Lucien nodded to Illyana, before turning back to Geralt. He raised an eyebrow slightly, but said nothing as Geralt put away his flask. He wasn't about to condemn the man for drinking, as long as he wasn't doing it on the road. 

[color=burlywood]"Of course, I will gather everyone before we go to show them the direction. Normally following each other is no issue, but one never knows."[/color] He said, quickly finishing the last of his coffee before he walked over and took the two remaining croissants. He needed at least some form of nourishment for the morning after his long night. 

With that settled, everyone remaining dispersed to get out of the carnies' way as they began to take apart the mess area. Lucien bid his adieu and went back to his trailer to secure some last minute things, before heading back out and doing some final overseeing before everything had eventually been put properly away. He gathered the drivers to give them instruction to their next location, before everyone scattered once more to head to their respective trucks. The Ringleader wasn't nearly as busy as last time, so he actually had time to drive his own trailer. He waited for Illy to join him before he gave the signal, and they finally hit the road. 

The travel was not incredibly long, but for Lucien it was silent. Illyana was buried in her book throughout the entire drive, and while Lucien might have been willing to make small talk with her, he knew exactly what it was she was doing, and he figured she wouldn't want to talk about it further. It was.. unfortunate really. He felt the atmosphere between them used to be much more relaxed. He really hoped that Illyana would end up letting this go, or at least easing up a little about it. 

The lake was only about fifty minutes out from town. They were lucky this had been a fairly isolated area, as it was much easier to do what they had to do without worry of regular people spotting them. Regardless, Lucien was never too careful. They stopped about five minutes from their destination, as some of the other carnies motioned the line of cars to stop. Lucien called Alex and James forward, who were in charge of their smaller truck. 

[color=burlywood]"Could you two drive ahead and scout the area?"[/color] He asked them. They were quick to nod. 

[b]"Aye boss, we'll be back in a jiffy."[/b] Alex said before they drove off ahead. This was normal for them. He always wanted to make sure the coast was clear before they went, considering Cora always loved to make the most of her time at the lake or rivers they would stop at. Upon their return, he was reassured that there was no one around. 

[color=burlywood]"Alright. Alex, when we get a good distance from the lake, come take over for me will you?"[/color] He asked, smiling slightly in the direction of Cora's trailer before getting back into his trailer to continue on their way. At this Alex nodded, before running off back to the truck he was in charge of.
