Sting (or Stina or... whatever)

Dex moved Sophie a little bit away from Biana and Fitz and brought her to the aerial silks and let her wonder at all the acrobatics they did in midair.

"Uggh," he grumbled, "That was Wonderboy and Miss.PrettyPants. They're just some spoiled brats who's family was in this circus for, forever."

"Really?" Sophie asked, thoughtfully, "How long were you here?"

He blushed, "Well, that depends. Actually, my dad ran away from the circus when he was young and came back. And even though he was rejected by everyone, my mom married my dad and had us. He should be an outcast, but he's the one who makes all the medical supplies. Otherwise, he could've been a part of the Ringmasters Circle. Kids like us aren't allowed, and so aren't supposedly outcasts," he blushed yet again.

Sophie sighed, "A true love story!" She grinned when Dex blushed and smiled.

"Actually, if you don't have a talent, you're an immediate outcast. Mom thinks you're the next ringmaster, but Stina's already called dibs," he wrinkled his nose and stuck out his tongue, "Oh yeah. Watch out for the tall, frizzy haired girls who have attitude problems,"

She nodded at him, "Okay,"

They walked in silence for a while. A ringmaster? That would be really cool and all, but you have to be an adult to be a ringmaster. She just didn't get it. What did they see in her? Sting (or Stina or... whatever) can have the job, whomever she is, cause Sophie can barely stand without tripping over nothing. It just didn't make sense.

"Hey Dex?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"I'm not an adult...." she started.

Dex nodded, "I thought that was obvious,"

"So... why am I a ringmaster again?"

Dex grinned, "So you agree?!" He asked giddily.

"Well I still haven't made a decision," Sophie tugged her eyelashes, "But I was just asking. Aren't the ringmasters supposed to be adults?"

He laughed, "Oh gosh! You must have been so confused," he laughed again, "You're not the ringmaster ringmaster! You're just gonna be in training!" He laughed harder.

"Oh," Sophie blushed. She followed him in silence for a few more minutes.

Dex stopped and and Sophie bumped into him from behind, not looking where she was going.

He smiled at her, "This...."

"This is Foxfire"
