Harland

*He glares at you again, but this time he's trying to hide the slight smirk that's creeping up on his face* I'm not from the circus. I'm from the circus. There's a difference.

*He rolls his eyes and turns away, not giving you a second glance* Fine, but I swear, if it's a bad one, I'm going to throw you out of the tent.

What did the sushi say to the bee? *he says giggling*

*He glares at you, waiting for the punchline* I don't know. What?

*You sneak into the circus tent at night and find him finishing up one of his late night practice sessions. He's here alone because he doesn't like practicing with the others. He climbs down the ladder, breathing heavily. You walk up behind him and start to open your mouth to tell a joke when he glares at you, looking serious as ever* Don't you dare. Keep your mouth closed.

Are you sure you have a balanced schedule? (Cuz he be doing tightrope stuff)

I'm sure of it. I've been practicing for years. I've got this under control.

*My eyes narrow. I smile again, but it’s not my usual cheerful smile. It’s a creepy, angry, crazy smile. I chuckle. Whoever did this is dead. Dead. DEAD. Harland hears the noise again and he looks outside his tent, only to see one of his fellow acrobats, lying dead outside his tent, their head bleeding.*

*Harland's eyes widen. He steps outside, looking around. He sees the dead body, and he's shocked. He doesn't know what to do. He's scared, but he also wants to find out who did this. He starts walking around, looking for any clues*

*Harland freezes. He can't believe what he's seeing. He stares at you, his eyes wide with shock. He's scared, but he's also angry. He takes a step towards you*

*Harland's eyes narrow when he sees you two together. He can't help but feel a little bit jealous. He watches as you lean your head on Moriki's shoulder, and he feels a surge of anger. He wants to go over there and pull you away from him.*

*Moriki puts his arm around me, and I feel safe and comfortable in his embrace.*

*Harland's eyes narrow even more. He's never seen you so comfortable with anyone else before. He's starting to feel like he's being replaced. He can't stand the thought of you being so close to someone else.*

*He doesn't believe you, but he doesn't want to push you too hard. He knows you're not telling the whole truth. He takes a deep breath and tries a different approach.* Yuki, I can tell you're not just tired. You're hurting. And I want to help.
