Sigh. Kain really doesn't want to be here, but he'd been given the "you're a soldier so do your duty" talk, so he couldn't really refuse. He grew up with this culture, these people, which means he has to play the part, like it or not. And he doesn't like it. At all.
He's traded his favored Grey Warden armor for some of his Orlesian finery, all shades of blue, with dark blue gloves to cover his shard, alongside one of his fancier dragon-shaped masks. He'll mingle as much as he absolutely has to, and even dance if asked. But he does spend a great deal of the time standing and sipping wine, as he keeps an eye on what's going on, who's here and so on. There's a lot of tension in the room, that much is certain.
Outer Gardens
Finally, he finds a chance to escape. Loosening his cravat some, Kain heads outside, taking in a much-needed breath of fresh air. He would much rather be doing guard duty than attending the actual ball. He takes a look around then gets to walking, deciding that a little stroll is in order. He sincerely doubts he'll be needed back in there anyway... there are others who are far better and more interested in the diplomacy sort of situations.
