Ivory was not particularly surprised at the response she had received, figuring they were needed for something. Her comment on the game however did cause her to let out a chuckle. 

[color=darkgray]"On the contrary, I'd find it quite satisfying if I could still achieve victory despite that sight of yours. Though, there [i]are[/i] other games that can be played where that wouldn't help you. You should join us sometime, I'm sure that trailer of yours gets lonely at times." [/color]She commented, before rising from her seat. Aurel had already moved to attempt to put away the cards, but she held up her hand to stop him. [color=darkgray]"Don't clean up just yet, we might be able to pick off where we left off."[/color] She walked around the table as she spoke, grabbing her black cloak which she threw over her shoulders, pulling the hood over her head. If she was going to go out into that bright sun, this was the least she would have preferred to wear. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I agree with Ivory, you should definitely play with us next time."[/color] Aurel piqued in as he followed the two women out of the door of the trailer, closing the door behind him. While Aurel enjoyed playing these games with Ivory, he also quite liked spending time with his other circus mates. Growing up snakes had really been his only company, and his previous circus was not particularly... as nice as this one. He liked how everyone got a long here. It was like a family, and it was something he truly appreciated, having somewhere to belong. 

As Ivory stepped out of her trailer, she squinted her eyes slightly at the burning sun. It wasn't like it [i]hurt[/i] her in any way... but she did find it incredibly annoying, especially for her eyes. It was simply too bright. Being out in it for an incredibly extensive periods of time did end up tiring her out a little. A long nap usually followed such an endeavor. Was it out of tiredness, or laziness? One wouldn't be able to get a direct answer to that question. 

[color=darkgray]"So what does Lucien want? It's not often he calls us all together."[/color] Ivory asked curiously.

Lucien figured that was the case. He couldn't really blame her really, knowing how her people lived. Regardless, he knew he couldn't just let her go out like this in public, he didn't want anything to happen that might end up making her feel uncomfortable. The carnies knew better, but one could never be sure. He made of point of assuring the safety of every one of his members. His eyes darted back down to Cora at her sudden exclamation, however he did not hesitate in his response. [color=burlywood]"Yes of course, I'll look at the map later and see where the nearest body of water is closest to our next destination." [/color]He responded, knowing how important it was to try to get that done as often as they were able. That was the end of that conversation, as Cora seemed to have spotted Akane.

[color=burlywood]"Good eyes, that saves us time."[/color] He told her with a smile, before raising his voice to call out to the other woman. [color=burlywood]"Akane![/color] He called out.

The kitsune had been out and about. Her bright, crimson colored hair, which faded into a firey orange could be seen among some of the carnies, a discerning feature being the long fox ears that rested at the top of her hair. Considering only the carnies were around, there wasn't any need to hide them. At first glance she appeared to be a woman who held an elegance, most prevalent when she performed. Those that knew her however knew better. Her attitude didn't quite match up with her appearance. Her eyes burned with a spark that held an undeniable curiosity and excitement for everything that was going on around her, almost like a young teenager would, especially when it came to discovering new things. Despite the fact she had lived much longer than a lot of the people in the circus, there were still many things she had to, and was quite willing to, learn about.  

At the very moment, Akane was in quite the good mood. She had lifted a bit of the helm of her summer dress, and within it she carried a variety of different tools that the carnies needed to pull apart some of the poles that secured the tents. She had taken the task upon herself to hand them the things they needed so they could finish much faster. She was excited to be on the road again, to see where they might go next. It was as she was running to the next tent to retrieve some of the tools that she heard Lucien call out to her. The kitsune's ears twitched, as she glanced in his direction, smiling upon seeing Cora was with him. She'd usually be in her tank around this time with all the cleaning up going on, so it made her curious as to if something was happening. 

[color=rosybrown]"I hope you don't mind if I leave this here, Lucien's calling for me!"[/color] She told Steve, who gave her a glance. [b]"Tis' fine, thanks for the help."[/b] He replied, taking the tools from her before Akane hurried across to where the ringmaster and Cora were. 

[color=rosybrown]"Good morning you two! Do you need me for something?"[/color] She asked. 

Lucien nodded slightly. [color=burlywood]"Yes, you and the others. I'm calling a bit of a group meeting in my trailer."[/color] Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see that Illy had already grabbed the other two. Normally he would have waited for them so they could all walk there together, but he didn't really want to leave Cora out in the sun for too long. It was much better for her to be inside in this kind of weather, so he decided to go ahead and continue their walk back to his trailer. 

[color=rosybrown]"Ah! I see, how exciting."[/color] She said, before turning to her other friend. [color=rosybrown]"I'm glad to see you out and about this morning, Cora! I was planning to pay you a visit after I helped around a little more."[/color] The kitsune told her with a smile.
