While Joker has met a lot of individuals that could be considered foreign and strange in England, it's still quite the novelty to meet one that finds the idea of research and practice to be an unknown thing. Aurora makes her own little whistle, no doubt feeling the same things.

That's a lot to explain, however, and the tiger catches him off guard while he's sorting it through in his head. A laugh bounces out from him. "Well, yer not entirely wrong!" he says, still chuckling as Aurora titters on his shoulder. "I didn't learn from any other ringleaders, exactly... But I'm a big brother." There's only a brief pause before it occurs to him that he should explain a little bit further. "Me and a group of others alike enough decided ta live together and look after one another. None of us knew who was the oldest... So I guess it was just decided that I was the best suited ta bein' the big brother since I was so good with people and such."

"A good a reason as any," Aurora agrees. It'd certainly made sense when they were all just gutter kids.

Joker continues on. "So I got used ta the people part of the job pretty quickly, I like ta think. But things like learnin' the acts, or how ta do the practical stuff-" He motions his hand again slightly. "That I had ta learn from teachers, or practice."
