The smell of the Autumn air, mingled with the sights and the aroma of the circus brought back memories for the Scarlet Witch. As a small child, she recalled all the times she and her brother had visited the circus (as few as and far between as they were) with their family. Most would have considered the circus a luxury, but when you didn't have a lot of money, it was. However, their parents felt the need to treat their children to something fun and a little frivolous from time-to-time - even at the expense of going without something they (their parents) needed.
Those are the kind of sacrifices that had taken for granted at the time, but now respected.
"Transia," Wanda corrected her fellow lady Brotherhooder with a small grin. It was easy to forget that Transia was a country, due to its size and the fact that it boarder Romania. Most people often mistook her for being Romanian, because of her gypsy heritage as well. "And yes, circuses frequently traveled to or near our village." Pietro may have been sitting out this particular outing, but Wanda had a habit of referring to things as if he were present.
When Sway gestured to Blob (who was bringing up the rear), Wanda slowed down enough to glance back at the massive form following them. It was nice to see that he seemed to be a bit happier than he had been since joining up with the lot of them. Turning away once more, she picked up her pace and kept her eyes fixed on the tents and rides that were looming larger in the distance as they drew ever-nearer.
