The duke has kept to himself before the ball, mainly, though he's responsive when engaged—businesslike with Silver, a bit fonder with Alexandrie, neutral with the others—but putting him into a party gives the impression of releasing a predator into its natural element.

He's always believed in making multiple virtues of necessity. While his primary purpose here was to get them in the door, it can't hurt to get a pulse on Ostwick's nobility from up close. It feels a bit like cheating, with nearly no one else masked; he needn't even get particularly close, a lot of the time.

In addition, it can't hurt to expand his ties to the Inquisition as well, so he doesn't keep to himself all evening. "Well, we've certainly gotten attention," is his quiet opening gambit as he comes to one of his companions' side.
