Lucien's smile widened slightly as he gave the mermaid a small bow. [color=burlywood]"You flatter me, Cora, your voice would be just as amazing with or without my accompaniment. I am honored to have you play at my side."[/color] He said, before taking a glance over at Geralt. He had just managed to catch the end of him recomposing himself. It seemed even the mysterious magician was not immune to the effects of Cora's voice. That was interesting. 

[color=burlywood]"Thank you for your kind words, Geralt. I hope you don't mind if we try it one more time. It's perfect the way it is, but it doesn't hurt to try again."[/color] He said. The man sat back down at this, and he turned his attention back to Cora. 

[color=burlywood]"Once more, from the top?"[/color] He asked, and began the song again once Cora had given him the go. This time he was more composed. He allowed himself to immerse himself into the music, but he tried to keep the thoughts behind them under control. Lucien was very good at resisting the effects of mind altering abilities like Cora's, but considering the feeling behind Cora's singing was anything but negative, it didn't hurt to allow a bit of it to get through, for the sake of providing them with a much better synergy for the song. When they were finished with it, Lucien smiled in satisfaction. It was certainly ready.

Blue eyes fluttered open, staring up into an unfamiliar ceiling. Ivory sat right up, and took a glance around the now empty trailer. She could see the sun shining brightly behind the curtains of the partially opened window. What time was it? How long had she overslept? There was a small soreness in her neck from the position she slept in, but she knew it would soon fade. The dhampir stretched and set aside the book she had fallen asleep reading before rising to her feet, taking note of the blanket that had been placed upon her shoulders. She smiled slightly and removed it, before folding it and placing it on Illy's bed.

To think Illyana managed to leave without her noticing, she must have really been completely out to not have been awakened by her movements. She walked past the table and saw the note Illyana had left her, expressing her gratitude for her assistance. Her smile widened a little upon seeing the little smiley face she had drawn, and her eyes ventured to the cookies she had left on the table for her. 

[color=darkgray]"Don't mind if I do~"[/color] She said, before she began to eat them. She could always count on Illyana to have snacks like these lying around. Mood brightened by sweets, Ivory grabbed the black scarf Illy had left hanging on the chair, before wrapping it loosely around her head, a small attempt to block out the sun, but it would suffice for now. Not like she expected to spend a lot of time outside anyway. With that, she quickly headed out, and made her way across the grounds to the breakfast area, finding only Akane and Illy there. 

[color=darkgray]"Good morning."[/color] She greeted them. It seemed a fair amount of food had already been eaten, meaning that the others had probably already taken their leave. Great for her, considering it meant Geralt wasn't here. A fine morning it was. 

[color=rosybrown]"Good morning, Ivory! Where did you come from?"[/color] Akane questioned curiously as the dhampir made her way to the food, deciding she might as well have some food. It was the day of the big show anyway. 

[color=darkgray]"Hmm? Spent the night at Illy's."[/color] She responded, causing Akane to smile. 

[color=rosybrown]"Ooh, you guys have sleepovers too? You should join me and Cora sometime! I'm sure it'll be fun."[/color] The kitsune said brightly.
