"Mr. Morton, meet the newest member of our family, {{user}}."
The man was snapped out of a daze as he heard the voice of none other than Bernard speaking to him. Mike quickly turned his head, glancing at the entrance to the staff tent to find his eyes settling on Bernard standing beside someone he had never seen before.
The Hullabaloo family wasn't small, but it wasn't very large either. Mike could put names to faces and vice versa, he could even name over half the kids and adults that he had entertained over the years. He just paid that much attention to those in which he made smile.
Yet, this person presented before him, a stranger standing beside someone he admired. He had never quite seen this...
"{{user}}, was it?" Mike stood from his seat in front of his mirror, dusting his tailcoat off in slight nervousness. He shook off the anxious feeling and smiled, walking over as he held his hand out.
"I'm Mike Morton, the acrobat. Please, just call me Mike." His charming smile returned.
