Geralt lingered while Lucien remained near the mess area, making sure his assistance wasn't required before moving off to his trailer. He'd have to make sure everything was secure as well if he would be in the separated truck/cockpit of the vehicle.

Lucien's directions were easy enough for everyone to follow, and once all were ready, they moved along. The train of vehicles left a huge cloud of dust in their wake, but not much else. Just like that, Cirque D'étoiles had vanished.

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

Illyana busied herself by reading beside Lucien as they drove. At first, the tension in the car was distracting to her, but she ignored it for long enough that it faded from her mind. She knew that the Ringleader was aware of her activities and that her apparent concern over Geralt's presence seemed unnecessary, but she wasn't willing to speak with him about it until she had something solid to present. It was clear to her that he was not seeing him in the same way, and would need more than words and suspicions to convince him. She knew this was Lucien's way, he never wanted to think badly about anyone until they had proven their malicious intent to him firsthand. The situation with Ivory's mother was enough to show her that this aspect of his personality ran very deep. Either way, Illyana was sure that eventually Geralt would show his true colors. She just had to make sure someone was there to see it.

She almost didn't notice when they arrived, she had been so absorbed in her book. She was halfway through a tome about the occult when the truck came to a halt. She watched Lucien give direction to the carnies. She continued to read while they did so, but snapped out of it again when she heard Lucien's words outside.

When he climbed back in to the truck, she closed her book in her lap and looked over as the truck roared to life once more. She knew what Lucien was planning to do, as he had done it a couple times in the past when they'd decided to take Cora to rivers and lakes. This time would be more risky, with their new member to watch all of the Ringleader's movements, and Illyana thought it prudent to remind him of this.
