Akane wasted no time in opening the door once her friend had given her permission to enter, smiling brightly at Cora. [color=rosybrown]"Good morning!"[/color] She chimed, waving up at her. [color=rosybrown]"I'll help you get your clothes together!"[/color] She exclaimed as she walked over to her drawer. She thought about what she should pick, and had noticed last night that Cora seemed quite uncomfortable in the clothes Illy had chosen for her. While she knew it was to be more.. conservative, she didn't want to make her spend the rest of the day in discomfort, as opposed to the day before when she had only dealt with it for a little while. Instead, she chose a summer dress similar to her own. She found these comfortable and they covered enough, so she figured Lucien or Illyana wouldn't have a problem with it. She turned and walked next to the makeshift slide that had been made to make it easy for Cora to get out of her tank. [color=rosybrown]"Did you sleep well?"[/color] She asked her. [color=rosybrown]"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."[/color] -- As the mess area came into view again, Lucien was surprised to see Geralt already there. It seemed he had shown up sometime after he had left to go arrange things with the carnies. Seeing Illyana there however, he quickened his pace. While his line of sight of the man wasn't the best, he felt he was too close for comfort. Knowing how sensitive Illyana was because of her psychic ability, he didn't want him touching her, especially not this soon when they still didn't know very much about him. He'd rather avoid Illyana being exposed to any intense visions that touching him could possibly give her. [color=burlywood]"Good morning."[/color] He greeted them both, taking a moment to glance in Illyana's direction. Her expression was a little.. off, but he assumed that was because Geralt had most likely pulled her into conversation. She seemed slightly more well rested than last night, but there was still some tiredness to her expression. He certainly hoped she hadn't stayed up doing more research, and for a moment, his expression reflected that, since he had wanted her to get more sleep today. He didn't feel like either of them had been here very long, as he had missed both of their arrival when he had been here earlier. He stopped a little behind her, and reached out to gently take the clipboard from her hands. He was willing to bet Illyana hadn't eaten yet. [color=burlywood]"Breakfast has already been prepared, Illy. Have some, I'll finish this."[/color] He said, motioning to the prepared dishes with his free hand. It was harder to tell because the food had been covered to keep the bugs away, but enough had already been made for everyone. Lucien always made a point to make sure the troupe had their share of food before they started working. Everyone's health was important to him, and Illy had a habit of working a little too much, so he knew he sometimes had to keep an eye on her work habits. He supposed that was partially his fault, considering he too was a bit of a workaholic. It was then that he turned to Geralt. [color=burlywood]"I hope your new home treated you well?"[/color] He asked. Paying closer attention, the man also did not look particularly well rested. Perhaps unpacking his things had taken longer than he thought it would? -- A ray of light hitting his face was what roused Aurel from his sleep. Amber had slithered out through his window, and that had shifted his curtain enough for the rise of the sun to be made known to him. He squinted slightly, and while a part of him considered maybe going back to sleep, he decided against it. Today would be the first morning Geralt would spend here, so he felt he couldn't just.. be idle in his room. If he was an early riser, he wanted a chance to observe him properly as he interacted with the others. With a sigh he got up, and got ready for the day, slipping into one of the yukatas Akane had gotten for him. His first instinct was to choose a snake to take with him, but then he decided against it, remembering that he had decided to not carry any on his person. It felt... strange. [color=#a7d3d4]"Well.. I'm going to go get breakfast. You can all roam as you please but, just be watchful okay? And no aggressive action."[/color] He added a bit more sternly toward the end. Not all of his snakes were here, but he knew they would share the information. [b]"Be careful.. Do not let the man get too close."[/b] Liquorice hissed, to which he nodded. [color=#a7d3d4]"I will."[/color] He told them, before heading out.
