Akane retained her smile as Geralt greeted them, chuckling slightly at his comment, but was pleased by it regardless. [color=rosybrown]"Thank you!"[/color] She responded, before her expression took on a hint of pride as the clothing choices were complimented. [color=rosybrown]"A beautiful dress for a beautiful woman!"[/color] She said, turning to Cora and giving her a wider smile, before her ears then perked up. [color=rosybrown]"Oh! Breakfast. I'll get you your food too."[/color] Akane said before she quickly got up from her chair and headed over to the counter, her tails swishing from side to side slightly under her dress. Ivory glanced at Geralt for merely a moment as he spoke, before turning back to the two women. She knew very well what he meant by his comment. [color=darkgray]"They do, don't they? They have the ability to brighten the..."[/color] She paused for a moment, briefly glancing in Lucien's direction. [color=darkgray]"..Most unpleasant mornings."[/color] She said, changing what she was going to say at the last moment. Her comment brought a genuine smile to her face, mostly in satisfaction. Their arrival had at least eased the foul presence that was Geralt's, and allowed for more distraction, there was no doubt in that. Lucien glanced at Geralt when Akane and Cora arrived. Clearly the man noticed the ears that rested on top of Akane's head, but he made absolutely no comment in regards to it, which was curious. Did he already know what she was? Or did he simply not care to ask about it at the moment? He supposed he'd find out soon enough. The Ringleader held back an amused expression at Ivory's retort, though he appreciated that she had most likely held back from saying something that was even more rude. It seemed she was at least attempting to show some restraint despite the fact Geralt was intentionally poking at her. He didn't see the need to say anything if Geralt was fully aware of he was doing. It seemed to be a backhanded compliment to the other two at the table, or perhaps just an attempt to annoy Ivory, but it seemed that it had failed. To think it was only day one, these two would definitely have a long road ahead of them.
