[cozen]

WHO: Alexandrie, Bastien, Byerly, and their captive audience
WHAT: Mandatory etiquette and dance lessons
WHEN: Justinian 15, 9:45
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: See the OOC post and IC announcement for more information! If you didn't sign up, you can still participate in Parts A and D, and just handwave the other two, without needing to sign up or get an assignment. If you want to do B and C, you can find your own dance partner/seating group OOC, or you can sign up now and we'll dole out new assignments if we get enough latecomers to do so. If you signed up and are missing from the lists when you shouldn't be, I'm sorry and please tell me!

The purpose of Petrana's elegantly cut dress is twofold: it is more than suitable to the occasion, and moreover, it is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how to make taking great care not to dip one's elaborate sleeve in one's elaborate dinner look effortless. Arranging her hands in front of her before she even sits to ensure the drape settles at her sides, and not in her lap—

It is safe to say that Mme de Cedoux appears to be in her element, for all that she takes such pains not to appear too far out of it at any given time.

“It is wonderful to see everyone making such an effort,” she says, pleasantly, which is an opportunity for everyone else to remember that pointing out it's bloody mandatory would not be at all diplomatic.

Why he had kept any of his old clothes from his old life is a mystery to Kain himself, but here he is, dressed in full Orlesian noble finery. He'd definitely considered just wearing his Warden armor, but clearly that wasn't to be. So he very much does look the part, and he also knows how to act the part, when it comes to all of this etiquette stuff. He's participating reluctantly, but he is participating, mostly to avoid having to stay here any longer than he's forced to.

"Indeed, and I suppose tomorrow we can all trade divisions again. Perhaps Secrets could be next? I've never tried my hand at being a spy." Oh, hm... wait, maybe he should not be so sarcastic. Grrr stupid protocol. Kain clears his throat, trying to be more genuine as he continues, "It's... good to reinforce these diplomatic skills, since we never know when any of us might be called upon to use them." This is true, even if he hates admitting it.
