Who Thorsten and Aria
What Reunited and it feels so good it's complicated and messy.
When June 2nd, evening
Where The weather tent
Warnings TBD


Aria was ready for the cirque to be on its way. These days of rest had only served to make her restless. She knew her desire to be active was a selfish one, for the members of the troupe who had endured the horrors of the attack had likely appreciated such a reprieve from the excitement of their everyday lives. However, she could not help it; such inquietude was in her nature.

when she was not practicing at the symphony, she wandered the grounds like a haunt, exploring the attractions and meeting her new coworkers, many of whom she had been utterly charmed with. How exciting, to be amongst her own kind once more, and witnessing the use of such incredible powers to enchant and entertain was truly novel. She supposed that was one benefit of the cirque not being open to the public-
she was able to sample each attraction much like a greedy child with a box of chocolates, taking a bite of each one and then leaving the other half to be devoured later.

Such exploration and sampling brought her to the Weather Tent this evening just as the sun was setting, her delicate fingers clutching at the stem of her umbrella as she stepped into the first room. An experimental twirl saw the climate respond, the balmy breeze of a summer's day giving way to low rumble of thunder and pelting rain. She extended a palm from under the haven of her umbrella, a grin curling her mouth to find that it was real rain, not simply an illusion of it.

Her pace was slow and leisurely, her attention focused on the soft shush of the rain. She flicked an experimental finger at the downpour and the wind responded, cutting a pattern through the droplets before she twirled the umbrella once again and snow began to fall around her. The silence was dense, and she could not help but be enchanted by the beauty of it. She let the umbrella fall to her side and turned her face upward to let the flakes fall upon it, wetting her eyelashes and clinging to her hair. What kind of creature could create such a wonderful attraction?

Thorsten felt as though the Weather tent was still recovering from the trauma of the attack. He'd made a point of keeping his history slightly hazy from the rest of the circus. He was just a kind hearted man with a love of alcohol and a good joke. Sure, some knew there was darkness in him. But he'd never really showed himself in his true form until that night. He'd made a point of keeping things light hearted. In his attraction more than anywhere else.

It had always been a place of laughter and joy, excited children and adults with eyes sparkling in wonder. Trust the nature God to feel out the one room that still felt tinged with fear. He'd been in there for hours. Letting the soft turrets of snow settle on the ground, the cold seeping into the soil and washing away all that negativity. It wasn't well known, his affinity with the earth itself. But he'd felt the need to protect the ground they stood on just as much as the people who tread on it.

He'd finally finished when movement caught his eye. The slight shifting of the tent beside him as the wind rippled through the room beside him. Then a breeze as chilly as the room he occupied. He couldn't help but smile. Maybe Ana finally decided to stop avoiding him? He stood and walked to the opening, a lazy smirk pulling at the corners of his lips. "Couldn't stay away, huh?" He asked, before he realized it most definitely was not Ana. The blonde hair was a pretty big hint.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were open tonight," he corrected himself, standing a little straighter. And at six foot four, it was always a little imposing. Even with his rounded shoulders. "Welcome to the weather tent," a beaming smile that only faltered when he moved a little more into the expansive room and actually seen the woman's features. It had been a hundred years, but he had a very long memory. The smile melted quicker than the snow at his feet, and suddenly even that was gone, replaced by the loud crack of thunder as the room whirled into a storm. An old Norse cuss word fell from the man's lips and he had to take a breath to calm himself.

"Aria...What are you doing here?" The curt question was laced with bitterness. It wasn't like him to be rude. But, really, she'd started it. A hundred years without a word? Yeah, he was pretty sure that was a good reason to be angry. Especially considering she'd turned up now. When he was finally starting to see a light in the fog that was his life.

She had turned to regard the man who had spoken in a swirl of skirts, her own smile fading at its edges before vanishing completely, a bewildered gape left in its wake. Her eyes grew large, and she scarcely noticed the the way the sky of the tent darkened with furious storm clouds. And there they stood, directly opposite one another as thunder roared above them; she could not find words, not right away, and so he was the first to speak, his harsh tone causing her to flinch slightly.

Not that she expected anything less, of course. THe knowlege that his anger was well-deserved did not make it any easier... how long had it been? To look at him, it seemed not even a day had passed, but her heart could account for every day, every hour they had spent apart. Almost without her consent her feet moved to bring her towards him before she caught herself and stopped, the movement uncharacteristically clumsy. Even though his eyes were hardened ice she could not look away, and she had to swallow around a lump in her throat before she could even allow his name to fall from her lips, which it did in a strained whisper.

"...I... I work here now," she said softly, and almost wanted to laugh at the bewilderingly small odds that would lead to this moment. Was this a dream?

"I didn't know you were here," she tried to assure him, though her tone more than implied that she was glad to see him.
