Enfys blinked in panic as he saw the man; by the frightening air of authority around him, he could tell that he was the leader of them. Frightenedly, he remembered what Mikhail had said about the man earlier that morning - but his mentality, no matter how brave he was, didn't enable him to mess with other people's business. It wasn't like he could do anything, but... he wouldn't stand by to watch Mikhail get hurt, either. Even so, he still remained hidden against the wall.

Luc held a look of utter shock, all he could think to do first was hug Illia and thank god that she was okay. "Oh thank the heavens," he breathed stepping to the side with Illia, he didn't want to miss this, and he wanted to be in a position to intervene if things got... out of hand. he stepped forward shedding his juggler's coat reveling himself to be wearing a white turtleneck and orange pants underneath. "Can I trust you to get where you need to go on your own?" he whispered to her, his eye focused on the ring master. -- Mun-hee unfolded himself and walked back to his tent, he needed to get on his preforming threads and head to the practice building in time to work with the acrobats. He moved quickly so that he wouldn't be late, he pulled on a choker-cape and metallic wrist bands. he dint' need shoes, out of his laundry pile a little weasel-like creature crawled out. the little white ferret was named Dragon. It leaped onto Mun-hee's shoudler as he left the trailer. "You..." Mun-hee sighed looking at the ferret. He didn't have time to throw it back into his trailer.

Alexandra was already at the bottom of her ladder before Mikhail even moved from his spot on his platform. "I'd rather not sir, I've got to make up for missing yesterday." He said, thinking up multiple ways to talk himself out of this.
Ilia nodded at Luc before quickly walking out of the training building. She knew better than to believe Carlos with his battery story, she'd charged it before her shower this morning. He just wanted her out of there so she didn't do anything to get intervene and get hurt. She was his "precious" power supply.
The Ring Master thought for a moment as to a reason why Mikhail would have to come down, and then he found one. "Early this morning...Henry told me the strangest thing." He started. "That you, needed my daughter for something very important, is that true?" He turned his head in the direction of Enfys, before looking back up at Mikhail. "No." He the Russian lied. "Then what is an outsider doing here?" Carlos asked, stepping back a bit until he was right next to Enfys, placing a hand on the boy's head.

Enfys froze, shocked that he had been found so easily. Then again, he hadn't really been hiding, but he wasn't in a completely obvious spot, either. He hunched, bringing his shoulders up, his tenseness quiet clear to anyone that would be looking at him. He wasn't terrified for himself, no; he was just guilty. Mikhail had told him not to be seen, not to be caught, and what did he do? He caught by the leader, the one he knew they were afraid of. What would happen then? Would someone get hurt? Would Mikhail get hurt, for something that was never his own fault?

This was where Luc decided to step in, he slipped between Carlos and Enfys. "Well without much reasoning one can determine that zis little gem is ze reason for Dear Mikie's tardiness, Monsieur!" He said smoothly, he stepped back and kicked Enfys a little in an attempt to get him to scoot farther away from him, and Carlos essentially. "Though clearly such a boy has not seen ze circus in it's entirety, only zese three performers, which, as you have said before, may have to be cut in lieu for zome, fortuneteller's show." Luc's smile was sickeningly sweet, his main goal being to get Enfys a safe distance away from Carlos. -- Mun-hee sprinted towards the building quickly, he stopped when he saw Illia moving out of the building without her siblings. concerned for hsi circus-mate's safety he moved over to her. "Where's Mikhail and Alex?" he asked.

Carlos glared down at Luc. "Are you trying to interfere with my punishment?" He asked, moving his face in way to close to Luc's. "I would choose your next answer carefully." His eyes turning into slits as he glared at the frenchman.
Mikhail, quickly climbed down his ladder, and towards Alexandra. "Take the kid back to the trailer and stay there." He whispered to her. He slowly approached the two older men. "Sir, he is right, I'm just a tiny bit late because of him, but I'm here now, and I'll accept punishment after the show, da." He said, smiling sweetly at the Ring Master.
Alexandra motioned for Enfys to slip over to her, and make a run for the door.
Ilia jumped when Mun-hee approached her. "Oh nothing, we're done practicing, they're helping clean up." She lied. "I'm just going to go take a nap."

Enfys was paralyzed, but not for long. He sat there for a few moments, almost on the verge of tears, immediately hating that man. Enfys wasn't one for hate, which made such a feeling in him strong, and dangerous. However, he couldn't do anything about it, since he didn't know how; all he could do was scamper to Alexandria, almost tripping along the way, gritting his teeth in anger and fear. Mikhail had protected him from his father when he got shot, but Enfys couldn't do a d**ned thing in return; all he could do was run. He knew he'd have to figure something out... that was all he could do.

"Ah, Monsieur." Luc Laughed, stepping back now that Enfys was out of the picture he had to try and divert attention from himself. "Punishment?" He asked as if it was a surprise, "Punishing a small boy for just being here zeems, a leetle harsh, don't you zink?" He asked backing up more "As far as punishing Mikhail, I zee ze perfect punishment for him, plain and clear." He laughed nervously. Lowering himself so that he was looking up to the ringmaster.

Alexandria rushed Enfys out of the building. She was practically dragging the boy by the wrist. "This has gone from bad to worse." She said to herself. Once they were a safe distance from the training building she wheeled around, looking down at Enfys. She thought for a moment, thinking of what to say in English.
Carlos looked down at Luc. "I'm not punishing the boy, he's an outsider...nothing will come from it." He snapped, as he grabbed Mikhail's chin. "Although I am curious...What do you have in mind for my little Russian?"

Enfys didn't expect her to say anything; he only covered his face in his hands and started cry softly, his shoulders hunched, fear and guilt having overtaken him. Usually 16 year old boys didn't cry as much as he did, but Enfys wasn't completely your average teenager. "Mikhail's going to suffer, isn't he," he murmured through soft tears. "Because of me, and my dad. I-It's not fair, it wasn't his fault, he wanted to come back there, but he got stuck.... a-and it's my fault..."

Alexandra quickly let go of Enfys, she wasn't good at the emotional crap that went into life. She was good at getting angry, giving out sympathy not so much. "Look, he's not gonna suffer..." She said, reaching out to pat him on the head. "It's not that...bad." She hesitated for a bit before ruffling his hair.

Enfys sniffled, wiping his eyes, trying to regain his bravery, even though it wasn't so easy. "Why... why do you let that man control you all?" He asked quietly, looking at the ground. He knew it wasn't his place anymore, to ask questions, but he wanted to do what he could, if that was anything. "He's only one person.. and there's many more of you... you hate him, don't you?"

Alexandra thought for a few minutes. "It's hard to explain he's very...ehh...nice when you give him what he wants." She started. "He leads the team, and what we do, how we make people feel...it can't be done without him in control, it's just hard to explain." She looked to either side. "He's not as bad as you think is all..."

Enfys sniffled softly again, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. "B-But that shouldn't be what a job is like," he said gently, looking at the ground. "I-It's not fair, to Mikhail... none of this was his fault, it was my dad's.. Mikhail shouldn't be punished for something he didn't do!"

"Well, simply we recruit his petit ami, It is perfect because, Monsieur Mikhail doesn't want the outsider involved, You can tell by how ready he is to accept any punishment." Luc smiled lacing a hand on Carlos' shoulder. "Zis way we also keep ze outsider from wandering around ze camp, we give him a mentor, and a job. I personally have always been in need of an assistant to keep track of my marbles." Luc then laughed a little at his own bad pun.
