Geralt immediately noticed the shudder run up the girl's body at his touch, and was quick to withdraw his hand. His eye twitched ever-so-slightly as he caught sight of her shadow twisting form. It looked to him to be a quadruped of some kind, a dog or cat, but it was too fast for him to make out more detail than that.

Perhaps this was the same reason their gypsy had declined to touch him as well? Although, this Akane didn't seem to be prepared for it. He maintained his easy smile throughout their exchange, not wanting her to know that her sudden reaction had bothered him in any way. Still...it was intriguing. Her attempt to excuse the reaction was cute, to say the least, Geralt almost sighed in sympathy for her.

[color=crimson]"No need to apologize,"[/color] he said as she removed her mask, [color=crimson]"Although, I don't see why you would want to hide that gorgeous face."[/color] And she was quite beautiful, and very exotic. Although it was hard for him to tell her age, she could have been anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five. He made a mental note to find this out later.

[color=crimson]"We are indeed here to see your show, and I must say I cannot wait. Watching is sometimes more fun than participating."[/color] He said with a quick wink. Then, his eyebrows furrowed as he leaned forward, keeping his hands clasped together behind his back. [color=crimson]"And, was that 'Akane' I heard Lucien say? Am I pronouncing that right? It has a lovely sound, do you mind if I ask it's origins?"[/color]

Although Geralt had traveled much of Europe, he had never made his way to Asia. He heard they had lovely scenery there, and fascinating cultural practices. He knew he would make his way there eventually.

[i][color=crimson]There's always time...[/color][/i] The dark chuckle resounded through his thoughts once more.
