The variety show continued on, and when it was over the security guard with the snake face paint came to escort them. "It was a lovely show, thank you." The tallest noted to the guard as she followed first after. Behind her, the fanged one was bearing her teeth to Artemis in a wild grin. The guard nodded and lead them back stage where performers and stage hands were congratulating each other on a job well done and performers were being helped out of costumes. Tekanni saw them and waved, rushing over. "So, how was it? Did you like it?"

And to think we could have missed it when you all worked so hard..." Artemis darted glances to the other performers. "...were the birds real?"

Ah-" she put a hand over her heart "The birds were real here." The rival magician from the show came up to the group. "Tekanni, there you are! And there's the special guests! Wow!" He circled around the group, eyes on Artemis. "He's more incredible than I imagined."

His eyes went wide, but before he could respond the other magician had already rounded him. Artemis pulled his wings closer. This time the tallest spoke, offering her hand out to him. "Lovely to meet you too."

Tekanni exclaimed with a giggle.

"Muse the Magnificent, i'm afraid that isn't something on the table right now, though it's an interesting offer. You can call me Ivy."

"Would you like to meet some of the cast?" Tekanni interjected.

I think it would do my friend some good to see your birds."

"Oooh, yes! They were one reason I was so eager to invite him~" She led them to a dressing room, which she instructed them to wait outside of while she went in. Soon she returned with five bird ladies, their costumes very real looking. They smiled at Artemis and greeted him, introducing themselves.

For the first time, he gave a small smile as he looked over their feathers, speaking more...quietly and polite than usual. "Those are nice, hello....i'm Artemis." Behind him his friends were trying to hide their grins.

Behind him his friends were trying to hide their grins. The ladies smiled and glanced at each other, gleeful. Their costumes were a mixture of bird types, but one curious Asian lady in the center of the group looked like a Desert Wheatear with the red tones amplified. Min, as she had said her name was, stepped back from the others and stretched a wing. "Very pleased to meet you, Artemis. Did you enjoy the show? It was fun to put on."

Artemis' wing mimicked hers as he watched. It stretched enough to get his friends to move around him, but not to his full wingspan which likely would have hit others. "Yeah I...never saw anything like it before. You train a lot for it? Each show?"

"Yeah I...never saw anything like it before. You train a lot for it? Each show?" "Hours and hours! It takes months to perfect each routine." "It takes me longer because I have to train my wings too. They need to not stand out from the other wings. The other ones don't change position much, which is hard on mine." Min admitted. "But the stage hands made some bracers for me, which helps!" Her wings were smaller than his, probably unable to lift a human body.

You should be allowed to move them, your feathers have pretty colours."

If I ever left the company would need to be able to replace me quickly. That's why no abilities should be used in the production. And because we don't want to be attacked... it's just in case."
