I can't wait. *smiles* Of course I can show you around, I think I know my way around here now. Well at least, most of it. There is a Teapot Tent if you want to go there. All the food places are together so you'll probably see it from where you work.

I will definitely see you on Saturday then. *chuckles lightly* I would like that very much. But you would never be a bother, Brendan. *smiles* I do not know many of the places inside the Circus, so perhaps you could introduce me to them? You can tell me what is good and what is not.

Seeing Rachel burst through the door Brendan had to laugh. Of course she would come and visit him, if no one else would. She was his roommate after all, he felt a lot closer to her than others. "A bit better" He shrugged shuffling his leg and arm. "Nah they are being alright, should be out in a hour or so. My leg is going to kill though."

Hospital Bed

Looking to the door Brendan's eyes widened at the woman stood at the door. It was the last person he expected to see, Elsa. A smile appeared on his face as he saw her. It was certainly a surprise, and then he remembered Morph's words. How did she? Brendan shook the thought away and began to sit up in his bed wincing at the sudden pain in his thigh.

"No no stay." He said quickly as she began to speak, he didn't want to blow it all with her. He wanted to be her friend at the very least, but his stomach fluttered. "You aren't. You can talk all you like."

Hospital Bed

Elsa fiddled with her hands as she stood in the hallways of the hospital. She had heard from one of his friends, Morph, a very sweet girl that Brendan was in the hospital. Part of her felt bad for not being able to protect him but she couldn’t figure out why she would have in the first place. However, she felt somewhat responsible. She had let him get hurt. Taking a deep breath, she tried to gain more composure. It wasn’t her fault and it never would be. At least she hoped so. But she was here and she hoped that as Morph had said that it would make him feel better. She was just there as a friend, after all, right? They were going to go out to dinner, but just as friends. She was his friend. It’s okay, Elsa. It’s not your fault. Just go say hi.

She reached up and knocked on the door, taking a deep breath. Pushing her hair over her shoulder, she fiddled with it. It’s okay. Elsa stepped into the room, peering in. When she saw Brendan in the bed, his arm bandaged up, she began to feel pain in her chest. He was truly hurt and she just wanted to make everything better. “I am sorry. Someone told me you were here and I wanted to come make sure you are alright. If you want me to go, I can. I do not like seeing you like this. Nothing bad happened, right?” She fidgeted, knowing she was talking too much. Biting on her lip, she looked up at him, “I am talking too much. I am sorry.”

[climberchaton]

Oh Hiccup. I have no idea which way to go, although the fact there is a big bandage on my hand may have made you think otherwise... *shrug* I think that way *points*

Okay, now I’ve got your attention, can you point me in the direction of a nurse?

"Darkness. People let this creepy atmosphere affect them, let their inner demons take over. They have no family here, just the fake family in the performers. But that isn’t their true family; their family know them inside and out. Sometimes, they are even the cause of the darkness.” Brendan let out a sigh leaning back on his chair and taking a sip from a coke can. “It’s hard to explain but, here it seems to be a collection of people with problems. Mental, physical. It’s a darkness.” He looked to Wendy and offered a rare smile.

“I bet you have family here. I do as well. Even though I hate them sometimes… It’s what makes us more protected.”

Wendy nodded, laughing a bit. “That could be awkward, couldn’t it?” she asked. She had never had a roommate besides her family, and it didn’t matter if they fought. They would stay together no matter what. “Darkness? What do you mean?”

[climberchaton]

Well I shall certainly be taking that on board. I didn't expect someone to kiss me but, each to their own.

It's for science.

[climberchaton]

Uhm, okay. That was weird and unexpected. 

It's for science.

[climberchaton]

Wha-

It's for science.

Brendan pulled himself up onto the top of the apartment blocks as he usually did. He loved climbing up the side of the blocks, even if it had become an easy task. He looked out onto the roof noticing a flash of red hair. He walked over to where the girl sat; his hand was still bandaged up and killed from pulling himself up the side of the apartment blocks. “Didn’t expect to see someone else up here.” He commented looking out to the view. 

Roof top memories

Merida was attempting to not feel like a caged bird. She climbed to the top of the apartment building and sat on the roof her feet dangling off the edge. For some time she just looked at her feet kicking then softly like a child does when their feet don’t reach the floor. But soon enough her eyes slowly rose up catching the sun risen horizon and the large, vast forest she longed to go to so bad. She felt tears in her eyes but wiped them away looking back down but this time at her hands laying softly in her lap.

[climberchaton]

Brendan looked at the bundle of things in Morph’s hands as he lay in his hospital bed. He didn’t expect to have visitors, after all he would be out the hospital soon enough. Seeing the cat, Brendan couldn’t help but allow himself to smile. It reminded him of his own cat; he wanted to lie down on his bed with Toby snuggled up by his face. Like normal. “No it’s fine.” He shrugged. “I’d rather see you than one of the fucking nurses.”

Hospital Bed

Morph had brought her surprise for Brendan along with her. Hoping that it was going to cheer him up. She could tell through the texts he sent he was feeling pretty down about himself. Bringing Elsa to him was the least she could do to cheer him up. Or she hoped it would cheer him up. Sometimes she didn’t totally know with Brendan. The small brunette made sure to make a quick stop off at the hospitals gift store before she made her way up to Brendan’s hospital room. She had different balloons, chocolates and a cute stuffed animal of a black cat she though Brendan might like. Morph adjusted everything in her hands and knocked loudly on the door. She waited until she heard Brendan call out before she opened out the door. “Hey Buddy!” she smiled. “Hope it’s not a bad time. I can come back if you want.”

Hospital Bed

Brendan sat up in his hospital bed. His arm was bandaged up mostly, it stung and just bending his fingers hurt. He was in a hospital gown; his leg bandaged up and stitched up from a dirty nail being dragged through it. Brendan had his bloods tested and they had to keep him in the hospital in case of infection. He didn’t care too much though; it was just his work that suffered. The ringmasters would be pissed, but he promised that he would work every day for two weeks straight to make up for time missed. A knock on the door. Brendan pulled himself from his slump, from his brain whispering insults and telling him how stupid he was. How he would never get anywhere, how he would never get back to New York. He had to let the anger wash over him this time, but it was hard. “What?” He asked, assuming it was going to be a nurse at the door. Or someone he didn’t want to see. 

[climberchaton]

Brendan nodded. "I will take note of that." Listening to her words, Brendan leant back on the nearest wall. "It was only a few days ago. She helped me paint my room." 

*Sighs*

Merida eyed him and giggled, “Miss Merida that is something you never have to call me.” She then lifted a brow, “You’re her roommate? She didn’t tell me she had a roommate let alone a boy one…”

[climberchaton]

Saturday night would be perfect. If you are, I can always turn up at your work and bother you there. *grins* We could go to one of the eating places here, or in the town. You can pick.

You are very welcome. *nods* That definitely works for me. Does Saturday night work? I do not know if I am meant to be working or not, but I have not heard otherwise. *smiles* Did you have a place in mind?
