Illyana snorted a little at Ivory's comment, unable to hold back this sudden outburst. Of course, the dhampir wasn't wrong, but Illyana had not been expecting a retort of this caliber. [color=598527]"Hey,"[/color] she said after she had finished giggling, keeping her tone light, [color=598527]"I thought we were on the same page with that..."[/color] After a beat, she broke out into full-fledged, though quiet laughter, covering her mouth with the back of her hand as she succumbed to it.

It was rare that Illy could be caught laughing this way, and seeing it made Cora's jaw drop. Of course, she'd swallowed the bit of sandwich that was still in her mouth beforehand, but she looked over at Akane slowly and then back at Illyana. After a moment of just watching, a smile spread across the mermaid's face and slowly she began to mimic the diviner in her glee. The laughing increased in intensity and Cora joined right along with it.

[color=crimson]"Mmm."[/color] Geralt nodded at Lucien's comment, sucking a bit of lemon off of his finger, [color=crimson]"Oh, to undress the world...wouldn't that be something?"[/color] he smiled devilishly at the Nephilim for a moment, at least until the sound of laughter broke through the intensity of the moment. He glanced over his shoulder at the table, which had just erupted into a torrent of raucous laughter. He raised both eyebrows in interest, then looked back at Lucien, [color=crimson]"It appears we're missing something quite hilarious over there. Should we join them?"[/color] Normally, Geralt would want to prolong his alone time with the Ringleader as much as possible, but he found his good mood to be allowing some deviance from his standard motivation.
