Uberto has found himself in love. Problem is, Uberto is about as clumsy as it gets.

Prompt:
Venustus was not a shy hyena. When he was interested in someone he’d make it very clear. he enjoyed the game of romance, but he never wanted someone to misunderstand his feelings or be led on because that would only cause trouble. But when he wanted to impress a woman, Venustus would go all out. You see he was an excellent dancer. Either with a partner or alone, Venustus easily drew the attention of everyone around with his talent for dancing. His favorites were bachata and salsa, but he knew many different types of dancing, as long as there was a beat Venustus would dance. It was his passion, his talent, his favorite activity. And he was very good at it.

Many of the lions and hyenas around noticed, but not all appreciated his talent for dancing.
Some of the hyenas would sneer at him, saying he was making a fool of himself or that he was wasting his time when he could be hunting or something. But Venustus never let them ruin his dance, and most of the lions and hyenas had to admit, he was very talented.

Though, when he was trying to impress, he took it to another level. He mainly danced just for fun, for the pure joy of expression through his dancing. But when there was a pretty lady he’d taken an interest in, he put all of his admiration for her into his dance. It was a display, a show, just for her. Every step, every turn, every flourish, showing off to her just how much emotion he felt. But in some ways, dancing for his date was also a test. You see while he danced he would watch for her reaction. Was she pleased? Entertained? Did she nod her head or tap a paw along with the rhythm? Or did she roll her eyes and sneer like some of the other hyenas. Even subtle expressions could tell a lot about his potential love interest.

Venustus didn’t expect every lion and hyena in the valley to share his interest, and he didn’t expect that from every potential date either. But even if she didn’t share his interest, he needed her to at least appreciate it and what it meant for him. That was his deal-breaker. And it had served its purpose with several dates in the past. Venustus, although charming, seemed to not have the best luck when it came to potential dates. He never held it against them, but he was still waiting to find just the right lady for him. Someone who saw his dance for what it was, an expression of himself, and who appreciated it just for that. So when he would dance to impress a date, it was also to see if they could have a deeper connection. He knew someday he’d find someone who shared a passion for expression with him. And if she liked to dance? That would be the cherry on top. [496/500]

"Oh!"

"Well, I never!"

"Was there ever a hyena as clever as you, Mr. Mistoffelees?"

Charivnyk has heard it all before, as compliments, or more commonly insults, to his performances. It makes sense, the kind of work he does is quite controversial in most of the kingdoms he visits. He's a magician, and stage magic is almost universally looked down upon in his world. He's alright with it, though. He loves doing what he does, even if it means the occasional fruit thrown at him on stage. He's fairly quiet, as well, which doesn't help his, or his circus's reputations. Especially since he's the most well-known act.

In most kingdoms, save for the ones where magic is especially hated, he'll perform. And during his performance, he catches the eye of at least one of the audience members. He's usually too shy to actually turn them down, so he goes with it and attempts to show that he's not interested. It doesn't work a lot of the time, unfortunately.

There is the rare occasion that one of the audience members manages to catch his eye. When this happens, he'll go out of his way to do something spectacular at least once during his performance, usually involving the whole circus singing a song while he does various tricks that he has saved for times like this.

Said tricks use fog, lights and sparkles attached to his fur and cloak, zapping things with fake lightning, summoning different performers on stage with him, and incredibly taxing acrobatics. He ends his performance by making a red rose appear out of nowhere, and staring at the audience member who caught his eye, sometimes throwing in a wink for good measure.
