As the pair walk to the castle they eagerly pass out flyers to everyone that passes by them. It's a long walk, but definitely better than ordering around the rest of the circus. They needed a break from the work. Charmer gasps when she finally spots the castle. She stops so abruptly that she almost injures Peter's arm- who had continued walking.
"It's beautiful~" she whispers.
"It's certainly a sight, but we've seen many castles during our travels, do you really think that this tops them all?" Peter asks.
"Haven't you heard the stories of this kingdom? That means our prize will be great! Now, stop standing around and let's go!" She tells Peter with a grin, obviously ignoring his first question. She grabs his hand and races towards the castle. It's unclear if they don't know or don't care that they can't enter without first meeting a guard.

Stepping past a window, Tirik had to do a double take, nearly tripping backwards the look out into the world again. Was that a circus tent!? Hiding a sneer, Tirik glanced down at the castle, searching for something very signature. And found it. Willing one blade out of it's sheath, he held his arm out the window. A fuzzy sound filled his mind, along with footsteps, many many footsteps, and, "Prize--- great! Stop--- ound--- go!" Pulling his arm back into the window, Tirik cursed the technicalities of the mental link. Willing the blade back, he started to search for the nearest staircase, something conveniently close by. A long, spiral staircase that led directly down to the first floor. Running, Tirik winced as the steps amplified the vibrations his feet made.

"Excuse me sir,but can you guide and accompany me to Tirik's workplace? I,myself, haven't been there but I need to tell him something and they're probably there." She didn't quite know how to feel about asking a guard for help,hence her awkwardness and inability to phrase and convey her question as she should.

"If not that's fine,I understand that you're on duty." she added. There were quite a few neaeby should he decline.

He smiled. "No, no trouble at all, your Highness, follow me!" The knight gestured as he led the way. He was often stationed near Tirik, so he knew the route quite well.

"Thank you,this is very kind of you." she added. She could hear a very soft and faint commotion in the distance which,of course, piqued her curiosity but she paid almost no attention to it. Her head kept flicking towards the guard and the general direction of that noise,trying both not to fall too far behind but also try and figure out what was going on. There were a couple of people spreading...flyers? The distance didn't really help her properly see but she assumed it had something to do with the commotion in the distance.

The knight nodded. "It is my pleausre! I'm always happy to help a member of the Royal Family." He kept walking, easily navigating the twists and turns. "We're nearly there!"

"How do you reckon we'll get inside?" Peter asks Charmer. He was taller than her, and could easily see over the crowd. There was a guard standing by the entrance of the castle. "Do you think they'll let us inside? That'll make our plan a bit... difficult to work with" Peter points out.
"Anything is possible dear, I named myself 'Charmer' for a reason. They'll let us in" Charmer answers, nudging her shoulder against his playfully before moving forward. "Wait-" she pauses and spins around, passing over her flyers and adding it to his stack. "I can do this alone, you can continue spreading the word" she commands.
"Are you sure?" Peter asks.
"Positive now go!" She spins back around and moves to the entrance, Peter watching her go with a sliver of fear in his eyes.

Tirik reached the bottom of the stairs with some amount of headache, and set off to locate the circus folk that he'd seen approaching the castle. He might tell somebody he was looking to greet them, but in all reality he was looking to tell them off. He didn't enjoy the circus, didn't even like it at all. Sighing and rubbing his temples, Tirik stepped out of the castle and started towards where he'd last seen the two approaching people.

With a large, disbelieving frown, Avery looked around town at the Circus flyers, the posters for his stable left discarded on the ground. The young boy looked down at a sodden page with one of his horses on it, picking it up and sinking his shoulders in disappointment. “The circus...” He muttered under his breath, looking around for the people who left them. He spotted one or two stable posters around, but the rest blew in the wind like suppressed memories.

Charmer nearly slams into Tirik as he exits the castle, but she manages to move out of his way just in time. She swallows down the urge to tell him off, that wouldn't help their chances in being able to enter the castle.
"Excuse me!" She calls out. "Sir? I was wondering if we- I-" she catches herself quickly. "If I could gain access to the castle. A tour would be wonderful, this place is stunning and I could use a break from setting up the circus-" she pauses, noticing that he looked rather irritated. "I can return at a better time..." She mutters. So much for my charm.

Tirik was indeed agitated, even more so now that he could see this circus fool up close. From his clothing alone, Tirik could be deemed important. From his stride, he could be deemed proud. And from the look he gave the ringleader, he could be deemed suspicious. "Why do you pursue entry to the castle? At the moment we're dealing with a threat on the king's life." The last words were stressed and silent, like a snake's hiss. "Anybody coming in or out of the castle is out under watch by myself and a few knights. Nobody is alone, and so-called tours are hardly even thought of. I'll ask again, why do you seek entry?" Tirik had told mostly truth. The Royals were under watch by his Guardians and plenty of knights. Servants were viewed via stationary Vigilance Spheres stationed around the castle. And strangers? Strangers were watched by not only the Spheres, but Tirik himself, along with a few summoning relics and djinni.

Charmer raises an eyebrow and looks Tirik over, replying with a simple, irritated hmph. He was someone important, that was for sure, she would have to watch her mouth around him. The news was crushing. This really made her plan difficult. Oh well... There was always plan B. "A threat you say?" Charmer asks. "If you don't mind me asking, how serious is it? This most certainly can't be the only threat the king has ever received" she sighs. "Apologies, I'm just moody because we are behind on our plans" her eyes soften and her tone suddenly becomes sincere "...and I completely understand. I do hope all ends well for the king. I simply just like touring every castle we visit, that's all"

Tirik's lip twitched, his mind processing everything the circus person was saying intensely. Each syllable was broken down, assessed for tone, context, and then compared to the look in the woman's eyes. "Please, say that again? Surely, surely you didn't just ask how serious a threat on the king's bloody life is? I promise you, any threat received sparks a fire that ne'er goes out soon. Our precautions might extend even beyond when the assassin is caught." After a moment, the steely eyes embedded in Tirik's skull glanced over the face of the opposite side of the conversation. Slowly, he spoke. "Show me your hands. Both of them. Hold them out in front of you." A small vial was removed from his belt, and opened.

Charmer didn't wish to reply to his earlier statements, the last thing she wanted to do was anger the mage anymore than how he was now. She hesitates for a moment before extending her hands out, she pulls her hands back a bit when she notices the vial. "What does that do?" She asks catiously. The smallest hint of a smirk appearing on her lips as she adds "surely I'm not that big of a threat that you are planning on poisoning me right away"

Tirik made a "tch" sound, then tipped the vial ever so slightly. Catching what fell from it in his free hand, he threw something in the air. A fine mist appeared above them, then disappeared before it could reach them. "Now hold out your hands." He already had a low tolerance for this person, and she was slowly slicing away what patience he had left. He knew that, with a flick of a single coin, he could wake up something that would force the circus woman to do nearly anything he said, and she was agitating him enough to bring the thing forwards. As soon as the small creature was called off, she would only have a small scar. It was so tempting to him, as the woman kept slicing layers off of his resistance.

"So bossy" Charmer says with a huff. She seemed unaware that she was walking on thin ice right now, or maybe she did know and wanted to continue testing his patience. Either way, she was obviously doing a great job at it. She extends her hands out, watching Tirik work with interest. This was her first time seeing a mage, much less seeing a mage work- although she would prefer it being on someone else, she had a feeling he could kill her by simply coughing.

Tipping a bit of the contents onto her hands, Tirik watched as the mist formed, then dissipated. "Show me both sides. Flip your hands over." He realized he was being aggressive, but it was well deserved if he figured something out with the mist. "Tell me, do you know what this is?" He held up the vial, his mind focusing on both that and her hands.

Charmer did as instructed, but her amused smile doesn't leave her face. "Hmm, looks like kind of cheap parlor trick to me" she knows her words are dangerous, but she can't help herself.
"Charmer!?" A voice calls from behind them. It's Peter, he shoots Tirik a catious look before approaching them. "Is everything okay?"

Tirik chuckled lightly as the mist rose again. "Oh, no. It's not cheap at all." His voice was strained, something between metal against metal, and the sound of grinding your molars together. "In fact, it's worth a fortune by itself. What you made me throw into the air was likely the price of the entire kingdom. It's absolutely priceless, if a man is willing to sell it." His teeth remained gritted, even as Peter trotted up. It almost seemed he didn't notice Peter, as he didn't answer the man's question. He seemed to be restraining himself with his speech as well, as It seemed he would be splattering saliva everywhere if he didn't have his teeth gritted as tightly as they were.

"Everything is fine! This fine man is putting a curse on me or something... You know, the usual" Charmer replies brightly. She stops talking when Tirik mentions the price of the vial. What have I gotten myself into? She thinks to herself. The reality of the situation suddenly hitting her.
"Have you fallen one too many times during your acts? Charmer come on-" Peter says with an irritated sigh. "Sir?" He asks catiously. "Please excuse my wife, she can be a handful at times, we should get back to work anyway, and I would like her back in one piece" his tone is calm and unthreatening, but his body language begs to differ. He seemed prepped to stop this if it turned dangerous; even knowing he stood no chance against a mage.
