As Geralt approached Cora further, Ivory immediately squinted her eyes at him. She didn't like it one bit. Her distrust of him only worsened, and she knew now for a fact she would have to keep an eye on him around Cora, and it was clear Lucien shared this sentiment. 

The ringleader looked on with a slightly furrowed brow, and had caught the look Illyana had given him. Ivory's expression only grew more irritated the longer Gerlalt lingered around Cora, and when she opened her mouth to speak, Lucien had decided to quickly interject. 

[color=burlywood]"You shouldn't sell yourself short, Cora."[/color] He said. [color=burlywood]"Do give her some air, Geralt, you don't want to overwhelm her."[/color] He said, before trying to redirect his attention to Aurel. 

[color=burlywood]"This is our charmeur de serpent, Aurel, whose performance you were able to see a piece of earlier."[/color] He added. 

Aurel tensed ever so slightly at being acknowledged, but didn't make any motion to move toward the magician. He too had taken note of the.. close proximity the man had to Cora, and he hoped remaining at a distance would bring him a little away from her. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"Nice to meet you.."[/color] He spoke up.
