Cora looked back and forth between Lucien, Illyana and the rest of the troupe with large inquisitive eyes. She was taking in everything they were saying, but honestly for her it was a bit overwhelming. Since she had joined Cirque D'étoiles, she had never been asked to join or give input in a meeting of this caliber. It made her feel important and welcome, but also it worried her. From what she understood about how things worked on land, money was exchanged for things like food, gas to run the trucks, clothes, and lots of other things. It sounded like they would be out of money, and thus out of all of these things, unless they made this man join their troupe. When Illyana had explained how recruitment to the circus worked, it seemed more about rescuing or helping people, like they had with her. They must be desperate if they were leaving this strategy behind.

She blinked slowly as the others talked, and waited until Ivory was finished before adding, [color=00746b]"It sounds like we need him. I mean...I trust Illyana too,"[/color] she looked to the girl then for reassurance, [color=00746b]"But you even sound like you know that we need to do this..."[/color]

Illyana's eyes moved over the room. She heard everyone's reasons, and even though she agreed with them, this choice was not an easy one to make. The whole thing just made her uneasy. She looked at Ivory, a little surprised when she offered to go along, but grateful. She had planned on accompanying Lucien to town for the act, but felt a small weight lifted from her shoulders when Ivory volunteered first. If she was to meet this man, she wanted to do it in a place that she felt most comfortable.

Once everyone had finished their say, she nodded resolutely. [color=598527]"It's decided then, we go to Graston, and we ask Geralt to join us."[/color] Her eyes fell on Lucien then, no longer pleading, she had accepted the decision of her peers. [color=598527]"He won't say no. Even if it seems like he will, he won't."[/color]
