Akane's smile widened, even if it was impossible to see from behind the mask, but as the man took her hand, a shudder went up her spine. It had been unexpected. Had her ears and tails been out, she imaged her fur would have stood on end, but she got goosebumps instead, and her shadow disfigured briefly into the shape of a fox, but quickly reformed. Geralt had removed his hand from her's, maybe as a result of what had happened if he had taken note of it. She felt a little bad, considering it wasn't intentional, and was quick to recover. Perhaps it was her instinct trying to warn her that the man wasn't normal? Either way, she wasn't about to be rude because of it. That was when she realized she still had her mask on, so she then quickly lifted it up to rest on top of her head and smiled brightly hoping to get rid of the awkward situation. [color=rosybrown]"Sorry! Sometimes I forget I have this on. Seem's like there's a bit of a chill tonight. Are you here to watch?"[/color] She asked with a sheepish expression on her face. Lucien almost held back on rubbing his hand on his forehead as Akane spoke. He had noticed the shudder, but he wasn't sure if it was because the man was magical in some way and this was just Akane's animal instincts reacting to that, or if it was something else. It was most certainly curious, and he'd probably mention it to Illyana later. However the excuse she gave was pretty terrible, considering it wasn't particularly cold, but he didn't comment on it. [color=burlywood]"Well that mask is basically almost a part of you at this point."[/color] Lucien said a little amusingly. [color=burlywood]"We are, Geralt wished to see some of the other performers before his next act began."[/color] He told her.
