[Yeah, he’s picking up on that nervousness. Joker sort of gets it- it’s a weird place, and it looks too nice for some of their lot, who’ve been traveling in tents for months, now. Years, for some of them.]

[Grimacing, he passes wooden fingers over his hair, taking care not to bump them into his antlers. Snake being here- any of his family, his circus, being here reminds him all too much of how he’s changed.]
I went ta go check in with…. The person behind the circus- [And oh the will it takes to keep his voice under control as he says that.] -about things, and I got delayed. And then ‘delayed’ turned inta a…. Problem. I was tryin’ ta deal with it, and, well.
