Aurel moved aside a little to give Geralt more room as he began to play against Ivory, paying very close attention to him, before shifting his gaze to the dhampir. He did actually catch the change in her expression, which was a little odd, considering she almost never gave anything away. 

Ivory attempted to keep a neutral expression after that, determined not to give anything else away to him. She was annoyed by his words, but it wasn't like he was wrong. The key [i]was[/i] to keep an eye on your opponent, he was just being creepy about it. She drew the next card and set it down, the Ace of Diamonds. She kept a completely blank expression this time, with just a hint of her previous annoyance, but that wasn't in relation to any of the cards. Of course she wasn't surprised to see Geralt's expression betraying nothing, she knew better than to trust whatever tell he might give her, the man was clearly an expert when it came to hiding his true feelings, so she didn't expect to get any sort of read on him. She didn't speak, since the man was [i]clearly[/i] knowledgeable on the subject, she decided to just let him explain. 


Lucien nodded, giving the others one last glance before taking his leave with Illyana. While he was a little concerned of what might happen with him gone, he did have faith in Aurel to keep things calm. Despite his shyness, he was actually pretty good at it. When they were far enough away to not risk getting overheard, he spoke up as they made their way to his trailer.  

[color=burlywood]"So.. what did you need to speak to me about?"[/color] He asked.
