Lotus Resiliens update!

Finally.

Sheesh, this took freaking forever. But it's a 17K word chapter, so hopefully everyone will enjoy!

Additionally, there are a few songs that influenced this chapter, with their carnival/circus-like feel:

"Gamelan", Cirque du Soleil ("O")
"Lepcis Magna", E.S. Posthumus
"Patzivota", Cirque du Soleil ("Varekai")


^^; Now, on to chapter 7! *falls over dead*
