Lucien's smile widened at her response. [color=burlywood]"Wonderful."[/color] He responded, before shifting his gaze toward Illy as she approached. He was glad to see that she looked well-rested today. For a moment he raised an eyebrow as he saw her reach for the clipboard, but his expression eased when she reached for a plate of food instead. He was glad he wasn't going to have to fight her on that this morning. His eyes trailed over to the shawl she wore. A familiar green that perfectly matched her eyes. He remembered it well. Faolan had given it to her during one of their holiday celebrations.. about a year before.. He shook his head, trying to shake off the nostalgia. He didn't want it to get in the way of his practice today. The ringleader was aware of how his emotions could sometimes affect his music. [color=burlywood]"It is isn't it? I hope Aurel dresses warmly."[/color] He said. It was probably why the man had slept in today. He had always been pretty sensitive to the cold. [color=rosybrown]"If you need to stay warm, come sit next to me! I can help with that."[/color] Akane said brightly, giving Illy a smile. At this, Lucien let out a small chuckle, before glancing at Cora, seeing that she had finished. [color=burlywood]"Shall we go begin our practice?"[/color] He asked before rising to his feet. The mermaid eagerly agreed, and said her goodbyes to the other two before she excitedly began heading toward the tent. Lucien looked on amusingly before he quickly caught up with her. [color=burlywood]"In a bit of a hurry I see."[/color] He commented as they made their way through the grounds.
