^{❛ it would depend on what you label as magic, i suppose. ❜ the russians were certainly superstitious, although sonya wasn’t certain whether or not one could classify the witchcraft many healers practiced as MAGIC. ❛ i have to admit, i do not remember hearing about many magicians in moscow –– though i cannot say the same for st. petersburg, monsieur. ❜}

^{she fumbles with the folds of her gown, cheeks still rosy. she hadn’t expected to be so fond of his act; natasha had thought it would be a magnificent event to experience, and so sonya had blindly gone along with her. hesitant as she was, she finds her stomach still cartwheeling, adrenaline still flowing through the blood in her veins. it all looked so … real. ❛ are you thinking of taking your routine to the rest of the world? truthfully, i imagine you would be well-received anywhere you go ! ❜}

^{It’s a thought, he might extend any tour he’s ever able to achieve  ( he prays fame is a goal easily met )  across the world should there be a call for it. A chance to taste new cultures whilst impressing the world with brutal tricks that, should the truth be exposed to the GRINNING and cheering audience, would terrify the vulnerable. There’s a kick to be had in impressing the masses with murder.}

^{His thought is interrupted, but he smiles as his gaze falls upon her. Cruelty and magic aside, he’s truly glad to see her reeling from the performance. Jon thrives on the cheers of the masses, one cannot be shocked when they discover the height of his pride.}

                 ^{“ Then perhaps I might, I’ll gladly take the honest words of a sweet woman. “}

^{ok but Jon doing a summoning act on stage & it goes REALLY wrong and it ends up being like this.}

                    _{❛     Alistair?     ❜  he asked, not that Marco was under the impression that a  stage name  was real—–   nonetheless, he wouldn’t miss a face considering how many he kept for  HIMSELF.    ❛     My father took me to see your shows when I was younger. Watching you…  taught me  a lot.     ❜}

^{If anything made the magician feel old, it was THAT. It took him a moment to smile, a small curve, and take it as some form of a compliment. He turns, hazel eyes look him head to toe, he means to read him as best as tired eyes would allow. He’s curious, in what way did the great magician teach the small boy? Tricks, or true magic?}  

               ^{“ I’m pleased to have inspired a new generation. What do you do? “}

Smike did work, but this man was correct: the young man did not work for him. Adorned in his robes as the APOTHECARY of Romeo and Juliet, he cut a most strange figure among the decorated finery and circumstance of the magician’s crew. As far as he could remember, he had been following Nicholas and Miss Snevellici down the street, all three on their way to do a small performance for a small crowd in a different theatre because, as Mr Crummles said, they needed to draw in a larger audience. Evidently, Smike had wandered into the WRONG theatre altogether.

He clenched his hands together, lapsing into his habit of being frightened at this man’s rough tone of voice. “Ah–ah was, trying t’ find th’ theatre,” Smike explained, blinking and stuttering. “For–for–for, the theatre, company. Mister–” He flounders a bit, the name not rolling off his tongue as easily as he thought it would. “For Mister Crummles!”

^{This one’s a NUISANCE already, but Jon stands in wait of an explanation. With his top hat still upon his head he appears taller than usual, though Jon stands at an intimidating height already. His stare might worsen the lost thing’s nerves, and he prayed it would. London consists of a great deal of competition to his work, it’s the age of the showman, and EVERYONE wanted each other’s secrets. It had crossed his mind that perhaps this one might be a spy, a damn good actor playing the part of a stuttering mess to seek Alistair the Enchanter’s most prized secrets.}

^{And so he would show no concern for him. He nears, nodding as though he understands the poor thing’s predicament, but Jon is close to striking the trembling figure.  “ You're LOST? What a pity that is, I suspect there is someone looking for you? “}

^{He teases, no doubt the small fortune their famed shows give them is a desirable plus to his company, but she chooses him for him. As he would choose her; it’s enough of a boost to swell his already fat and overbearing ego. Jon huffs, and feigns a look of hurt, a hand rises to rest upon his broken heart.  “ I knew it. “}

              ^{“ WELL then do share. You can always trust a magician to keep a secret. “}

^{True, a magician could take a secret to his inevitable grave, but a man like JON was a difficult one to place. One could never trust a magician, he might proclaim  ‘ achievements ’  never achieved, impossible things to the usual man or woman. Who could say what was truth and what was fiction?  “ No one ever believes a magician, so even if I am to share what I hear, few will take my words as truth. “}
