Geralt did not react to Lucien's first statement at all, and kept his eyes locked on Cora's. She did nothing to break their contact, aside from glancing away from him in embarrassment, so he did not feel any need to do so. He let his eyes rove over her body for just an instant, a little sad that she had dressed so conservatively. He could tell that she was extremely slender, but shapely nonetheless. 

He could tell that Lucien was eager to move on from this display, and he guessed that Ivory might be as well, even without looking at her. Was there nothing he could do that would not draw her ire?

However, he did slowly start to move away and allowed Cora's hand its freedom. She took it back gracefully, blushing all the same. Her contact with Geralt had not been unpleasant at all, in fact, quite the opposite. Although she had been embarrassed by his attention, it had given her quite the thrill. She hoped that one day soon she could watch his show and that he could see her contribution to the troupe.

It was Aurel's accent that truly drew Geralt's full attention away from Cora. [color=crimson]"Ah, Aurel, eh?"[/color] He said and approached the lad, holding out his hand to shake, [color=crimson]"Ist das ein deutscher akzent den ich höre?"[/color] He asked in his native tongue, then looked over his shoulder at Lucien, [color=crimson]"You didn't tell me you already had a German in your troupe, there goes my novelty."[/color]
