Lucien shook his head. [color=burlywood]"You have nothing to apologize for, Illy. Lift your gaze. I know you have my best interest at heart."[/color] He told her with a small smile, before reaching out and placing a hand on top of her head. 

[color=burlywood]"I'm sure it will be. Try to enjoy yourself as well. We [i]all[/i] need a break, including you."[/color] He told her, before placing his hand back on the wheel. 

Finally they neared the lake, and Lucien signaled for the train of trucks to stop. They always had to make sure to stop a decent distance from the lake, because when they emptied out the water for Cora's tank, Lucien didn't want the water flowing into it, and instead put it out into the forest where the trees could make use of it. He left the trailer, and Alex was already running over to take his place. He got out of the car, and gave Alex a smile as he replaced him at the wheel.  

With that, Lucien turned around and sprouted his wings and flew up into the air as he made his way over to Cora's trailer. The skylight had already been opened, and Lucien gracefully landed at the edge of the opening, wings fluttering behind him. It really did feel good to have them out again. It seemed that Akane and Cora had taken this time to try to clean as much as the tank as they could for the emptying of this. Akane had already handed Cora a robe to wear. Lucien smiled down at them, and extended a hand toward Cora as he bowed slightly in her direction.

[color=burlywood]"Shall I take you for a flight, my lady?"[/color] He said with a small wink.
