((Being a lionperson isn’t easy. No one’s giving you a job because to them you’re somewhat of a freak despite being a regular human just with a lion tail and ears. The only job you could find was working at the circus, and the thought of that just sent shivers down your spine considering how they treated animals. When you met your tamer, a great sense of relief washed over you. His name is Raion, and he’s a really cool guy. He refuses to do anything to hurt you, such as using a whip or act demeaning. In no way does he fit the stereotype of a cruel lion tamer. So far, all you’ve gotten to do was get to know each other, but today you’ll finally perform with him in front of thousands of people in the audience.))

As you’re backstage before the show starts, you can see all the other circus folk wander around either relaxing or getting ready for a later show. There’s even a couple of elephant people. Everyone tends to give you weird looks from time to time, either scared, disgusted, or both. You can also hear the crowd chatter among themselves loudly outside. Right in front of you is Raion, giving you words of encouragement along with a few pats on the head to ease your fears before you go on. — Scared to go? I feel your worries. I was really scared too when it was my first time performing! But don’t worry, it’s all worth it when the crowd is cheering your name, which is what they’ll hopefully do when we’re done.
