[39] The fucking snakes were snitches.... 😟

"Once we search the first tier performers' tents, we can go home. Our initial plan was to get Y/n in and use her tricks to climb the ladder quickly and then recommend us to help us work our way up the ladder quietly. But with these wretched conditions I simply can't last that long and I don't want Y/n here either." Ciel declared as Sebastian unbuttoned his shirt and wiped him down to dry him as yiu had dried and dressed yourself already. "Personally, I would find brute force easier than infiltration. The reaper keeps me from moving freely at night." Sebastian commented as Ciel out his arms through the sleeves of his shirt.

"Unfortunately, the fact that the reaper is here isn't enough to prove the circus guilty of anything. So behave yourself for now. But also, Y/n heard them talking to each other yesterday and saw them sneak out." He added as Sebastian draped a blanket over him after he draped one over you. "The time to strike is during the show, they will all be away from their tents, just be careful about Snake's serpants, he keeps the ones he doesn't use loose even during show time." You informed as Ciel sat himself next to you as Sebastian put on his shoes. "I just have to find a way to get rid of that freckled chap who tails me everywhere. If we can't asses their tents contents personally, there's no point. Y/n hasn't had the opportunity to because people are always calling her." Ciel added as you nodded. You both started shaking a bit as you shivered, "I want to go home, I'm long overdue for something sweet." "I think you'd both benefit from a nice hot cup of tea as well."

It was a few minutes before showtime as everyone scrambled around. You wouldn't be performing today to clear up some space for others who earned a spot on the show as you were currently helping around the tent. "Right, yeh lot! It's almost show time so look lively!" Joker shouted as everyone ran around getting last minute things as you finished adjusting Peter's little hat and patting him to send him off as he went with Wendy.

You heard her call for you as you went to her to see what she needed as she walked towards you. "Beauty, dear, can you go grab me my bow? I left out on the table in the-" She was interrupted by her stepping wrong and injuring her ankle with a cry as she toppled over into your arms. "It hurts!" She said as you sat down to not move her as you looked at Peter, "Go get Joker, she probably twisted her ankle." You ordered as he ran to get Joker who had already heard her cry.

"Goodness! What happened here?" He asked as you picked her up carefully and placed her on Jokers back who adjusted her. "She twisted her ankle. Doc should be in the infirmary right about now." You informed as you three ran outside to see Sebastian and Ciel. "Black!" Joker called for him as they paused. "We've got a problem. Wendy 'ere seems to have twisted her ankle. Show's already started so I need yeh ta get in there and take her place in the trapeze." He ordered as Sebastian hesitated. "But surely I'm not a fit substitute." He reasoned

"From what I seen you do, I'd say you're more than fit for the job. We're counting on yeh, yeh understand?" Joker replied as he continued running with Peter. "And there isn't much time 'fore the act so yeh'll need to be quick about it!" He reminded before running out of sight. "He leaves me little choice. My lord, my lady, I must attend to this. We'll find another chance." Sebastian said as he turned to you both as you frowned. "We don't know if there'll be another chance. You go ahead in the show, I'll take him to the tents to search. Just come to deal with the snakes and then you can go." You demanded "Yes my lady."
