Illyana nodded at Lucien's comment as she served herself. [color=598527]"I'll see that he does."[/color] She'd had this on her mind already, but knew that Aurel would likely be sleeping in. His trailer was usually the warmest place for him due to the makeshift "sun-roof" that let in tons of natural light. 

She chuckled lightly as she heard Akane's statement, then made her way to the table and sat next to the Kitsune with a half-full plate of breakfast. [color=598527]"Thank you,"[/color] she said, smiling, then waved to Cora and Lucien as they made their way off.

Cora immediately started pushing herself toward the big top after saying her farewells to Illy and Akane. She beamed over to Lucien at his observation, [color=00a99d]"I am!"[/color] she agreed, [color=00a99d]"I'm just excited. I love performing with you, and the song is lovely."[/color] It had been only about three months since she had begun engaging in this facet of performances with Lucien. Once she had come out of her shell a bit more, and gotten comfortable in front of crowds, she found singing for others to be exhilarating. Now, she found herself looking forward to it much more than her "regular show", and was always more than happy to practice with Lucien as well.

As the two drew closer to the tent, Cora tilted her head as music drifted toward her. Someone was already playing the piano...it was a soft tune, and somehow sounded familiar to her, although she couldn't place it. She looked at Lucien quizzically, then began moving a little faster towards the Big Top as curiosity struck her.

She reached the entrance and waited for the Ringleader to hold it open, as she entered, the music came to a stop. 

There, in the center of the room, sitting at the piano, was Geralt. He had turned toward the pair as they'd entered, and his face cracked into that familiar wicked smile.

[color=crimson]"Ah, there you are."[/color] he said, then stood and lingered next to the instrument. [color=crimson]"I hope you don't mind, I was breaking her in."[/color] he said, as he laid a hand on the lid.
