The Big Top show was performed as planned, with just a tiny addition made to Geralt's show. Otherwise, it had gone off without a hitch and the troupe had collectively never seen the tent this full before. Vegas had been just the honey pot that everyone had been hoping for, and Geralt's presence made it that much more lucrative as well. Although, this time The Magician had felt no need to flaunt that fact. 

Despite his disappointment with Lucien, most of his interactions with the rest of the performers after meeting Cece had been perfectly cordial. He even showed his face around the grounds for small amounts of time, though he was a bit short and curt with the Ringleader himself. At the rest of the troupe, he smiled and waved, he cooed and complimented, but still there was a pit of angst boiling within him. Luckily, his positive attitude had managed to mask it for the time being, keep it bottled up so that it didn't lash out at anyone. He knew it would hurt later, but for now it seemed to be working just fine, so he let it ride.

He was happy to oblige when Ivory asked the favor of him, and did hand Cece the autograph with a flourish. Both she and her mother were very excited to receive to it and surprised to see that Geralt was such a big part of the show. Neither of them had asked his roll when they'd met him and Ivory, so their eyes lit up when they saw his performance.

This, coupled with the success of the evening, had him in a particularly good mood. So, when he was about to leave for his plans in town, he wasn't annoyed in the slightest when Akane called him back. He turned as she fell in step beside him and smiled down at her with his arms resting behind his back.
