Ivory glanced down at Cora, taking note of the unease in her expression. She hadn't thought that stating this was that big of a deal but, maybe it was to Cora. Sometimes it was easy to forget that she was from a completely different place than them. Perhaps she would mention it to the others so at least the mermaid wouldn't be as lonely for extensive periods of time in the morning. She glanced back up as Akane approached them.

[color=darkgray]"Good morning."[/color] She responded. 

[color=rosybrown]"I'm glad to see you two got back alright last night! I tried to stay up but I ended up falling asleep."[/color] She said a little sheepishly before looking down at Cora. [color=rosybrown]"Are you alright?"[/color] She asked, taking note of the bit of strain in her smile. 

It was then that Aurel finally caught up to them, and began to join them on their walk to Lucien's trailer. [color=#a7d3d4]"Good morning everyone.."[/color] He greeted. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh you still look quite sleepy, Aurel. I didn't think anyone other than Ivory disliked waking up this early."[/color] She commented with a small chuckle. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I usually don't, but Ginger decided to use me as a pillow last night. It made it a little hard to sleep."[/color] He said with a small chuckle. It wasn't like he really minded though. He appreciated that the snakes stayed with him even though they could easily go back out into the wild. They, like the circus, were also a part of his family. 

Ivory simply smiled amusingly at the comment, finding no need to decline that. It was true after all. The fact no one would catch her up as early as dawn was a well known fact, unless she had some packing up to do. She much rather preferred getting that over with before the sun came up. When they reached Lucien's trailer, she moved around Cora's chair to pick her up as usual, before they heading inside with her.

Lucien raised an eyebrow as his troupe entered his trailer, surprised that Illyana wasn't with them. He greeted them good morning before tilting his head curiously. [color=burlywood]"Is Illyanna up?"[/color] He asked. About this time the girl was already up and about. Sometimes she was an even earlier riser than he was. Considering it seemed she planned to look into things last night, he really hoped she hadn't ended up pulling an all-nighter.
