It was clear from the way that Geralt spoke of the instrument that it held some sort of meaning for him. Lucien did not have to inquire on it, there was just something about the look in his eyes that told him he cared for it. It reminded him a little of when he was looking out into the water to see Cora swim. There was a.. genuineness to him. Considering Geralt seemed to be the type of man who was always on guard, seeing these other sides of him was certainly a nice change. Despite that, he decided not to ask for who he had planned to give this to. If Geralt had wanted him to know, he probably would have told him. This was something he had learned long ago. 

[color=burlywood]"I wholeheartedly agree."[/color] He said with a gentle smile. He of all people appreciated things like this. 

It was the sound of Cora's voice that had snapped him out of his train of thought, causing him to shift his gaze onto Akane. 

The kitsune's cheeks had become a little red as she noticed some eyes turn to her. She hadn't expected it, but she could not deny that she had been enjoying the music. If Cora wanted to see it, she'd most certainly comply. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh, well if you insist."[/color] She told her a little sheepishly. By then the kitsune had gotten through the food she had been given, and went ahead and finished the last of her drink. She didn't want to let it go to waste. 

Akane then picked up her fans from the table, having brought them out earlier when the heat had been getting to some people during the tank filling, before making her way to the center of the area they had left clear for dancing. She spread the fans open, and gave a small bow, before she began her dance. This song was particular, since it slowed and sped up at specific points, so Akane was paying close attention so she could match it with her steps. Once she had gotten the hang of the rhythm, she quickened her pace and began to dance more fluidly, flashing a smile in Cora's direction as she did an elegant twirl. 

Ivory smiled a little as Akane began to dance, having turned to face in her direction. 

[color=darkgray]"Akane can really dance to any sort of music."[/color] She commented. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"She adapts well, though we could say the same for you."[/color] Aurel said in response, causing the dhampir to shake her head. 

[color=darkgray]"No.. we're a bit different in our approach. I respect her because of that."[/color] She said. Unlike her, the kitsune did not mind a bit of trial and error, she was okay with showing an imperfect dance and then experimenting along the way, and enjoyed every bit of the experience. Akane also didn't mind the spotlight, and while both of them were performers, outside of their acts Ivory much preferred to stay out of it. [color=darkgray]"But well, it's that individuality that makes our troupe so interesting."[/color] She added with a small chuckle.
