Rue sat at the edge of the stage waiting for Dr. Facilier to arrive. Nervous because this was the first time she's performed in front of someone since the incident but also about the fact that Kraehe would be out for so long.
My dear not to worry I respect Dr. Facilier too much to attempt my powers on him. However we will have to wait for him to meet me until he gets her he most know how taxing it is on your body perhaps he knows someone who can help you
maybe just be careful alright I don't want to start anything
Rue sat and stare at the ceiling wondering where Ahiru was...

Yet another person wanted to meet up with him. This time, it was a new girl named Rue. Facilier usually preferred Esmeralda to review people dancing, she was a professional after all, but he didn't mind giving a little critique now and then. He was the ringmaster, after all. He had to make sure all the acts were in shape.
He entered the tent, twirling his cane above the ground. He saw Rue sitting on the stage, looking a little bit nervous, but that was understandable. Stage-fright was common in every performer, even those who had been on a stage for most of their lives.
"Rue, is it?" he asked, giving a friendly smile. "I understand you wanted me to see your dance moves. I think it's a good idea. It'll be good to see where you rank among the other dancers here."

Rue looked up at him and bows slightly to show respect "Sir I apperciate you coming here but before I show you my routine Kraehe wants to talk to you if that alright?" she asked " she's just a little concerned about how our diet is going effect everyone..."

"Kraehe?" Facilier raised an eyebrow. That name didn't ring a bell in his mind. Did Rue mean a split personality or something? He wasn't aware that she had one when he first met her.
"Well, have at it, I guess," he said. He had a good idea of what Rue meant by "diet", but he was content to hear it for himself first.

Rue smiles slightly before grimacing holding her head as it seemed a huge mass of black vines with thorns surrounded her and Kraehe appeared shortly after her voice slightly more deeper then Rue's 'Dr. Facilier a pleasure to meet you" she says with a curtsy. "The reason she is so concerned is because of my heritage..being the daughter of a raven god her family worshipped for many years....I can't eat regular food and as my host neither can she. I never told her but I'm worried with all that has happened to her her emotional state is not good she's very withdrawn. It does not help matter that I can only eat the hearts of men my father can eat any heart but I until I come of proper age can only eat the hearts of men I can seduce." she said eyes slightly narrowed "Thankfully all the men of this circus are safe. I find men who's hearts have been blackened by murder and the such more satisfying not to mention the men of this camp are protected under you" Kraehe paused for a moment "also you should be made aware the more I appear the more Rue's personality will start to disappear due to the oath she gave my father. the more she disappears the weaken her body becomes sooner or later she will die and I will take over her body. While I would prefer it to be later because despite my rather cruel nature I wish not to harm the child. So I also ask that you keep an eye on her if you could sir." ((by the way for referance on how the vine things would actually look xD www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXK9-GQjRFE ))

Facilier had to admit, the transformation thing looked pretty cool. Maybe if Rue, or Kraehe, approved, he could use it in an act. He was sure the audience would like it.
"Well, she's not alone in that department," said Facilier. "This place is full of emotionally-traumatized folks. Ask around enough and you'll find some. Hearts broken, loved ones lost, lots of regrets, etc. But that's why they come here. They want to forget the past and have a future here, and a home."
He couldn't help but smile a little at her eating habits. Reminded him so much of Odette. "Just make sure you do it far from the circus," he said. "I don't need authorities snooping around here and getting suspicious of us. If you need advice in that department, I can recommend someone to you. Her name is Odette. She's a striga, and a good friend of mine. Maybe she'll take you out on a little hunting trip, show you the ropes." He actually laughed at the image.
It seemed like Rue and Kraehe had a complicated relationship. They were totally different from each other, that was for sure. But while Kraehe was dark, she did have a little bit of caring in her, or she wouldn't look out for Rue. "I'll try to check in on her every so often, but I am a busy man. I may have to get others to do it for me. Keep a look-out for Esmeralda. She's a dancer here, and my apprentice. She's responsible and trustworthy. She'll keep an eye on Rue if I ask her to."

Kraehe nodded "I thank you for this Sir and now I would like to show you what me and Rue have been working if you like?" she said with a smile "Its a little strange but we managed to work out a dance routine with me dancing for the most part but doesn't exhaust her completely." she says awaiting his approval to start.

"Oh yes, feel free to show me what you got," he said. "I need to know how you rank with the other dancers. If you're good, we may have you do some of the more advanced moves and/or do routines with the more advanced dancers." He leaned against his cane. "Fire away."

Kraehe and in a flurry of black feathers a man appeared as her partner and she began the routine as she spun either black feathers or purple sparkling lights appeared at random intervals to keep the dance interesting despite it being ballet her leaps were on a much higher scale allowing her to add a few spins before landing into her partners arms and bowed as her partner disappeared in a burst of purple energy ((for reference her routine is this www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDfFAljt4JM&feature=related ))

She was good. Facilier saw that much. Kraehe seemed to pull of one move after another without any effort. And even more impressive, she could do magic as well. That was really unique. When she was finished with her routine, he smiled.
"Very nice. Very professional. Well-done." He walked up to the stage. "You know, Esmeralda is pretty good at magic herself. She's mentioned possibly doing an act combining magic and dancing together. If you two did a routine together, and did some pretty cool magic, it could really be a hit."

Kraehe smiled "That would be lovely sir however I need to revert back to Rue she's growing tired so she may go see miss Esmerelda before getting some sleep" she states looking a little weary herself "plus we need to feed soon" she states before reverting back to Rue.
Rue looks up at him and looks a little shaky before sitting down so she doesn't hurt herself "I appreciate all the help sir"

Facilier nodded in understanding. Rue looked a little shaky on her feet after appearing again. "Don't hurt yourself, kid," he said with caution. "Be sure to take it easy before dancing and stuff. Don't want you passing out on stage and getting injured." That had happened to Esmeralda once when she was thirteen. She had fallen off the stage and had ended up getting a concussion. Luckily, it was nothing Facilier couldn't fix.
"That's fine," he said, waving the matter aside. "Just make sure not to leave anything behind when you feed. The last thing people need is evidence of our existence."

"Well...she's one of those people that tends to flit about the circus, never stays in one place too much," Facilier said. "She is a singer though, so she may be in the main performance tent. She also has a daughter, Maleana, so if she's around, Odette may be nearby. I'll tell her to keep an eye out for you." He gave a smile and a small tip of his hat.
