Ivory glanced over at Illyana and Cora at their small exchange. She couldn't blame her apprehension, considering she knew exactly how much this vision had impacted her back when it had first happened. It made her a little wary too, to be perfectly honest. Putting the carnies aside, she did trust every member of this troupe. The possibility of there being one among them who might not deserve that trust was a little unsettling. She wasn't afraid, not for herself, but there were others here she felt could easily fall victim to a manipulative man. She would have to be on the look out for all of them. She had a strong desire to protect the peace they had. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"We will! I might not be the strongest man around but.. my snakes will be on the look out for anything dangerous, I promise!" [/color]Aurel attempted to provide some small amount of reassurance. Since coming here, his reptilian friends had grown more accustomed to humans, and had also learned to put a bit of trust in them. Everyone here had been incredibly nice to him after all, and the snakes appreciated that. Lucien was always nice enough to make sure the snakes were well taken care of and comfortable as well. He knew how important they all were to him. That's why he was so willing to put his faith in him. 

Akane smiled widely and wrapped her arms around both Cora and Illyana, pulling them close, uncaring of the dampness the contact with the mermaid created. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh most definitely! I'm looking forward to it! Everyone will have to come! Including you, Illy! We all have to have fun together!"[/color] She exclaimed. 

Lucien smiled warmly at the displays of trust and affection among his troupe. This was one of his favorite parts of running a place like this, being able to see such connections between people. 

[color=burlywood]"If all goes well, I would be completely alright with a little celebration, [i]in moderation[/i] of course."[/color] He said. Considering they were currently in a deficit, he didn't want them to go too crazy, but at the same time he didn't want to deny them the rights to celebrate. With everything that was happening, they deserved a chance to just have a little fun. 

[color=burlywood]"Well, with all that out of the way, I must go check on how it's going out there and see if we'll be ready to set out soon. All of you feel free to return to your trailers or do as you will. Cora, would you like me to take you back?"[/color] He asked, wanting to make sure of what the mermaid wanted to do before he left the trailer. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh I can take her back if you want! Gives us more time to hang out!"[/color] Akane said, glancing down at Cora with a smile. 

[color=darkgray]"We'll be sure she gets back safely, so go do what you do Lucien."[/color] Ivory piqued in, figuring there was no need for him to remain if he had other things to do. 

Lucien nodded, rising from his chair once more and then headed for the door. As he passed Illyana, he placed a hand lightly on her shoulder, an attempt to reassure her, that everything would be alright. He gave them all a small smile, before he left his trailer. It seemed the carnies were just about done in having taken everything apart. The only thing that was left was loading it all up into the trucks.
