Cora clapped her hands together enthusiastically before reaching out and taking Akane's hand in her own. Her skin, as always, was cool and soft and very pleasant to the touch. 

[color=00a99d]"I just love your...Yukatas?"[/color] She stuggled over the word briefly, still not quite sure of certain accents used by others in the troupe. [color=00a99d]"Maybe, the next time we can go to town, I could get one too? Do you think Lucien would be okay if I used some of my money for that?"[/color] She asked, genuinely curious as they made their way out of her trailer.

Currently, though she was paid her cut just as the rest of the performers were, she simply donated it to the good of the entirety of Cirque D'étoiles. Though Lucien promised her he would still keep it aside for her in case she ever wanted anything, she never really asked for things. She didn't really see the need to, as she had everything she needed right here with Akane and the rest of her friends.

[color=598527]"Good morning, Aurel."[/color] Illyana said in response to his greeting. Her voice had brightened considerably when she interacted with Lucien and Aurel. She brought her plate over to the table and took a seat next to Lucien. She had not filled the entirety of the dish, and in fact was a very dainty eater in addition to everything else. She never found herself with a particularly large appetite, and instead preferred a series of smaller meals throughout the day. She was usually the outlier in the troupe when it came to meals, as the rest of the performers had very physical acts that required a lot of energy to perform. While her readings were draining, it was much more cerebral than her counterpart's shows.

At Lucien's comment, Geralt let his trademark grin spread across his lips as he glanced over his shoulder in answer, [color=crimson]"Oh, yes, Peru is absolutely lovely. I couldn't deny any conversation with you, Lucien, I'd love to share. Although, it may take more than just one late-night conversation...I have traveled most of the US and over a dozen countries, so..."[/color] He chuckled, attempting humility, but was cut off as he heard Aurel's response.

Geralt shook his head and made a clicking sound with his tongue in disappointment upon hearing it. [color=crimson]"Schade...It is quite delicious."[/color] He finished pouring a mug for Lucien and as he turned to bring it back, he spotted another lone figure and a pair making their way across the grounds towards the mess area. 

[color=crimson]"Ah, the cavalry arrives."[/color] He said with a smile, and let his eyes linger on Ivory for a moment, bundled up in a cloak with the hood up.

[i][color=crimson]Interesting...it walks in daylight...[/color][/i]

Geralt was sure this was impossible, although, even he had to admit that he did not know absolutely everything about Vampires. As far as he knew, even one tiny drop of sunlight would turn one of her kind to dust, but Ivory was merely covered up. Of course, the only bit of skin showing was her face under the hood, the rest of her was covered up completely and her hands were tucked under her armpits as she hurried over. As he studied her, he noticed the disgruntled look on her face, and the squint in her eye, then turned back toward the coffee pot. He brought it over to the table, along with three more mugs, before pouring an additional cup full.

As Ivory approached, he took a seat and slid the mug toward her end of the table as he sat down and looked up at her with a cocked grin, [color=crimson]"Bright out this morning, hm? Here, you look like you could use some caffeine."[/color]
