disposable cup with black coffee. He would have to talk to some of the others before the show, figure out where they wanted their lights, what kind of music they wanted, the like. This was going to be fun, he decided.

Banri could barely stop himself from pumping his fist in celebration as the wolf gingerly plucked the morsel from his fingers, its hot breath puffing against his knuckles. However, he made sure to keep his excitement in check, uninterested in aggravating his new friend. Still, he couldn't help the grin that bloomed on his face and resisted the urge to affectionately ruffle the canine's fur.

Despite what Banri would expect, Stella seemed unbothered by the creature’s presence in the tent, so Banri figured that he wasn’t meant to bring it back to the pens. Instead, he decided to check out what his tasks for the day would be, and with a nod to Hannah and the wolf, he trotted over to look over the list that Stella had been holding.

Immediately, his mind was alight with ideas upon finding his name amongst the roster. Banri has worked with cats before, domestic and otherwise, but he's found that success usually depends on the individual. Some are particularly food motivated, and other's simply seek to please, but most often, they perform only for the benefit of themselves. Nevertheless, Banri has never been one to shy away from a challenge, and he already had an action plan detailing how to work around their feline stubbornness.

Madeline looked through the list and smiled at what she had to do. She wasnt going to be able to create a new routine between now and her demonstration, mostly because of Beau, but she would be able to use one of her routines from her competitions or one of her brother's. Madeline hoped there wouldnt be anymore announcements because she hopped up from her spot and went out to get all of the tack ready for Beau and to decide what she was going to do. Madeline hoped she would do well when ot came down to actually doing her routine.
