Lucien had smiled at Cora as she gave her own input on the song. As she had tried her shortened note, he knew immediately that was exactly what they needed toward the end of the song. He erased the final note and made it shower, and gave a satisfying smile. Their work was done, now all that was left was to actually put it into practice. [color=burlywood]"Thank you."[/color] He told Geralt, watching the magician leave. Honestly he had wanted to ask how he and Ivory's practice was going.. but he had been too busy with his own. He supposed he'd find out one way or another, probably when they had finished for the day. Based on the man's expression it didn't [i]seem[/i] like it was going back, but he knew better than to base it on that. The man had a good pokerface. He nodded approvingly at Illyana as she walked past him to wash her plate, glad she had actually managed to get through her food, before he turned his attention back to Cora. [color=burlywood]"I'm sure we'll have plenty of time tomorrow to practice this song with the actual piano accompaniment, or maybe today, it depends on when Geralt and Ivory will be finished with their work, regardless, thank you for all your input, I think this song will be very successful."[/color] He told her with a warm smile. He truly hoped it would do as he intended. -- Ivory's gaze shifted to the entrance of the Big Top as Geralt made his return, having just caught the knife in her hand. Just like that, it was gone. [color=darkgray]"It's finished."[/color] She said, before rising to her feet and heading back to the silks. That was all she needed to say for the man to play the music again. Confident that it was perfect, it was easier for her to perform it without worrying about the fact Geralt was there. It was always at this stage that she allowed people to usually see her work, unfortunately that wasn't something she could do here. She dropped, and eased into her dance just as she had practiced. Not one step out of sync, and no longer overcompensating. As she covered herself with the blue of the silks, the dhampir now stood completely out of sight, before she released them completely, and turned to look at the magician. [color=darkgray]"Well?"[/color] Was all she said.
