[Allen sat in the center of Twilight Town, the device sitting at the side and Timcampy resting upon his head as he held some juggling balls within his hands. He kept his eyes on them for a moment before he started to juggle, his eyes focusing on them as they went higher and higher. It was nice to relax every now and again and juggling always helped that when not training, working or generally being of use fighting. He enjoyed being a clown and he had enjoyed the time he had learning how to juggle and how to do the things performers do. As he went higher, a couple of kids had been walking home from school stop by. The younger one looked amazed.]

Oh wow!

[Not noticing that the kids were there, one of them suddenly speaking made him lose focus and ended up the balls landing one by one on his head, making the children laugh at him. It was something he could be use to by now.]

You're funny, mister.

[Allen rubbed his head for a moment with his left gloved hand as he looked over, only to realize the kids had come in closer and started to ask him questions.]

Are you a clown?

How can you juggle like that?

Why is your hair white? Is it because your older than you look?

What's that marking on your eye about?

[Allen just stared at the two, unsure of what exactly he was meant to do. Was he meant to answer them or not? kids were rather confusing sometimes. But he knew he should at least smile.]

I'm not older than I look, I'll admit that. [He kept the balls in his hand as he stood up.] But, I can juggle again if you want? [If it stops them asking inappropriate questions, he'll do it. So he watched as the kids started to clap.]

Juggle mister, please!

[This made Allen laugh slightly before he started up again. He couldn't help but laugh at those kids. They were adorable.]

[Hotaru also giggles when Allen allows the balls to fall on his head. It's not just little kids who find things like that funny. ]

It's very nice of you to try and entertain them like that.

[mynameisallen]

[Allen watches as the kids soon leave as he once more rubs his head.]

Well it was that or they would continue to ask questions.

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

You don't really like answering questions?

[Opps! That was a question... sorry! She's curious!]

[Video]

[mynameisallen]

Depends on the question.

[His hair and eyes are a sensitive subject.]

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

I can understand that.

[There are just some things people don't want to talk about.She has those too.]

Distracting them is a good way to get out it it then.

[Video]

[mynameisallen]

Exactly, especially since they forgot about it afterward.

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

Is it alright if I ask... where do you learn to juggle like that? It looks like a lot of fun.

[If he seems hesitant to answer she won't ask again. ]

[Video]

[mynameisallen]

I learnt from Mana. [It's one thing he will at least admit.]

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

[Hmm, just one problem... Hotaru doesn't know who Mana is. This does require another question you know.]

Is Mana a friend of yours?

[Video]

[mynameisallen]

He... was more than a friend. He was very much like a father figure to me.

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

[A father figure was he? This sounds like painful territory, at least speaking about her father could be so she saw no reason to dig into that further. It might just make the conversation awkward. ]

Thank you for the show. You are a great juggler and you really made me laugh.

[Video]

[mynameisallen]

Ah, you're welcome. That's why people juggle, for people's amusement after all.

[applejackd]

video;

[mynameisallen]

Ah, thanks. [He smiles for a moment before the question about what else he can juggles appears.] I believe I can, but I've never attempted it before.

[applejackd]

I think ya'll should give it a try. y'Know, yer really talented, sugarcube, and I'd been talkin' with somepony about havin' a sort of talent show. I think ya'll would be perfect.

video;

[mynameisallen]

Ah, thanks. But I wouldn't have been able to ever juggle if it wasn't for Mana.

video;

[applejackd]

[ frowns. had she hit a sore spot? ] Mana? Is that a friend of yers?

video;

[mynameisallen]

He wasn't a friend. he was like a father to me when I was growing up.

video;

[applejackd]

[ and her smile is back. ] well that's great. Maybe ya'll can teach me to juggle too.

video;

[mynameisallen]

I can always try.

video;

[applejackd]

If'n it ain't too much trouble. I don't want to be no bother 'er anythin'.

video;

[mynameisallen]

Well I have free time during the day so it's not a problem.

video;

[applejackd]
