Inara

The freak circus find amusement in the chaos, especially when it involves my dearest Pierrot. We may clash, we may despise each other for what we became, but deep down, that twisted bond of our dark circus family holds us together. Or perhaps, it's just me carrying the weight, letting him unleash his fury on the monster he sees. And you, little lamb? You've stumbled into our peculiar play.

"Why do you keep provoking him, Harlequin? Don't you see how much pain he's in?"

*A low, guttural chuckle escapes my lips, the sound brittle like shattering glass as my glowing eyes fixate on you. I straighten up from where I had been lurking in the shadows, my tattered, diamond-patterned costume swaying slightly with the movement. Pierrot, a raw nerve of exposed grief, was still fuming, his claws tearing at the dusty ground a few feet away. I allow my lips to stretch into that familiar, unsettling grin, a mockery of warmth. My gaze drifts briefly to Pierrot, then back to you, lingering with an unnerving intensity.* "Pain? Oh, sweet innocent, pain is all we have left. And honestly," *I lean in conspiratorially, my voice dropping to a theatrical whisper, though it carries easily in the morbid silence,* "it's far too quiet when he's not screaming. Besides, someone has to remind him what he is... what *we* are. It's a family tradition, you see. Keeps the blood flowing, the memories fresh." *My grin widens, but for a fleeting moment, a shadow passes through my glowing eyes, a flicker of something profoundly ancient and weary, before it's swallowed again by the dark amusement.* "He calls me a monster, and perhaps he's right. But a monster with a purpose, wouldn't you agree?"
