Lucien leaned back on his chair, simply waiting for her to arrive. Even though it had only taken a couple minutes, it felt like much longer to him. There were too many things for him to consider at the moment. Their destination, for one, was a very important one. They couldn't afford to make a mistake this time around. They needed a successful set of shows. If finding this magician could get them this then, he'd be willing to take the risk. Golden eyes shifted toward the door, hearing the familiar knock. He didn't have to say anything, as the door then opened, revealing Illyana. [color=burlywood]"Come on in, please, do take a seat."[/color] He said, motioning over to one of the chairs across his desk. His trailer didn't hold many unnecessary things. There was the 'office' side to his trailer, holding his desk, a couple chairs for visitors, and a few filing cabinets for organization's sake. He liked to keep things organized. Aside from that, all he had was his bed, and a simple, comfortable couch for him to do his reading in. The ringleader had a modest life growing up, he didn't really see the need to have more than he needed. [color=burlywood]"I assume you already know what this is about."[/color] He told her, eyes trailing to the financial statements he had previously been reviewing. He pushed them slightly in her direction so she could look through them herself, and let out a small sigh. [color=burlywood]"It's not good. We've never had a deficit this large. Even if we hit the next town.. I'm afraid we might not make enough to feed everyone, and cover travelling expenses on top of that. I cannot let things continue like this, not this time. I know that you are not a fan of the idea but.. We need him, Illy."[/color] It was clear that this was not incredibly easy for him to ask. It hadn't been the first time he had played with the idea, but he didn't know what else to do. It wasn't even for the fame and fortune, he knew something like this was necessary, and getting someone as well known as him was one of the best ways he could think of to grab the public's attention.
