Ivory wasn't mad, no, she was incredibly annoyed by what Geralt had done. She wasn't sure if this was some sort of intentional jab at her, no actually, she was [i]quite[/i] sure that it probably was. Almost on instinct alone she wanted to storm over there and ask him what the hell his problem was, but she didn't. Oh no, she stayed right where she was. She exhaled, and maintained her cool. Play the player, she had reminded herself. It was just silks, she had plenty others, as they were normally replaced when she wanted to change the colors or she felt like they were getting old. It wasn't a big deal, it was just.. the principle of it. Still, the dhampir would not let this get to her, because she knew that was exactly what Geralt would probably want. No, she would pretend to not care at all, like it didn't bother her. He was simply getting rid of the silks so they wouldn't be in the way, just as Aurel removed his snakes or Akane removed her tools. That's at least what she told herself, to keep her expression neutral. Instead of heading toward Lucien, who she figured Geralt was currently with, she went toward Aurel and Illyana instead. [color=darkgray]"What did you guys think of the show?"[/color] She asked them. Aurel glanced over at Ivory as she approached, honestly a little surprised that she didn't seem angry. [color=#a7d3d4]"It was good.. in all honesty, I could tell that the magic was real.."[/color] He said, giving the stage another glance. [color=#a7d3d4]"You.. disappeared off the stage, how did that happen?"[/color] He was honestly curious, and he figured Geralt might not tell him.. but maybe he could get a response from the dhampir. [color=darkgray]"It was teleportation."[/color] She told him, not particularly concerned to keep it a secret, at least not with troupe members. [color=darkgray]"He teleported in and then teleported me out so he could take my place."[/color] She explained, causing Aurel to raise his eyebrows. [color=#a7d3d4]"That's quite the skill set.."[/color] He said. [color=#a7d3d4]"You don't seem that upset about the silks."[/color] He was mostly just curious about it. [color=darkgray]"It's not that big of a deal I suppose. There are replacements."[/color] She said in an almost casual tone. Even she had to admit she was a bit impressed with her own self-restraint. - Lucien's expression did not ease completely, but he was at least glad to know he had a back up plan for what he had done. [color=burlywood]"That's good to hear. I'm sure Ivory will be glad to know her silks will be replaced, but please do refrain from damaging anything on stage in the future, at least without running it by me first."[/color] He told him, pausing for a moment. [color=burlywood]"Putting that side, the audience clearly enjoyed today's performance. I will most certainly say tonight was a success. I look forward to what the future will bring."[/color] He said, knowing that he couldn't only scold the man. He could not deny how good his show actually was. This would definitely be something the audience would end up talking about to their friends and family. This was how news began to spread, and it was what they wanted. - Akane, like the others, had been impressed by Geralt's act, especially the fire related skills he seemed to show. While she was sure Ivory would not appreciate the burning of her silks, she was curious as to what kind of fire abilities this man held to be able to do such a thing. Was it similar to her's, or more limited? She couldn't wait to find out. The magician had certainly been modest, he was clearly skilled, and honestly Akane was glad she had gotten to see it. When the show was over, she waited for all of the audience members to be completely out of the tent, and that there was no one in sight before she shifted back to her own form, and quickly made her way to the side of her stage. She could smell Lucien and Cora there. Seeing Geralt, her smile widened. [color=rosybrown]"That was amazing!"[/color] She said, giving a few claps as she approached.
