[ DiamondMirror - Stay calm ]
Just some ideas/thoughts I had while starring at the ceiling in my room (//▽//)
We know that TT and Jester have a very deep bond. At least that's my interpretation. They keep the circus running, TT with his amazing organisation and Jester with his grounding rules and protective personality.
TT being stressed out, this time, numbers are doing worse than ever. Tickets are getting sold less and less. People seem more aggressive, while Jester keeps his calm demeanor, He couldn't help but notice his old friend being more, not aggressive, no that's not it, irritable. He is trying to do everything at once. Numbers. Organisation. Keeping the tents neat and clean, maybe one of the visitors has broken one of his mirrors...
"Those things can happen, Bil. Please. You need to stay calm"
"I am calm. Collected. Everything is fine. You have other things to worry about. Pierrot and Harlequin, they are getting involved with more and more rather aggressive human beings - we need to - "
"There is nothing to worry about. It already got taken care of"
Jester and TT are standing in front of each other. The moon is shining above them, casting shadows and reflections around the two old friends. Gentle and carefully, Jester walked towards TT, their eyes locked into each other. It wasn't an intense or heavy stare, no. There
"Look at me. Trust my words, Bil. You can take things slow for the next few days. Harlequin, Pierrot and I will take care of the ticket sales..."
"Jester, you - they - I..."
TT reached out to his friend, his leader. His hands gently claw into the other's clothes. While Jester notoriously despises being touched by almost anyone, Ticket Taker operates as his trusted confidant and is one of the few exceptions. Jester's notices the exhaustion of his friend. He always did.
"There is no need to feel sorry. I need you, fully functional, fully able to make rational and those emotional choices..."
Jester stopped for a moment. A smile and calm sigh escaped his mouth before He continued speaking.
"How about I treat you to a coffee tomorrow, there is a art exhibition, would you like to join me?"
"Good. Now. Rest. I will take care of the lights tonight"
"Good night, Bil. Rest well"
They nodded, as they slowly parted from each other. Out of sight, Jester couldn't help, but still felt the touch of TT, his loyal friend, around his arm.
He glanced down at the area and couldn't help sighed, his eyes following the circus lights up into the sky, to the full moon
"Maybe its time for a break. Just this once..."
