Eudora let out a soft "Oh" as he raised her head away from Folly. The connection seemed so obvious now, how could've she missed that? She felt for the family book still hidden in the folds of her dress and cursed her dimness. Eudora looked back at Fairfax, it hurt her to see him struggle so, she wanted to tell him so badly but Folly had a point. You couldn't go around revealing such things. She tore her gaze from his struggling figure and tried to focus on the task ahead as she stepped out from the ruined office into the mass of frozen policemen outside. She glided gracefully in between the guards, not even the hem of her skirt brushing against them, who knew what would happen if they were disturbed? [i]"Who knew, indeed,"[/i] Eudora muttered in her head as she sheepily poked one of the frozen guards in the arm with a shrivelled finger. Nothing. She shrugged and moved on with the rest while occasionally catching a glimpse of Fairfax behind her, a pang of guilt struck her with every look. Eudora partly blamed herself for dragging Fairfax into this. [color=8040bf]"You're a brave man, Fairfax,"[/color] she said as she started to make her way outside, [color=8040bf]"Braver than anyone I know."[/color] That was probably a lie, Eudora knew that if she thought for long enough she could come up with a 100 names. But at that moment, it felt right saying it. She then left without another word.  

Eudora kept a rather steady pace towards the circus but somehow found herself in front of the group. She didn't bother to look back, it was almost as if she was transformed into an automaton, focused on a single goal, her legs gliding in unnaturally smooth swings as she made her way towards the circus, led only by the sound of the other's footsteps behind her. Eudora didn't know what inside her caused her to start acting so deadpan all of the sudden. 

No that was a lie, she knew exactly what was wrong. She blamed herself for dragging all these people into it. But, it wasn't her fault, right? They could all just leave whenever they liked, but they stayed, despite the huge risk it put themselves in. Did they feel obliged? Were they doing it out of the goodness of their hearts or because they were afraid of being alone in these terrifying times? Eudora was so pre-occupied with her thoughts she didn't notice the looming circus tent coming towards her. 

Eudora raised her head a moment before where she would've  smacked it against a pole, letting out a startled "ope" while she surveyed the tent. The high rise poles, the stripped exterior, the way it hung so loosely yet remained so firm. It was like seeing a living illusion to Eudora, and it creeped her out. Eudora never stepped inside a circus tent before, but she cleared her mind of those fears and with a deep breath forced herself to peek into the entrance, letting out a small "Hello?" as she did.
