        "Nice to meet you all!" (Y/N) proclaimed.

        "Come now Smile, wouldn't you like to say a few words to everyone?" Sebastian was covering his mouth with his hand, barely being able to finish his sentence without laughing.

        "Yes... I'm uh... So happy to be here," But Ciel did not sound very happy, quite the opposite actually.

        "C'mon Smile! Smile!" Joker nudged the earl who only growled in response. The things he did for the Queen. He truly was a loyal pup.

        The three musketeers were following Joker backstage for a tour. They were shown the tents they would be sleeping in and by the looks of it they would have to share. He showed them the mess and storage tent, informing them that they may have to do some cooking. He pointed out the infirmary, private quarters for the main cast- which seemed more than a little suspicious to the undercover group. They were warned about the first tent being Snake's.

        (Y/N) eyed the tent, knowing who her demon was perhaps he could infiltrate the tent? Or at least keep all the snakes distracted while they snuck by.

        "By the way," Joker stopped Ciel from walking, "I was wondering what happened to that right eye of yours?"

        "Oh, well, there was an accident," Ciel held his eye over his eye patch, earning a look of sympathy from the troupe leader.

        "How terrible," He held the side of the boys face, "You're so young for such an awful thing to happen."

        "Uhh. Yes," Joker removed his hand, joking about how everyone there was damaged. He led 'Smile' away with a hand on his shoulder as the two new 'love birds' followed behind.

        "Did all your performers join up at various spots like us?" (Y/N) asked before Sebastian had a chance to.

        "Aye, most did. We first tier performers all come from the same place. We're childhood friends, see," Joker looked back at the two who walked behind him.

        "I see. So you've known each other for quite some time then?" Sebastian asked.

        "Aye."

        "That's Tom Tom the Piper's Son, Mother Goose," Ciel pointed out as Jumbo played a song.

        "You've got a good ear there, Smile! I'm impressed with ye, not many people know that," Joker grinned down at the boy as he came up with an excuse. Before Joker could push him about it Sebastian changed the subject.

        "I admit I find it interesting, so all the main cast have been friends since childhood, have they?"

        "Almost all, Snake is quite a bit newer than the rest of us actually. His snake handling is tops and we needed a snake charmer, so even though he wasn't part of the original crew he made the jump to first tier quickly. Being one of the primary performers has its perks for sure," Joker began to list off the perks as they entered back into the main tent. It was filled with people who seemed to be practicing, hoping to claw their way to the top for a first tier position. Joker finished explaining what it took to become first tier until Beast called for him, leaving the three to start practicing.

        "Only in the circus, ey? The entrance to the private quarters is guarded by snakes," Ciel looked over to the pale female beside him, currently stretching down to hug her legs to her chest.

        "Oh, Ciel, stop complaining. It could be worse. It could be spiders," she sat back up, watching Sebastian push on Ciel's back to try and help him stretch.
