"Oh hon, I'll show you the ropes. Just don't touch anything or anyone without asking first, and you should be fine." she smiled, leading Anna aside and beckoning for Elanor to follow.
Elanor nodded slightly, and following Boston and Anna through the room, quiet as she took in everything. She gradually began to get used to everything, not questioning what was happening, just kind of letting it go.
One of the dancers gave El a friendly, chaste wave, and gestured for his troupe to step off of the stage and head to the back. A woman was sitting on a bench where two women in heavy overcoats were trying to convince her of something, probably to not dance as it was clear her leg and foot had swollen beyond even fitting her shoes. Anna immediately went to tend to her. "Esther, that's no sprain, that's a break. Here, let me fix this up…" she said, taking the medical kit Boston always kept in the club out and began to work on the wound.
"So, what do you think? Probably not all good things, but I'm hoping you won't be too judgmental of my little show here." she chuckled to Elanor.
Elanor returned the wave, then looked at Boston. "Hm? Oh, uhm, I…it's certainly different than anywhere else I've ever been." She said slowly. "I…haven't quite formed an opinion beyond that, though." She laughed a little, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Oh, you're sweeter than sugar dear. Listen, I'll tell you what. I noticed you have a pretty handy sword there, my girls would'a stepped in had you not pulled that out and used it to completely demolish those two Dorsol brothers. We've been trying to do for weeks what you managed to do in one night! I didn't know they'd be so scared of a puny little Danish girl but here we are!" she chuckled. "Anyways, I need a few favors, a few people put in their place. There's this gang that's been harassing my girls, and while we've been doing as best we could, it hasn't been going smoothly. You see where I'm going with this?" Boston asked.
"Stop trying to recruit my patients for nefarious purposes! I won't have murder on her record!" Anna called, as she worked on setting and wrapping up Esther's leg.
El blinked at Anna's words. Technically, she already had murder on her record. Two counts of it, actually, unless you counted what she had done to Rosencratz and Guildenstern. She didn't, seeing as how they had been going to do the same to her. She looked carefully at Boston. "I might be able to do something, but I'm not doing anything public. No one gets to see my face or know that I did it. And I do have a reason for that, but it…isn't one I can tell you."
"Oh I understand it. A good reputation, tarnished. My girls don't care much for reputation and neither do I, it's useless and gets you nowhere joyful, but I respect those that hold it close to their heart. " she smiled.
She shrugged a little. It was not her good reputation. She just didn't want word getting back to Denmark that she was alive and here in London. She really, really didn't want that to happen. Then Horatio and Fortinbras would send people after her, and she would have to face consequences for what had happened. And that was just…not ideal. "Yeah, something like that." Was all she replied aloud, not wanting to explain all of what she was thinking.
(uh, bump?)
(I swear I’ll respond! I’m just terrible.)
(alright! Just wasn't sure if you'd forgotten :)
“Hon, if something’s bothering you, you can tell me about it. I’m a friend here.” she smiled. “Then again, I’d hate to intrude, but then again, I think I already have.” Boston shook her head and stared off at the wall.
Elanor laughed a little bit. "It's nothing, Boston. At least, nothing you need to worry about. I can take care of myself, and in any case, it's… difficult to explain." Not that she wanted to even try. It would take too long and be too difficult.
