Geralt nodded with a cocked smile, [color=crimson]"Oh, I know that better than most."[/color] He took another look at Ivory as she glanced in their direction. It was curious, how well she seemed to hide her...attributes. 

He looked back at the trailer as Lucien explained, placing his forefinger and thumb against his chin as he did so. It had to be quite an engineering feat to have come up with a waterproof vessel that large to house something living. Not knowing if he would have another opportunity, he turned his half-smile into a full one and turned back to the Ringleader.

[color=crimson]"I'd be happy to help, truly, it's the least I can do."[/color] He watched as Lucien folded his wings in to remove his vest and began rolling up his sleeves. After a beat, he added, [color=crimson]"I have so many questions..."[/color] with a chuckle at the end. This was absolutely true. Though he now knew that Lucien was descended from something truly holy, and was likely a Nephilim as his dark passenger had suspected, he still knew so little about the man himself and how all of his attributes worked. Curiosity was burning in him, like a child staring at a Christmas present, but he kept telling himself to slow down and wait. Now was not the time or place, though a day of relaxation and, hopefully, imbibing alcoholic beverages, would help to loosen everyone's tongues.

Cora was so happy to see Aurel in the water that she couldn't help but play with him as well. She swam circles around both of her friends, twirled, grabbed their hands and swung them about. It was all so freeing...and the happiest she had been in quite a while. She raced laps around the edge of the lake, shortening her time with each one, and launched herself from the water several times.

Before she knew it, Aurel and Akane were both leaving. It took her a moment to remember why, and then she surfaced and saw that the men had backed her trailer up to the water's edge. It was filling time! It was unfortunate that she couldn't help...but she really was better off staying out of the way. 

She made her way to the shore anyway, popping her head up out of the shallows as the water lapped against her back. She lay in the mud, belly down, and propped herself up on her arms, making sure that everyone saw she was present so she could thank them for their hard work in making her comfortable. Ivory and the others had done her a great service by building her something so nice...she had to be sure to show her gratitude for everything they had given her.

Illyana had finished scribbling in her notes and stuffed the book back into her pocket just as she saw the carnies exiting the trailer with buckets. She had been so absorbed in what she was doing, that she hadn't noticed them pull up. She strode toward them, rolling up her sleeves. She wasn't physically strong by any means, and tired easily due to her lack of exercise in general, but she always tried her best to help out. It was a large tank, and filling it took quite a long time, so she hoped her small contribution was enough to lighten the load at least somewhat.
