((The viewing area is behind a box, like at other circuses.
I was also waiting in case Drago or Shad want to post.))

When the boy mention the unicorns, the man frowned. The monkey on his shoulders hollered and he made a hushing sound, raising a to comfort the little creature. He hoped this conversation was going somewhere. He didn't like discussing circus details with the others, they were just to do their jobs and he'd take care of anything else, but the boy seemed to want to talk, so he'd listen.
"Is this going somewhere Mr. Moore?" He asked as he saw the Big Tops looming ahead, it's red flag waving in a light breeze. Magic danced on his fingers in anticipation as he thought about the full stands, the small excited children, barely containing themselves as their parents tried to hush them up.
He noticed Joey off to the right leaning against the lion pen, the trainer standing there with her. He nodded at the two women before seeing lights in the tent dim, he'd done the show enough times to know what was going off. They were playing the drums, building up the excitement and the suspense. Search lights were roving the filled bleachers, while people were setting up his ring. All he'd have to do was step into the tent to his spot. Then the spotlight would find him, and he'd work his magic.
