"No," Gwynplaine said hesitantly. "In truth, I do not know its origins. But I think I'm... that is to say, I remember England."

He watched softly from the shadows as one of the runaways spoke with the smiling man, his lips curled in to a vicious smile. He did not emerge from his place, for he wished to know more of the girl, more her likes and dislikes.
It would help him in deciding if he was to make her one of his clowns, one of his...
Toys.

((I don't know what you have planned, but oh I approve.))
*She sensed a touchy subject, and decided not to press the matter of his past. His business was his business, after all.*
"I've been to England once," *she said.*

((He's dirty, that's all I know about him right now, and he's obsessive and possibly murderous and has a thing for runaways. That's about all I've hashed out for the boy, girl, thing.
PM me if your interested in possibly having Pina being the object of his obsession.))

((Dunno if he likes boys, but Shadi is currently disguised at one. If he watched Pina long, he'll see her, too.))
"Have you?" Gwynplaine politely replied. "What did you think? I remember very little."

"I was staying in a big house in Cornwall for my mother's wedding."
*She thought of how to phrase this for a moment.*
"It was. Um. Interesting."

((Oh he likes it all))
He watched the way she moved and sighed softly, the image of her sprawled across his bed came floating through his mind and made him sigh again.
She was gorgeous in her deformity and wonderful, he wanted so much to run out and take her then. But it simply wasn't right, not at that moment, she needed to know him first, to know the show.
Then she could know him, oh yes, she'd know him.
He slowly retreated back and went off to prepare for the show.

"Your mother's wedding," Gwynplaine repeated, once again wondering what such a young woman was doing here. Apart from the nose, and her apparent need for nourishment, she was comely enough, and seemed to have family. Her presence here was a mystery. "It must have been very fine, to take place in such a house."

*She shrugged.*
"My mum's friend who owned the house hosted it. It was... a bit of a disaster, actually. Um."
*She shifted uncomfortably, trying to think of how to best summarize it.*
"I found the boat where the owner's first wife drowned and the housekeeper thought I was her come back from the dead and then the west wing of the house burned down."
*She paused apologetically.*
"I'm not going back to England."

Gwynplaine's eyes widened as she told the story, and in his sympathy and surprise at the bizarre tale he allowed his scarf to slip, displaying the fixed, wide grin that was generally at odds with the gentle sorrow in his eyes. "That's horrible," he said. "I'm so sorry, Mlle Pina, and grateful for your survival." He realized belatedly that his voice was not muffled and one hand shot up to cover his mouth as the other reached again for the scarf, his eyes apologizing all the while.

*Her eyebrows shot up- so that's what the scarf was for. She quickly adjusted the look of shock on her face to a more natural expression. What right did she have to be like that when people gave her pitied, surprised and horrified looks every day. So she decided not to say anything, and go back to the pleasant discussion about unpleasant happenings in Cornwall.*
"Well, it's over, anyway," *she said hurriedly after a pause that was a bit too long.*

She did not laugh, and she did not start or scream or ask what he found so funny, and for that he was grateful. But she had seen. Strange, to be so sensitive to it when he displayed himself every day, and when she herself was clearly quite comfortable with her appearance.
"Yes," he agreed, assuming that her haste meant she was eager to be done with the conversation. "And I have kept you too long, I am certain."

"It's okay. I don't really have anywhere else to be. Just looking around like I said."
*She shifted a little uneasily.*
"I mean, unless I'm keeping you-"

"No," Gwynplaine said quickly. "You aren't. But you've already been most kind." He meant that sincerely, for she had not reacted like most others. "I have no wish to make you more uncomfortable."

"You're not. It's okay, really.*
*She gave him a small smile, a little apologetic and a little awkward, and decided that a change of subject was in order.*
"So. You think I should learn something circus...y, instead of just being, you know, here? What do you think? I bet I could ride a unicycle if I tried really hard and they wanted to see me fall over a lot."
