His attention lingered a moment longer before he headed for the roped off area. The twin doors were ornate; purposefully severe.
“I’m sure she’ll come round. There’s more to burlesque than getting naked on stage; it’s a storyteller’s art. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to be easy on the eye either.”
He held the door so Nox could have a look at the theatre iinside.
