Mei smiled as widely as she could, perched on one foot on a ball as she flared her fans before she hopped, pushing the ball away and did a back flip onto a Tiger's shoulders. The beast held still as she started to go through hand stands and other little acrobatics, flicking her fans in and out of her hands in almost a juggler's move. Her smile grew wider as the crowds cheered louder, this part she loved, the true adulation; than the ring mastered started calling over the din and nearly made her smile waver.
Right...this part...
Mei nearly sighed, reluctant as always to do this part of her act; the tigers being forcible lead away much to her distaste. The cage was removed and a smaller circle was put into place with a fake tree. Mei closed bother her fans, bringing them to her sides before she slid elegantly into the fan dance of home; using katas in the motions as the fans she used for the act flared with their gaudily painted pictures and glitter.
The worst part though was the fact that she slowly had to work her way out of the Japanese Kimono she was wearing for this portion, rather than her preferred Quipao. The stupid foreigners didn't know the difference and forced her into it so she could be a geisha never mind that they would likely never see a real one. Those woman were entertainers, not..not...cheap whores! Mei finished with a flourish, glad in a belly dancer's out and got a sickening roar of catcalls. She waited with a fake smile as the ring master added to the frenzy before she was allowed to grab her kimono and get away.
Mei gritted her teeth as she tossed the damned thing over a rack and grabbed her real outfit, finding a quiet dark corner to change into she slid her fans onto her dragons' fist chain and grabbed her parasol. Sneaking a little food she wandered out to the Tiger's pen and flopped down with them; patting their broad heads as she murmured sadly," I miss my family...if they were here they'd beat that bad man..." But those were far off dreams, and for now she just tried to survive the worst of it.
