Geralt smiled wider as he stood and grabbed a mug for Lucien. He poured, then looked over the fixings on the table and found that they still had a little bit of cream left. He'd noticed that Lucien took cream the other day, so he lifted the carafe and poured a small amount into the mug. He paused a moment and glanced over his shoulder at Lucien's comment on his appearance, and a small mischievous grin lit his features. [color=crimson]"If I could trade mistakes for sheep..."[/color] He said flippantly, with a shrug, then added, [color=crimson]"I'm sure I'll be just fine, I'm well suited to travel."[/color] He stirred the liquid until it was a dark umber color, just shy of black. He turned and offered the mug to the Ringleader as Akane and Cora approached. [color=crimson]"For you, patron."[/color] 

Cora and Akane had been organizing her clothes when Illyana had come for them. She'd wasted not time in hoisting herself into her chair and leaving with Akane, happy to see the others before setting off. Today, she had chosen a long-sleeved and high-neck dark green dress and Akane had offered her a beige jacket to wear over it, due to the chill air today. She smiled as they made their way across the grounds and the warm sun touched her cheeks. She was beginning to like being outside during the day, it was a stark contrast to the cold ocean water she had lived in all her life.

She smiled with her usual brightness as she greeted Lucien and the others, [color=00a99d]"Good morning everyone!"[/color] She noticed Geralt had his back to the group and turned to hand Lucien a mug of something steaming. She immediately noticed the bags under his eyes and the sallow look of his skin. Though he seemed clean and well-groomed, his hair was hanging over his forehead a bit and his posture seemed a bit drained. She tilted her head at this, but said nothing. Humans were strange creatures, she was more interested in observing their behavior than anything else.

[color=crimson]"To the two of you as well, damen. Would you like some coffee?"[/color]

Cora, who never usually drank coffee but was just beginning to like it, responded with a loud [color=00746b]"Yes please!"[/color] and Akane nodded as well.

Geralt smiled at both of them, but paused before turning back to the pot. [color=crimson]"Don't tell me...lots of dressing for the both of you?"[/color]

Cora nodded vigorously. She did prefer a lot of sugar and cream, though Lucien had told her that eventually she would grow out of that. She wanted to enjoy it while she had the chance. [color=00a99d]"Medium for Akane though,"[/color] she said, looking over her shoulder at her friend.

Geralt nodded his understanding, then set about making coffee. 

[i][color=crimson]A fine maid they'll make out of you yet, Geralt...[/color][/i]The gravelly voice said snidely, but The Magician ignored it. While he was happy to do this every once in a while, of course he didn't want them to get used to him waiting on them, there was no use of letting this good mood go to waste.
