Geralt spent the evening in the company he had been craving, it wasn't hard for a man like him to find the attention he was looking for. Once he had stepped out of the circus grounds, he'd displaced himself right onto the main thoroughfare in Graston, walking along it until he found the most posh bar in town that he had not yet visited. It was not easy, given his track record, but it happened eventually. He noted its location, then displaced himself back to the main road, the one which he knew Lucien would be coming from. He found a dark place, secluded, but with a good view of the street, and posted there waiting for the Ringleader to arrive. Once he saw the truck approaching, he had his "friend" conceal his presence, then followed the truck by teleporting behind it just before he lost sight. The Magician tracked Lucien to a residence in Graston, but there was nothing suspicious about it at all. A elderly man answered the door, and just beyond Geralt could hear the voice of a woman, presumably his wife. 

With this out of the way, Geralt decided he could truly enjoy his evening. He displaced himself for the penultimate time, to the doorway of the bar he had chosen earlier, and spent the rest of the evening there.

Cora, Illyana and the others went about their duties before going to sleep. They had to make sure that everything was in order for the next day as they began to pack up, but go to bed with enough time to feel rested and ready to tackle the next day. Moving wasn't hard, by any means, now that the carnies and troupe alike had found a system that made breakdown and setup as quick and easy as it needed to be, but it was still physically demanding. If they wanted to be on the road on time, they needed to be sure that all of their ducks were in a row before they even thought about moving along.

With everything seen too, the troupe drifted off to their individual chambers and dozed for the rest of the evening.

----------------------------------------------

Illyana was the first to awake. She rose with the sun on breakdown days and was up even before Lucien. She knew he liked to have one last night out to himself before taking his leave of town, and he deserved it after the last few days of hard work. She was happy to pick up the slack if it meant he was getting a little extra rest. By now, she really only had to oversee everything. Everyone knew their places and the timing of everything, so really she was just there to move from place to place to be sure that no one needed help and that no unforeseen issues arose. She was usually an expert about keeping the latter on track, for the most part.

Cora usually stayed in on moving days. It was difficult for her, knowing that all of the buzz was going on outside while she slept the day away, but she knew it was for the best. No one needed her around to be in the way, and all of the activity sometimes made her head spin anyway. Akane and Illyana would come check to make sure she was alright and give her updates on the timing, and Akane usually rode with her when they were travelling. She was content to wait until they got to the lake, it would be worth it.
