Aurel turned his smile on the pair as they greeted him. [color=#a7d3d4]"Thank you, both of you."[/color] He told them, glancing down at the perfectly wrapped present. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"Is it alright if I open it now? Or should I wait?"[/color] He asked. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh please open it now! We can't wait for you to see it!"[/color] She said, clapping her hands in excitement. 

The man let out a chuckle before doing as she asked, being just as careful in opening her present as he had Illyana's. It was clear she had dedicated time to the wrapping, so he didn't want to ruin the paper. The paper revealed what appeared to be a yukata. He removed it from the wrapping, being careful as he extended it, having made sure his hands were clean before hand. It was similar in style to the one he used for his performances, but lighter in color with tints of light blue and white It had a different sort of elegance to it. It was something he could easily use in a performance if he wanted to. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I love it, thank you!"[/color] He told them. [color=#a7d3d4]"I think I might use this one for performances too, it suited for it."[/color] He added with a bigger smile.

Akane grinned. [color=rosybrown]"I'm so glad to hear that! We thought the same thing when we got it!"[/color] She exclaimed. It had been a hard choice, because they had so many pretty designs, but she thought this color suited him better because of his complexion. She was glad they had made the right choice. 

Aurel was careful to fold it over again and cover it in the wrapping paper again, to make sure that it would not get dirty, and placed it along the end of the table. He'd take it to his trailer after breakfast. Just then, Lucien approached the table and set down the last of the beignets, along with the rest of the breakfast that had been prepared. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"Ah yes! I made some of the black tea Illy gave me, so feel free to have some."[/color] Aurel said as he took his seat again as everyone did the same. 

It was then that Akane glanced around. [color=rosybrown]"Has Geralt already stopped by? I know Ivory said she'd be a little late because she was working on something."[/color] She said. 

Lucien gave a glance in the direction the Magician had gone. [color=burlywood]"He was here earlier, but I assume he headed back to his trailer. It might just be one of those days."[/color] He said. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh.. I see."[/color] Akane said. That was unfortunate.. he had been in such a good mood lately.. but she didn't want to let that get her down, it as Aurel's birthday after all. Perhaps he would feel better later in the day? 

The Ringleader used that chance to change the subject. [color=burlywood]"Well, the beignets are still quite warm, so all of you should feel free to dig in. I expect Ivory will be joining us soon."[/color] He said, knowing the dhampir wouldn't want them to wait on her. He knew she had finished her set up early so she could finish working on Aurel's gift, but she said she would be finished around breakfast time. He was sure she'd be looking to the sweets as well.
