[color=rosybrown]"I'm happy to hear that!"[/color] Akane said with a bright smile. Honestly she was always excited to put what she had practiced into play, it was nice to hear that Cora enjoyed the final result of it. She'd make sure to put more thought into her next dance, it was one of her favorite things to do, and having the mermaid around definitely gave her a lot of inspiration. Akane lifted her gaze as the other three troupe members approached, and for a moment had forgotten about the silks incident. Ivory raised a slight eyebrow at Geralt's.. 'humble' apology. Obviously, she believed none of it was genuine, but she knew what his intent was here, considering Lucien was right there, and she had time to calm in regards to her irritation to the situation. If her silks had in fact not been burned, then there was nothing for her to really be mad about. [color=darkgray]"It's fine."[/color] Her initial response was short, but it was the best they could expect. She had managed to avoid her initial response of anger, which was a success in her book, considering she was sure Geralt would have just loved to see her get all furious just to end up telling her her silks were fine. She was not about to make a fool of herself. [color=darkgray]"That's good to hear, however I don't need you to return them to me, just put them back where they belong, which I'm sure is an easy feat for you."[/color] She told him. He could [i]at least[/i] do that much. Lucien raised a slight eyebrow at this exchange. Honestly he was a bit surprised to hear Geralt give her such a.. seemingly heartfelt apology, but now it made him feel a little guilty for his earlier scolding of him, though the magician [i]could[/i] have just said that to begin with. He'd be sure to apologize to him for the misunderstanding. What surprised him more was Ivory's reaction to the whole thing. She had taken it.. rather calmly. He was honestly impressed with how well she was managing to keep her cool around the magician. Considering how well the show had gone and how good their transition had been, he was glad he had decided to partner them up. He just hope this relative.... peace between them would last.
