Breakfast had been very enjoyable for everyone. Ivory had eventually joined them after finally completely finishing her work on Aurel's gift. 

[color=darkgray]"It's a bit difficult to wrap.. so I kept it in my trailer for now. Those of you who were curious though, can come with me and Aurel to see it when I show it to him."[/color] She said with a smile, knowing how curious everyone was about it. It was fun to tease them like this sometimes. She had gladly taken part in the eating of the beignets, happy that Lucien had left her some extras for her to take back to her trailer. When everyone was finished, she let Akane, Cora, Illy, and Aurel come with her to her trailer to get a look at the present she had made. Lucien had stayed behind to clean up, since he was one of the few who actually knew what she had made, mostly because she wanted the measurements to the inside of Aurel's trailer without being obvious about it. 

She went inside, setting down her beignets on her table before she picked it up and took it outside. It was a long, somewhat curved piece of wood, painted to look like a long tree branch. It even had what would have looked like separations of smaller branches near the ends. Using a normal thick branch meant having to make sure there were no insects or anything living within them, so she had decided to carve her own out of a large piece of wood instead, and took the time to paint it to make it as realistic as possible. It had certainly caused a bit of a mess in her trailer, since she had to work out of sight, but she had cleaned up already since everyone else was busy. She had made sure to work at times Aurel was least to notice what it was she was doing. 

[color=darkgray]"I carved it myself."[/color] She said proudly. [color=darkgray]"I can help you drill it into your trailer, I figure it might help make the snakes more comfortable?"[/color] She added.

Aurel's eyes almost sparkled at this. [color=#a7d3d4]"It will! Thank you Ivory!"[/color] He exclaimed. Cinnamon slitered down his shoulder and to his arm to observe. 

[b]"I like it."[/b] She stated. 

Akane gave a small clap as Ivory had walked out with Aurel's gift. Though the gift was technically not something Aurel himself could use, she knew how happy it made him when he was given things that could make his snakes more comfortable and happy since they were staying with him. 

Ivory's smile widened. [color=darkgray]"Glad to hear it! I've got my tools, so let's get this thing up so it can be ready for use. We still have a good amount of time before shows start."[/color] She said, before walking with Aurel toward his trailer. She spent some time adjusting it properly across the walls of his trailer before drilling them in and testing it's strength. 

[color=darkgray]"All good to go."[/color] She said. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"Thank you!"[/color] Aurel responded. Ginger had wasted almost no time in slithering onto this new addition to the trailer. 

[b]"It'ss nice.[/b]

Ivory could tell the snake at least seemed pleased. She was satisfied with the choice she had made. She left Aurel to his own devices after that, heading back to her trailer to clean up the paints and other materials she had used, as she had went to join the others a soon as she had finished. 

Lucien had finished cleaning up in the mess area before he had headed to his own trailer, waiting until Ivory had finished installing her gift to Aurel before he had went to go Aurel his. It was a set of oil pastels. They had been a bit hard for him to find, but he had managed it. He figured Aurel would appreciate new options to draw with. He had been quite happy with them. 

The rest of the day had been relatively peaceful. Aurel wasn't one for parties, so they had refrained from having one, but the man had still enjoyed the rest of his day.
