Lucien understood why Geralt would be upset in regards to the situation, so he didn't blame him for it. On the contrary, he did feel bad for jumping the gun on it, and in the end much preferred having been wrong than the alternative. [color=burlywood]"If I am to be honest, I was a bit more concerned about Ivory's reaction. I thought it might.. cause some tension, but it seems I was wrong on more than one account. It seems today is not my day."[/color] He said, though he was sure the act had probably bothered the dhampir more than she was showing. He was at least glad she seemed to have taken his words to heart. He could see that she was really trying. [color=burlywood]"Thank you."[/color] He said with a smile. [color=burlywood]"I much preferred to clear the air. The last thing I want is for you to feel like you are restricted in what you can do. Artistic freedom is very important here."[/color] He told him. That wasn't something he wanted for any of them, even Geralt. It was still.. really early in the game, and he had only just joined them. He didn't want him to feel like he couldn't do his show as he wanted. The Ringleader showed hesitation at the invitation he was given. The man was being much less forward than he had seen from him so far. Normally, considering the circumstances and the fact it was their last night, he wouldn't have minded saying yes but.. he couldn't really get out of the town visit he already had planned. [color=burlywood]"I'm afraid I've made other plans for tonight I can't get out of, so I must unfortunately decline, but I'll gladly take a rain check."[/color] He said with a small bow.
