Akane smiled, waving to Lucien and Cora as they took their leave. She leaned against Illy a little, and provided her with warmth. Over the years she had found out that her ability to produce fire also allowed her to radiate heat when she wanted, it was a bit more controlled, but it was certainly useful in situations like these. She was just glad to help. 

[color=rosybrown]"I wonder were Geralt is this morning? I don't think I've seen him around today."[/color] Akane commented once the other two were gone. She had been up pretty early, and even then had not seen the man.

Lucien was always glad for the mermaid's excitement when it came to this. Honestly he hadn't considered performing much himself after the others had become more established. He had laid off it for a while, and much preferred to let the others shine in the spotlight while he simply did the introducing, but he found he also rather enjoyed performing with the mermaid. He hadn't realized he actually missed playing music for people. He couldn't really go around performing in random taverns or bars like he used to.. now that he had the circus. Aside from the practice he made for fun.. this was his chance to play for others to hear.. and he was happy that he could do his part in brightening their audience's mood. 

[color=burlywood]"I love performing with you as well. I had never really had anyone accompany my music like you do, it certainly adds another level of charm. You are quite talented."[/color] He complimented. What he was most happy to see was how much the mermaid actually enjoyed it. 

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of music, and looked up at the Big Top curiously. As far as he knew, he didn't think anyone else really knew how to play, so it was certainly.. curious. He held the tent open for Cora, before he followed her inside, raising his eyebrows upon seeing Geralt at the piano. 

[color=burlywood]"No, not at all."[/color] He said, pausing for a moment. [color=burlywood]"It certainly seems like you know more than just the keys. Is that Beethoven I was hearing?"[/color] He asked. Part of him wondered how long the man had been here. Had he already had breakfast? He had certainly gotten up early if that was the case, to have had everyone miss him completely.
