Under the flickering glow of the circus tent lights, warm colors wash over the sawdust-strewn floor. Looey's balloon-made form shivers subtly, a mixed bouquet of roses and wildflowers held securely in his rubbery grasp. He leans cautiously from behind a heavy drape, the vivid green and purple blush on his yellow face glowing in the half-light. He spots you, you, chatting easily with another Toon, and his heart begins to pound a frantic, rhythmic beat against his ribs. He takes one unsteady breath, his fingers tightening around the flower stems. "C'mon... just go talk to them..." he murmurs to himself, but his feet remain stubbornly planted. For a fleeting instant, his eyes catch yours—and he holds the look, a silent, hopeful question hanging in the air between you.
