The Greatest Show on Earth

[Noelle "Sapphire" Star]

[[Sorry for the short post but I think Noey might be pretty much done in this one will have to start up another one for her and Erik to chat and whoever else he'd be ok sharing with of course]]
-------------

Noelle simply watched Ryleigh and Erik interact. She had noticed Pixie moved back to watch the girls play, after a few moments passed though and she returned. The trainer smiled as her friend sort of scolded Erik about being mean.

Moving closer to the cage that currently housed her leopards, Noelle leaned against the bars. Erik and Ryleigh were possibly some of the most "normal" folk in the Carnivale, in addition to their other pilot James. So all of the "normal" people had positions on the bridge, that was odd. Noelle's head tilted in thought while she pondered that. She hadn't realized that before.

Her eyes went back to the present, the people in front of her. She would hold Erik to his words, about where he'd been and what he'd been up to. Noelle was curious about that, she had actually been getting comfortable with him being around before he up and left. Erik seemed like a nice person, at least alot nicer than alot of the people Nell encountered being part of the show. Overall she was glad he had decided to return.

[[OOC: I think Pixie could be there but that would probably be all who he would feel comfortable saying it around. He wouldn't say anything around James just because of James' past and of course Ryliegh is too new for him to say much.]]

Erik grinned sheepishly at Pixie's little scolding of him for his joke. Well he was only semi joking. He looked around and noticed a few people were gone and new faces replaced them, but not very many had changed. He snuffed out the cigarette and exhaled the last cloud of smoke before moving back into the little group. He had been away for some time, and wondered what he'd tell the girls when asked about where he'd been. Would he lie? While that was definitely the easiest and safest route it wasn't honest and the girls would know immediately. Being around professional liars for so long makes one keen on the signs. He could tell half truths, but then again you run into the same problem as with the lying. It's hard trying to get something past these folk. Most of the time they won't ask you about it if it's your past but they still know. He shook his head as if to shake himself out of the thought process.

"Well I gotta go put some of my stuff away and swing by the bridge. Maybe even do a little stunt work to get my act ready again. Feel free to swing by later Noe if you wanna catch up. Ryliegh I'll see you on the bridge or out and about."

He smiled and waved as he made his way back to the ship. His bike was being unloaded as he arrived. The rest of his stuff was all ready on the ground. He paid the driver and helped load up his stuff. As he took his bang onboard he turned and looked at the set up wtill going on. He was glad to be back, glad that his past was somewhat put to rest and that he could be here for some time without having to worry about everyone's safety.
