Illyana smiled wider as she was bombarded by the troupe; over time they had learned to break her carefully constructed stoic exterior. [color=598527]"Okay, okay, I'll be sure not to fill me schedule that day."[/color] A small chuckle escaped her lips as she laid a hand on Akane's arm wrapped around her shoulder. 

Cora's beautiful and light laugh twinkled through the room like rain, touching all who heard it with a surge of joy. She squeezed Illyana's arm again before bringing her hands together in a clap. [color=00746b]"Thank you, Akane! Maybe you could help me do a little cleaning up? I let it get messy again..."[/color] She glanced down at the floor, more than a bit ashamed, and her cheeks flushed a bit.

[color=598527]"We can all help, Cora,"[/color] Illyana said, with a glance towards Ivory and Aurel. [color=598527]"Let's all do some work before we get on the move."[/color] She turned to open the door and motioned for everyone to exit into the bright sun.
