To Anya´s surprise, the white-haired man was listening to her words and reacted to them. She turned her face at him and she wasn´t alone, Michael did the same. She slightly frowned as she tried to figure out what are Michael and his captain talking about until the moment when the white-haired man told her that he can offer her more freedom.
“Talents?”
She answered and didn’t decline nor accept his offer. She was thinking. The idea of leaving the circus was more tempting than ever before, it took on more precise features. Anya wasn’t sure what their captain expects from her and if she can trust him.
“Thank you, I’ll think about it”
She said gently, it was obvious that she was thinking about his offer.
She followed the white-haired man and was pensive. It looked like Michael trust her enough to let her go freely without holding her or otherwise restricting her. They went into a small restaurant, with only a few tables and only one of them was free.
She wanted to follow Michael and Ferrus to the table when dangerously looking men sitting around tree tables stood up and waited until their captain allowed them to sit. Anya was stunned for a while and she was looking at the thugs, then she without a word sat down beside Michael. She looked at the menu and then at the scared waitress. She smiled at her.
“White sweet wine”
She ordered her drink and then smiled when she heard that Eric, Michael, and Ferrus ordered the same thing together.
“And salad to that meat for me, please”
She said and smiled encouragingly at that poor girl.
Anya sat calmly and listened to Erik and others when the young waitress brought drinks. She was even more frightened than before, it was a miracle she did not spill the drinks on someone as she was trying to be as far as possible from them and in the same moment give them drinks and then quickly leave.
A few seconds after she put down Michael’s wine, the door of the restaurant opened again. Waitress screamed and run away. Anya looked at the newcomers and sighed.
“That was fast.”
At the door, there were five angry men and the clown from the morning. One in front of others had a quality coat and trousers and the other four wore worn clothes. All of them had pistols and four of them knives, their leader had a whip in his hand. The clown whispered something to the leader of the group.
“Hey you”
Their leader pointed his finger at Michael.
“She is our property, give her to us willingly and we will not hurt you… much.”
Anya stood up.
“That’s enough Fred”
Anya was furious, Fred one of the ringmaster's underlings talked about her as if she was a thing.
“Talents?”
She answered and didn’t decline nor accept his offer. She was thinking. The idea of leaving the circus was more tempting than ever before, it took on more precise features. Anya wasn’t sure what their captain expects from her and if she can trust him.
