Hanyuu sat in the rafters of the tent, swinging her feet back and forth while she kept an eye on her brothers. If she didn't do it, who else would keep them fight causing damage, mostly Lightning's fault, or keep them from killing each other? Lost in her thoughts, Lightning took notice and got an idea, holding one arm in her direction and sending a blast of his namesake at her. He knew it wouldn't hurt or kill her, but it would startle her. Hanyuu narrowly managed to phase from her spot and onto the ground before it hit her "I swear on my own name that one of these days you're going to kill me, or erase me from existence, whichever is possible for me." Thunder looked up at his twin brother and younger sister, having been startled from his own practice.
Lightning shrugged, pretending to be innocent, while all three of them knew it was no accident "Brother, you need to know that some pranks aren't worth playing. What if Hanyuu had gotten hurt?" Lightning frowned, knowing that neither Thunder or Hanyuu was on his side "Do not annoy me with your foolish concerns, we all know that it wouldn't have hurt her." Thunder sighed and crossed his arms "Impulsive..." He muttered under his breath. Lightning heard it and the two began to argue, with Lightning yelling 'killjoy' and Thunder spoke 'aggressive'. Hanyuu sighed "You two..."

Nobody had joined the circus since it had moved to Greece, but Facilier didn't mind. Sometimes, he found it hard to keep track of everyone who was here. But, he did make an effort to check in on any new members and see how they were settling in. Which was why, he was pleased to see Hanyuu, Lightning, and Thunder all in one place. The siblings hadn't made any mortal enemies or burned the place down, so that was good. According to Shanti, Hanyuu was a very nice girl. Then again, his granddaughter thought the best of everyone. She was a lot like her mother, in that retrospect. He had to laugh as he saw the three siblings squabbling. "Ah, bickering siblings. In over the hundreds of years I've lived, that never seems to change," he said as he walked inside. Heck, he and his sister could get like that sometimes, despite the two being on better terms than they were when they were younger.

Hanyuu turned to face the ringleader, giving him a smile and a light bow of her head "Good afternoon, sir." Following her example, Thunder bowed in respect and greetings. It was a custom that he was so used to performing that it hadn't even done it consciously. Lightning, however, didn't and Thunder quickly smacked the back of Lightning's head, making him bow. Lightning was quick to smack his hand away "Stop it, brother." It wasn't that Lightning disrespected Facilier, the truth was that Facilier kinda freaked him out a bit. He was powerful, and Lightning was wary of that. His and Thunder's mistake which almost burned down the cirque made him aware that Facilier probably wasn't the best person to anger.
Hanyuu sighed at Lightning's attitude "Siblings bickering, alright. The problem is making sure it doesn't go too far." Lightning smirked and rolled his eyes at his sister's words. Thunder put on a smile and chuckled "Was there something you needed from us?"

Hanyuu and Thunder greeted Facilier awfully formally, and seemed to want Lightning to do the same. Facilier didn't demand that much respect, though. He was a ringmaster, not a king. All he needed people to do was follow the rules and the rehearsal schedule. Really, that was what was needed most to make the circus function. "Nope, don't need anything. Just checking in and seeing how you're settling in," he replied. "Normally, I'd get my daughter to do that, but she's on a family outing at the moment." Esmeralda had been pretty taken with the sights in Athens and was spending the day in the city with Aladdin and Shanti.

Hanyuu smiled at the mention of Esmeralda "I hope they're all having fun." The goddess was glad that she had made a friend in Shanti. The girl was really sweet, and she couldn't ask for a better friend. Thunder, having not met Shanti, changed the topic to Facilier's reasoning for visiting them "I believe we are all settling in well." The older brother had settled in quite well, but then again, he wasn't as easily irritated at his twin. But from what he had seen and heard, both Hanyuu and Lightning were making friends, and Lightning, while he probably would never admit it, was getting used to the circus. His help during the last attack proved that to Thunder. He also knew Lightning had already made friends with a girl named Kasturi, whom his brother fought alongside when Zemo and Arnim attacked with Tyrannos and Delta-4. None the less, the three siblings were at least comfortable now, the awkwardness of being in a new place gone.
On the thought of the previous attack, Thunder couldn't help but ask "What happened in Kenya, does that kind of stuff happen a lot around here?" If so, Thunder wanted to do more to help the prevention of such things.

Facilier was glad to hear the three siblings were settling in okay. Shanti had talked about meeting Hanyuu not too long ago and said that her new friend was really cool. Facilier hoped that would help Hanyuu ease into the daily routine of this place. It could be a little confusing until you made a friend. At Thunder's question about the circus getting attacked often, Facilier chose his words carefully. "Not a ton. We just attract attention more than other magical groups because we're so large, and have a lot of diversity," he said. "A bunch of magical creatures running a circus isn't exactly that common. Usually, we attract positive attention. Sometimes, it's more negative. But it's nothing we can't handle."

Thunder was relieved that the circus wasn't constantly under attack. He had to agree with Facilier though on the fact that being such a unique show, it was bound to attract attention, not all of it good "That makes sense. Thank you for explaining, and if you ever need help defending this place, I think the three of us can agree that we'll help in any way we can like we did when Zemo and Arnim arrived." Hanyuu smiled and nodded, while Lightning smirked and nodded, happy at the memory of shooting a bolt of electricity at Zemo.
Hanyuu then decided to ask a question of her own "According to Shanti, this circus has been around for a long time, how long exactly, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Thanks. Can never have too many bodyguards when defending this place," Facilier said. Usually though, Quasimodo and Starfire did a pretty good job. They were both strong in their own ways, and were pretty decent at keeping away any dangerous people. "About twenty five years, actually," Facilier replied. "Doesn't seem very long when you're an immortal being, but in show business, that's a pretty long time." Even after all these years, people were still eager to see the show and what it had to offer. Facilier considered that a good thing. As long as business was good, he could keep the circus going.

Hanyuu understood how short twenty-five years seemed to Facilier, herself being immortal "That's impressive, and very noble. This place, from what I've seen, is home to a lot of people who wouldn't be able to make a place to live anywhere else." Lightning, hesitantly agreed while his brother gave his input "And it's brought a lot of people together." Thunder remembered Loreley talking about her family, which was huge.

"Yeah. Other people may want to try and run us into the ground, but in the end, we provide a home for those who don't have one," Facilier said. Really, that was why he had started the circus in the first place. He had felt jipped towards humans, so he had made a circus where supernatural creatures who had also been wronged by humans could come together. Of course, he didn't think so badly of humans now, but he couldn't deny his reasons for starting the circus in the first place.
