[ It's because he's a pierrot who mirrors the classic European Whiteface clown as opposed to Auguste. ✰ The elegant and aristocratic "straight man" who chastises the buffoon, delicate and precise. He's a clown -- but he's a refined one.
Also, he can cheat because of that left arm of his. Though he was always very nimble and acrobatic even when it was about as useful as a club.
He casts her a smile when she laughs and claps -- there's a reason he once said that if he no longer had to be an exorcist, he'd like to just be a clown again in order to make people smile -- and throws everything he had been juggling up high with both hands. ]
Hm? [ It's a thoughtful hum, glancing down at her despite the sparklers that dance end over end high above them, leaving dazzling trails in the sky before they begin to fall back to earth. Perilously...?!
-- nah. Don't worry, he catches them in both hands with a quick series of snatches, all of them neatly falling in a line into his hands while miraculously all pointed the right way so as not to burn him. And that he throws out then with a flick of his wrist like darts. One, two, three, four, five, six -- all of the sparklers embedding into the ground in a circle around them both while they continue to burn.
Does he wink? Maybe. You'd have to be watching really closely. ]
Florian and Jonquil? [ He just gives her a curious, good-natured sort of smile at that, like he absolutely wasn't just being a showman. ]
