Cora, her mouth full of food, let Akane wipe her cheek and then smiled, cheeks puffed out. She covered her mouth as she thanked her friend, at least she had remembered to do that. After swallowing, she added, [color=00a99d]"I'm sorry, I know I should slow down."[/color] Her cheeks turned slightly pink as she glanced at Geralt.

Geralt, feeling Cora's eyes on him for just a moment, looked at Cora and said, [color=crimson]"There is nothing more enticing than a woman with a healthy appetite."[/color] He winked at her, and delighted in her giggle, before turning his attention back to Aurel.

He placed a hand on the young man's shoulder briefly, [color=crimson]"Ach, unsinn! Alle fähigkeiten können trainiert werden. Why don't I help you, while I'm here? Who knows, maybe I'll learn something from the two of you."[/color] He glanced at Ivory, his expression darknening only slightly as he looked at her, [color=crimson]"What's the game?"[/color] Whether she liked it or not, she had his company, at least until he lost interest in their game.

As Illyana finished washing the dishes, she noticed Lucien had taken over keeping inventory. Although this annoyed her, as it was her responsibility, this was her opportunity to speak with him while the others were distracted. She shimmied over to where he was and leaned in speaking, quietly but not whispering so as not to draw attention. [color=598527]"At least we can count on Ivory to keep him at a distance...Will you be around, later? There are a couple of things I wanted to discuss with you."[/color] There were still details about Geralt that she wanted to share from the night of their meeting. Although this was no urgent business, she wanted to keep Lucien appraised of all of the information she had on the Magician.
