"Mmm, yes. I missed having my right hand man around," Tapping his nose with a finely manicured nail, it was hard to determine if Maram was treating him like an equal or like a subordinate. Her tone could be taken both condescendingly, and considerate, though, knowing Maram she was just playing her cards right to get this boy wrapped around her finger. When it came down to it, that's all Damien really was - her little pet, her companion to have hanging about and make her feel like the most important creature on the planet. After all, it was Maram that gave him life, she introduced him to this world - a world of fantastical creatures and beings, and also a world of riches and no worries.
"Tell me," Taking a careful sip of her sludge, Maram savored the bitter flavor before continuing, "How devastated were they back home when they found out I was running away to join the circus?" There was an excited flicker in Maram's dark gaze as she studied Damien in her large chair that could easily hold two of him side by side on it. Despite how odd this placed seemed to be for a woman like her, Mara actually enjoyed it. She was surrounded by people she understood, and creatures that she saw in past lives.
"I know what you mean," Pushing off the desk, Maram paced across the trailer and parted the blinds to see a few of the acts waking up and walking around the grounds, "They are rather odd looking." Her lips curled into a slight sneer, as she watched guests pay the fee to enter the carnival and run rampant around the midway, "Then again, even the oddest looking employees are more attractive than some of the mortals that run around, bellies large and round from all their sweeties, mouths agape like a mindless monkey, drooling from their senselessness." Scoffing, Maram closed the blinds and turned, waving her hand towards Damien to get out of her seat. The motion also pulled a large, plush chair from midair, and landing in front of her desk. If Damien looked close enough, he would notice it was his chair from his office back in New York City.
Yes, with powers like her's, why shouldn't she perform magical feats like that?
