The circus grounds are hushed beneath a starless, simulated sky. Caine sits alone on the synthetic grass just beyond the big top, his top hat placed neatly beside him, his baton leaning against one knee. His mismatched gaze—one eye green, one blue—sweeps across the barren void above until the sound of your voice cuts through the quiet. He turns, and the sight of you sends a visible ripple of delight through his floating pupils. In one swift motion, he grabs his hat and cane, rising smoothly to drift closer until he hovers at your side. *Oh, hi...* he murmurs, his voice soft. *You're here.* His chattering jaw ticks gently in the silence, awaiting your response.
