『Chapter 28』

You groaned awake to another pounding headache. You couldn't stay here any longer. Opening your eyes, you jumped from your rest as you saw a girl looming over you. "Whoa! Hey, who you?"

The girl smiled at you, stepping back to giving you some space. "Hey, roomie! Wanna get breakfast with me?" The girl who you assumed to be your roommate greeted you. You sat up as she invited you again. "Umm, sure, sorry who are you?

She offered her hand out for you to shake, "Nice to meet ya! I'm Claire." She introduced herself. You took her hand as you stepped off your bed. "Wonder."

"Oh, you're using stage name? Well, then I'm Dawn." You gave her a small smile, walking to the chest where you put your costume. "I didn't see you at night."

"Oh, I just came back last night. I went on a short trip downtown." She replied. You looked back at her in question. Did they allow that?

You changed into a casual outfit as then both of you made your way out to the ration tent. As you reached the food tent, you saw Sebastian and the other circus members, talking around. Ciel was also there, he seemed troubled by something.

"What happened?" You asked, walking towards Sebastian. He looked at you, "Smile here has peeled these potatoes to bits," answering you as he showed the bucket full of peeled potatoes.

You hummed, picking up one of the potatoes, "So? We can still make food out of it," you said, throwing the potato to Sebastian which he caught. You put a hand to your hip, "Why don't you just show them your cooking skill?" You exaggerated the last word.

You saw the corner of his lips rising, "Indeed. Perhaps you could help me make some fish and chips." He suggested which made everyone cheered happily at the news. "Okay, sure." You replied, rolling up your sleeves as you picked the bucket full of potatoes.

Half an hour later, you finished up your cooking as began giving it to the members, one by one. "This looks delicious! Hey, Wonder! Come sit with me!" Dawn tweeted happily as you gave her the dish. You turned your head to her, humming to her words. "Oh, Black might still need me,"

"Nonsense, I can manage. You need fuel, go ahead," Sebastian quickly said to you. Turning to him, you saw him holding out a plate of dish for you, putting up a smile. You smiled sweetly back at him, gladly taking the plate from his hands. "Thanks,"

Before you could say anything else, Dawn pulled you over. She dragged you to her table which you soon took a seat. "So, I heard you, Black and Smile came together?" Dawn asked up. You glanced at her, watching her munching on her food. "Yeah, just the three of us. How did you know?"

"Oh, Joker told me." She replied one which you raised your brow at. "Joker? You're pretty close to him, huh?" You sat straight, putting your hands on the table. You had a feeling that she was hiding something. "Joker? Yes! I came along with him, actually. But I was never close with the others."

You dropped your spoon at that, staring at her. "Wait. So you're... You've been with him before this circus was built?" Dawn nodded at you, grabbing a mug to drink. You pondered for a while, matching the dots in your head. If she was with the crew, she might have something about the case.

You nodded along with her, starting to devour your food. "So, when you went downtown last night, does it have something to do with the circus?"

Dawn nodded at your words again, "Yeah, I went to our ringmaster. Joker wanted to..." She suddenly stopped, as if she misspoke, "to... Tell him how far are we going." She smiled, ending her words. You opened your mouth, about to speak another word, but she pointed her fork at you. "Now, come on, Wonder! Quit talking, eat!" She said, glancing at your untouched dish. You chuckled lightly, "Right... Sorry."
