[color=00a99d]"Hhmmm..."[/color] Cora tilted her head at Akane's explanation, trying to imagine what she meant. It was hard for her, considering she had seen many fish and other underwater creatures very closely. Sharks, for instance, actually had rows and rows of teeth, unlike humanoid beings like herself and land-walkers. She had shared this information, along with other insights, with anyone who was willing to listen. Thoughts like this often made her think of home, and a little tight ball in the pit of her stomach began to turn as she thought of all of the different colors and shapes that she had grown with all around her.

They had been replaced by the shapes and colors of her new home. She had to remember to appreciate those as well. [color=00a99d]"Well,"[/color] she added, [color=00a99d]"I hope I can see what you mean sometime."[/color]

As the pair drew closer, she noticed that Geralt had joined the troupe this morning and her smile brightened as if on its own. After their meeting, she had been both nervous and excited to see him again. His whole demeanor intrigued her, it was nothing like she had ever seen before.

She tried to avert her gaze from him and share it with the rest of the table, but in truth it was hard for her to take her eyes off of him when he was looking at her. She felt her cheeks grow hot as she dropped her gaze to the ground, pushing her chair into the place Akane had made for her. [color=00a99d]"Morning!"[/color] she greeted the table with her usual brightness, though she was trying to keep her eyes off of Geralt.

Geralt turned his eyes to the pair as Cora and Akane approached the table, making sure to meet their eyes and letting his gaze linger on Cora for just a moment longer. The slender pale beauty couldn't help but blush at his attention, and this pleased him greatly. He had already won one of the troupe over, it seemed.

Once he had given the Siren her deserved amount of attention, he looked more closely at Akane. Of course, his expression remained completely unchanged as he noticed the presence of furred animal ears atop her head. He thought at first that they may be fake, but as he watched them move as a dog or cat's would, he realized they were very real and attached indeed. Geralt had never encountered anything like this, but now that he had information about her origins, abilities, and...extraneous appendages, he had much more to work with.

[color=crimson]"Good morning, ladies."[/color] He said as the two found their place at the table. [color=crimson]"The two of you certainly know how to brighten a man's morning, you are absolutely stunning in those dresses."[/color]

Cora leaned over to look at Geralt as he greeted them and smiled wide at his compliment. [color=00a99d]"Thank you, Geralt."[/color] She said, her eyes full of light and laughter, [color=00a99d]"Akane picked this one out, she really has the best taste."[/color] 

Illyana nodded to Akane and Cora as they took their places at the table, though she did not speak as her mouth was full at the moment. She noted with displeasure Geralt's interest in the Mermaid, her eyes narrowing slightly as she watched their silent flirtation. She noticed that Akane had dressed Cora in a shorter summery dress, and while she did look both lovely and comfortable in it, Illyana would have preferred something less revealing. She swallowed as Geralt greeted them and made his comment, glancing down at herself and Ivory. It wasn't exactly that he was wrong about Cora and Akane's particular brand of sunshine, but she couldn't help but feel that his comment was directed at the entire table and not just the two women.
