Ivory had stayed under the shade through all these interactions, though most of her attention had been on Geralt and Lucien, when she wasn't looking out into the water toward Akane and Cora. She was glad the two women were enjoying themselves. Knowing that Cora didn't get to do this often, she wanted the mermaid to make the most of it. She knew she wasn't being very sociable at the moment, but she hadn't wanted to interrupt Illyana and Aurel's conversation, and decided to simply stay here until it was time to get to work on Cora's tank. After that she would be more inclined to partake in the... 'festivities,' to an extent anyway. She also wanted to take advantage of being out in a forest to look for some things she could use for her crafts, especially because this appeared to be a lake filled with rocks. 

Her attention shifted toward Geralt as he approached the mess area. She raised an eyebrow as she watched the man put everything together. She was sure his intent to help wasn't genuine. Was he showing off then? That was probably more likely. Taking into account what she had seen in his show, she figured that what he did required around the same amount of concentration it took her to create and control a large variety of knives, which required much more focus. Interesting. 

Lucien was certainly impressed with how easily Geralt had put things together. He figured his skill was extensive but.. he didn't think it was this.. precise. How taxing was it? He didn't really know. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Illy begin to scribble things down in her notebook. 

[color=burlywood]"Thorough as always."[/color] He commented, his previous amusement still present. This was very like her. 

The carnies thanked Gerlalt, clearly amazed by the skill he had just displayed. For some it was the first time seeing it in play. Lucien approached the magician when he had finished, not having wanted to break his concentration. 

[color=burlywood]"I must certainly say that's very impressive. I assume this made setting up your trailer much easier."[/color] He said amusingly. 

It was around then that he heard the sound of an engine, and Cora's trailer could be seen approaching. Enough room had been left for them to be able to pull it up near the edge of the lake, as close as they could pull in without there being any danger of sinking. 

[color=burlywood]"Ah, here we go."[/color] Lucien said as the remaining carnies got out of the truck, two of them holding a large amount of buckets. [color=burlywood]"I'm afraid we have a more effective way to remove the water than replacing it, Ivory's currently working on coming up with an alternative."[/color] He explained. After all it was Ivory who had come up with the idea of the drainage system they currently held. She was quite crafty when it came to these things.
