Cora had donned something especially modest for this evenings meeting with their newest member. She hadn't been sure why, but when Illyana had helped her lay out her clothes earlier today, she had insisted on the warmer garments: a dark blue long-sleeved blouse with a high-neck and a long black skit to cover her legs. For the purposes of this, she had also made sure to dry her body a bit more than usual so as not to wet the clothes. Ivory had helped her bundle her wet hair into a high bun, which would keep her moist enough for the rest of the evening. Akane had brought a small cup full of water just in case she needed a little extra dousing.
She smiled up at her friend, "I wish I could have seen it! Did you do the kick thing that you showed me? That was my favorite part." She had experienced the pleasure of watching Akane's dance in the past, but it had been a while since she was afforded enough downtime to do so. Her "act", if one could call it that, ran pretty consecutively throughout the night and she always had at least four or five people there to see her. She never really dealt with matters of money, it really wasn't her concern, but she thought she had an okay night.
She was very excited to meet their new addition, however, the nervous energy and look on Illyana's face made her extra curious.
Illyana had had a relatively easy night, which was to be expected from the turnout. There had been no large revelations to her patrons, nor had anyone left angry. All things considered, it had been quite tame. While each reading did drain her energy slightly, it was mostly the long nights of studying and researching that had cultivated the dark circles under her eyes. Ivory had told her that they made her look older and more mysterious, which was perfect for her act, so she had done nothing to change this.
Currently, she was standing rather close to Aurel at the far end of the stage, well away from the center. She had already met Geralt, and although she wasn't exactly worried about this, it was his presence in general that made her anxious. She was standing with her hands clasped together behind her, watching the entrance for Geralt's return.
She did chime in with Ivory when Lucien mentioned scheduling, "I know this doesn't really apply to me, but after hearing everyone's experience it did seem to flow rather well." It would take more than Geralt the Great to disrupt Cirque D'étoiles' performers.
