Lucien glanced at Geralt, retaining his smile. [color=burlywood]"No, she's quite alright."[/color] He responded, golden eyes then following Akane before she disappeared from sight, having dove down into the water. He hoped the two women would have fun. It was possible the magician had caught the literal meaning behind Cora's name, but he didn't say anything more to give it away, he'd see it for himself soon enough. Akane finally spotted a larger movement in the water, and smiled as she saw her friend swim toward her, twirling a bit as she tried to keep Cora in her sight. The mermaid's appearance underwater was completely different than in her human form. It was certainly something unlike anything Akane had ever seen before, but being from Japan, she knew there were so many different creatures out there. Instead of being put off by her appearance, Akane had found it very unique, and cool looking. The kitsune pointed up toward the surface of the water before she began to swim up toward it to get a breath of air. She was excited that she would be able to play with Cora in the water like this. Aurel stopped his approach after he reached Illyana, snake like eyes looking out into the water. It was in these situations that the man was hit with a nostalgia on his own.. of the old days when he, Lucien, Faolan and Illy would come out to the lake like this to swim. Well, Illy would usually only dip her feet in, but it was still fun. Now he had Cora and Akane to enjoy that with.. but Lucien didn't do it nearly as much as he used to. There was a part of him that always wanted to ask him, but he never brought himself to, not wanting to risk to bring back any sad memories for him, not when his mood was so bright.
