~~Gwen~~ Gala Thomas

“Wake me up when you do tomorrow, Gwen.” It was a rarity for her Twin to request of such. “A friend’s coming over in the morning to try a new career training method in the tent.” A hidden smirk even graced her lips, restraining her excitement for the event to come.

But within that morning Gala didn’t stir from her slumber when Gwen did, relishing in her sleep as per usual. Internal debate swirls through her twin’s thoughts in consideration of what to do. The right or the wrong? And which was right, and which was wrong? Chaos brews amongst the rising sisters yawning past their dreams, and filling those very mouths with energy for the day to come, while caffeine bubbles in concoction for the older girls to sip. Review doesn’t wonder amongst Gwen’s thoughts, before instincts decide her upcoming fate. And with that decision she scurries through Gala’s drawers of attire.

Only slight hesitation carries her within the kitchen, as she stumbles for a mug. A celebration was to arise in the weeks to come, a birthday to declare her and Gala another year older. And upon her cake fifteen candles will flicker in illustration of her age. Surely it was acceptable for her to drink coffee now. Worry burdens her in this courageous act of firsts, while no eyes of prying sisters turn to her in disapproval.

The Blonde locks of Gala’s friend warns her of the welcoming intruder from outside the window. With the steaming mug within her grasp, she ventures in preparation of the facade she used to play constantly. “Hey, Xander.” She greets with only a flicker of hesitation across her brow. Eyes brush a few blinks before she calculates her objective, and how she’ll achieve it. “Want some coffee before we get started?”

Xander Chastmen

It was an intriguing invitation given by a girl of absolute captivation. From sweat stained fights to races zipping through the treeline two equals had been born. Although admitting such a simple fact was far beyond the capability of either career. Yet still there was something more within their connection, something beyond the battles and the competition. Something that made Xander's stomach twist at the invitation to practice techniques at the home of Gala Thomas.

When morning came simply grey sweatpants to match a grey tank top took the form of Xander's clothes. Several questioning glances swept over his skin from the eyes of his siblings, but never did they formulate into speech. Following breakfast he popped the last few of his blueberries into his mouth while slinging his duffel bag over his shoulder.

"I won't be gone long, just going to train."

The statement brings a smile onto the lips of proud parents. However, it isn't the aspect of training which tremors Xander's steps. With every passing minute he draws closer to the place where Gala lives, where she trains alone. Something about it almost seems sacred, almost makes him feel as though he is unworthy of entering the backyard through the side gate.

Gala's golden locks greet Xander out back, but something's askew. The steaming mugs of liquid were something Xander had never known Gala enjoyed before, they certainly weren't his preference. Still he gives his best small smile.

"Thanks but I'm alright. I don't usually drink coffee before working out." He fiddles with his pockets for a second of silence before turning towards the rest of the place she called home. "Nice place though, I like it."

~~Gwen~~ Gala Thomas

To other the concerns of Gala’s twin may seem invalid, tattooed with such by her deceiving manners of assuring herself. But unnecessary career training had altered Gala in ways that would not justify within her twin’s perspective. Matthew and Kyanite had enveloped their electrified fingers around her, and forced her into a vortex they weren’t bred to relish in. No longer did she devote every moment of her available time to their family’s circus, but rather to preparation for a task that would leave her either useless or dead. And even after Matthew and Kyanite had dissipated into the reality of past reaping age, they left their descendant Gala to offer herself to study for the sacrifice of the Games.

Was Xander no different from the two that had lured her into this unworthy reality just to vanish? Despite her method being dishonest, she’d still discover such an answer - and protect her sister accordingly.

The coffee is declined by him, which leaves hidden alarm in the mist of the rejection. Would Gala have known that Xander doesn’t consume coffee before training? When she had fooled Kyanite into believing she was Gala years ago it was much simpler. While now the venture apart leaves her questioning her Sister, and the friendships she pertains.

“Thanks… It’s cool..” Confidence finally breaches her in certainty of her Twin’s nonchalant responses to comments on her living quarters. It’s the massive constructed tent behind that always induces a grin across her cheeks, which Gwen mimics now. “No point in dillydallying though, let’s get to the fun stuff!” Surely it was difficult to deliver Gala’s different vocabulary usage.

Steps venture towards the masterpiece of the newly growing Thomas legacy, the circus. “Can’t remember if you’ve been to a show before?” It was very much like Gala to easily forget, though it wasn’t certain of the length she talks about the family circus with other. Would her cover be blown immediately by her lack of knowledge? Her breath is captured in the wait to find out.

Xander Chastmen

Part of the blonde boy wonders if it is the confidence that Gala conveys that fascinates him. Or maybe it's the way she incorporates her skills very similarly to that of Cricket. Xander had heard many stories about Gala's part in the circus over the years. From reasoning to why she had beaten him at some event or another to excuses for why she had to miss certain days of training. Xander has to admit whenever she isn't at training he finds himself annoyed and missing his best sparring partner, no one can keep the same pace the two of them can.

Xander's concentration shifted back to Gala as she set the coffee down. For a second she seemed to be back to her normal self until one of the word's she used caught him off guard. Never once had Xander heard Gala Thomas use a word as ditsy as dillydally, it almost made him want to raise an eyebrow entirely, but he refrained. She was probably having an off day, but that was never something a little training couldn't fix.

Excitement started to surge into Xander's veins as soon they each became engulfed in the wonder of the circus tent. Xander couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the girl by his side. However, the jealous soon leads to an actual joking eye brow raise in response to her words.

"Oh yeah, I've definitely been to one. That's why you always give me crap for never coming yet."

Maybe she really isn't her normal self today?

~~Gwen~~ Gala Thomas

A swelter of heat welcomes them into the realm of glamorous joy, as a breeze fails to envelope itself within the tent of entertainment. Their little sister isn’t here making certain bones go limp to form in nearly zygomatic manners. A gluttonous crowd isn’t gathering in demand to be wowed. A still only the performers have ever witnessed, in the calmness of practice, swirls the place in an almost eerie silence. It often shocks visitors who solely endured this place in it’s beautiful chaos, while Xander speaks to not have seen it in mayhem or silence.

A pause breaks Gwen’s thoughts when his sarcasm whistles of her mistake, as he reminds that Gala constantly gives him a hard time for never watching one of their shows. Should have expected that she’d probably share of her friend’s company within the audience, pushed to make him a guest participant in one of the acts. But fortunately suspicion doesn’t coil from Xander’s features, permitting Gwen to continue in her own personal performance. “Well how am I supposed to know if you went undercover, and secretly saw our last show?” That surely sounds of Gala, and her constant skepticism in people.

“We have to stretch before I can teach you the trapeze, wouldn’t want to pull a muscle.” Is instruct without certainty in her Sister and her friend’s ritual - did they usually stretch before training? Did she fight with him over the necessity? Did she even care about stretching like she did just a couple years back? Toes are touched, peculiar poses taken, stretch muscles in ways taught to be proper. “So what’s your true reasons for saying yes to coming here? Hoping to get a job in the circus?” She questions jokingly, in hopes of learning more about her Sister’s friend.

Xander Chastmen

The air of uncertainty forming from the center of the circus herself only continued to breathe life into Xander's quelling questions. Things that day only seemed to be slipping further into the array of strangeness, oddities he had never faced before with the girl he knew as Gala. Then again though, he had to remember this was his first time stepping foot into her sacred space, the first time either one of them had entered the other's territory. New boundaries were being built while old ones were crumbling into ruins. Along such a journey strangeness should be expected as new discoveries would one day bloom forth from the moment.

An invitation to stretch invites another instance of peculiarity. Never once had the dynamic girl with a force of fire ever waited up on him to stretch, more often than not she would force him to fight before even getting a single one in. Perhaps this incident was simply her way of trying to be a polite host, but then again Gala wasn't polite, she was independent, and it was one of the reasons he was present in her palace of events. Never the less, he would let it settle for now without a sound arising in contradiction or mockery.

Her question, although asked just a day prior, brought about an eye roll and a short stem of laughter from the blonde boy. Whatever was going on it was amusing none the less, surely a moment to make fun of her in the future for.

"As if I could have said no to your constant pestering." He gives a smirk as he drops into his final stretch, the splitz, and the only full acrobatic thing he could do. "Plus remember you wanted to work on the new techniques from training yesterday? You said you were confused about the spinning part."
