Aurel had been careful in the way he removed his shirt. While he wasn't as subconscious about his scars as he used to be.. he didn't really want Geralt of all people to start asking questions about them. He had already worn appropriate attire for swimming just in case he had decided to go in, so only his shirt was removed as he had just as quickly made his way into the water and submerged. It was cold, but it was a nice sort of cold, as he was quick to swim further into the lake as he searched for Cora and Akane. 

Lucien followed Geralt's gaze to the carnies, a little surprised that he had offered to help. Not because he didn't think he would, it just.. didn't seem like him to perform such tasks. 

[color=burlywood]"If you insist, I won't stop you."[/color] He said, motioning for Geralt to go if he wanted. He was sure the carnies would appreciate the help. He figured Cora's tank would be finished soon. As Geralt walked off toward their smaller 'mess area,' Lucien approached Illy, though he was still facing slightly in the direction Geralt had gone so he could see what he was doing. 

[color=burlywood]"Cora looked so happy, hmm?"[/color] He asked, his tone light as amusement reflected in his eyes. He knew Illyana had attempted to interrupt their previous conversation, but she was never really the best at intentionally doing things like that. That was just how she was.
