Akane was brimming with confidence by the time she had reached the pair. Elegantly, the kitsune grabbed hold of the side of her dress and raised it in a partial curtsy, before she moved her other hand toward Cora. [color=rosybrown]"May I have this dance?"[/color] She asked, mimicking Geralt's words, her eyes brimming with excitement. Meanwhile Lucien had made his way over to Ivory, and extended his hand toward her, giving her a smile. Ivory on the other hand raised an eyebrow, not particularly inclined to stand. [color=darkgray]"Why don't you ask Illy? I'm sure she'd enjoy it."[/color] The dhampir said, giving the fortune teller a sideways glance. Lucien chuckled, having expected that sort of response. [color=burlywood]"I'm afraid that simply will not do. I promised Akane that we'd be nearby in case she almost drops Cora, she's quite concerned for her safety you know? It would be reassuring to have us both around."[/color] He insisted, his smile becoming more innocent in nature. [color=burlywood]"Plus, I'm sure Aurel can be the one to ask Illy to dance."[/color] He added. Ivory's eyebrow twitched, and she squinted at the Ringleader for a moment before she finally heaved a heavy sigh, and extended her hand to take his. [color=darkgray]"Fine, but you owe me a desert."[/color] She told him, causing him to let out a laugh. Aurel on the other hand had raised an eyebrow at Lucien, but then he let out a chuckle. It seemed that Lucien was enjoying himself. With that in mind, he turned his attention to Illy and raised his hand toward her. [color=#a7d3d4]"Do you want to?"[/color] He asked.
