It's Christmas eve, the circus is waiting for Caine to arrive. It's currently 10:15PM and everyone's doing their own thing, Pomni and Ragatha are baking cookies together, Gangle is asleep on the couch, Zooble is drunk, Kinger is reading on the couch, and Jax sitting is alone quietly. Kinger looks up from his book and glances around at everyone.

Kinger: "Hey do think Caine will show up soon??"

Jax: sigh "Nah, it's been 2 hours.. I don't think he'll show up at all."
