Chihiro was out of town to buy some smoking devices in replace of the damaged ones in the main tent. She brought the the cheap ones so it short circuited when trying to test it. Now, she would make sure she would find the high class ones so the same thing wouldn't happen again. Good thing it happened back in her daily check-ups, not within a show and obviously she would be scolded if it happened in that situation.
Chihiro entered a hardware shop across town, not really that far away in the cirque. She was lucky to find a shop for it. The ring bell sounded while walking in as she quickly looked around to find a smoking device.
The bad thing in this situation, Chihiro was getting nervous again. She was afraid she would trip and destroy the products around while walking around. She pondered that it would be more easy and safe if she would ask someone nearby.
Therefore, she stepped to the person standing in a stall with eyeglasses. "Uhm... May I ask where are the smoking devices here...?" she inquired.

Gowther looked down at the person who spoke to him. He pointed to an ailse nearby "I do not work here, but I remember seeing them over there." Hiro had gotten Gowther interested in robotics, so looking around the hardware store had been for Gowther to get a better grasp of such objects. He looked at the person again. They appeared to be a girl, but their mind said otherwise, beneath the thoughts of what they needed the smoking device for "If you need help installing them, Chihiro, I suggest asking Hiro, or someone else with a good grasp on technology."

"Eh?" Chihiro tilted her head a bit. Did she mentioned about her purpose on buying smoking devices to this stranger... Besides, he seemed to know Hiro whom she met days ago. She blinked and step aback. "U-Uhm... Pardon... How did you know my name...?" She asked, frowning. It was pretty suspicious that this guy knew her name also, and in addition, this was the first time she had seen this guy.

"You're from the circus, are you not?" He asked "my name is Gowther, and I'm from the circus too. As for your name, I read it." He pointed to his head "I'm so used to doing it, I really should stop." He hugged his books to his chest "You're buying supplies for the effects, right?"

Chihiro nodded. Her suspicion decreased however, when the guy introduced himself as Gowther and his somewhat ability. Fear gradually engulfed her and a horrified look painted unto her face, in comical way. She sighed briefly, thinking that she should expect a lot with the circus she was in, especially with the people with extraordinary abilities.
Deciding to answer him back, she nodded again. "Uhm... yeah. I-I'm an effects technician, and as you know, yeah, my name is Chihiro..." she said like a well-disciplined kid. She gulped... she was wishing that the guy didn't look any deeper of her thoughts or else... she was dead.

Gowther could hear the worry in her thoughts, and the thoughts about something else. Something they didn't want Gowther to see, but, sadly, when Chihiro thought about it, Gowther saw it. He sighed, guilty, and whispered "I know your secret, Chihiro, but I'm not going to tell anyone, whether or not you tell anyone about it is your own business." He gave her a smile.

"S-Secret?!" Chihiro blurted out. Horrified face completely taken her over, as she suddenly shivered and saw his smile as a creepy one. Whilst her lips were trembling, and she couldn't help but step away from him. But, she still had to save herself and so, she lifted a brave posture, "Y-You sure you aren't a sort of fraudster? Maybe you've seen me already in the cirque, and maybe Hiro is a friendly guy. Lastly... there's a certain reason why people are here... to find technical supplies. I guess you told me things earlier because it is easy to read. There's no way you can have my secret..." Chihiro even tried to deny everything and this was only their first meeting. He needed to be sure that he was a real mind reader.

Gowther could understand why he distrusted his ability to read his mind. Gowther, out of courtesy, lowered his voice, so only Chihiro would hear him "I'll read into your mind further to prove it, but only if I have your permission. I only knew about your secret because it came up at the top of your thoughts after I told you how I knew your name."

"Uhm... Isn't that intrusion of privacy...?" Chihiro said. She could hear her heart pounding wildly. Now, she had no choice but to believe. If the programmer would remain hardheaded by not believing him, more of her secrets would pop up more on the conscious part of her brain. Of course, she didn't like anyone to know more of her dark secrets. Unfortunately, fear successfully taken her over. All her darkest secrets resurfaced above... That included the crime she committed, the time where she caused a blackout in her previous school (well accident actually), her real identity and many more...
"Shocks..." she muttered under her breath, failing to hide her thoughts.

"It's complicated." Gowther explained. When more of her thoughts became more conscious, he heard a couple of them, but quickly silenced it by tuning into another person's head in the store "I've grown so used to using it, that I can tend to forget that I'm even doing it sometimes. If I really wanted to find something out, I would have to dig a little deeper in your head and really focus, but I don't like to do that without permission." He tried to give her a reassuring smile "I promise that I won't repeat anything I've heard from your thoughts. What you do or do not reveal is none of my concern."

Gowther seemed harmless at all and Chihiro was just in panic, prejudicing him as a bad guy. While the mind reader was mentioning about getting "used to it", Chihiro frowned a bit. "Uhm... Isn't that a little hard? Mind reading is cool in a sense when you want to know the truth about something, especially when asking a criminal. You might have been helpful I guess... And I think also... It is unintentional..." Chihiro tried to say something positive with him. He sensed that Gowther disliked his ability, or that was only her opinion about his response. "Uhm... I guess it is really complicated to have that skill. I guess the cartoons I watched are lies, cause it shows like mind reading is easy to handle." She said a little hesitant, and she was not sure if Gowther really felt hard on having mind reading as a reflex. "A-Ah! It is just my opinion! I-I'm being talkative!" Chihiro yelped.

"It's not as hard in itself, more as in, it's hard to break habits of using it." He looked down at the programmer and managed a small smile "And it can be complicated, especially when in a group of people, multiple thoughts are exhausting to read at one time. As for cartoons, they do make it easier said than done." He laughed a bit, rare, when Chihiro said he was being talkative "It's alright, I don't mind answering any questions or concerns you have."

Chihiro giggled, "Like it is hard as stopping playing games when you got addicted." He stared the mind reader's eyes, behind the eyeglass he was wearing. He felt something odd behind those eyeglasses, but Chihiro ignored it. "Uhm, but I still apologize for me being talkative... It sometimes bugging me because of the saying, 'curiosity kills',"
Chihiro just then remembered his reason why he got here... "Oh! I need to buy the machines!" He looked at his phone to check the time, and his eyes widened in shock.
He only had 1 hour left before the show.

"That is a good way to describe it." Gowther smiled, but noticed the way Chihiro looked at his eyes. When Chihiro mentioned needing to buy the machines and he immediately read the deadline until the show in her head "Do you want me to tell you where they are again?"

"U-Uhm...! That will be a great help!" Chihiro said immediately. However, Chihiro pondered a bit while thinking that he might disturbing the mind reader. "Uhm... Is it only fine with you?" He couldn't help again but stare on his eyes again... And now he became obvious that he even shook his head just to get snap away of his mannerism of staring other people's eyes.
