To be fair, she's seen how he is when he's not in a room full of nobility. She really did bring this on herself.
Being given leave to just...flirt with and touch other ladies when he's at least kind of got a something going on with another? It's like he can feel Tex about to punch him in the back of the head from here. "So everything's made up and the points don't matter. Just be polite. Also, point of fact, totally politely excused myself from her before complaining about her obvious blindness. Except that's an insult to the blind."
Okay. Whatever. There are totally people here who aren't fancy rich people who might maybe be able to fund this whole non-profit organization. Like Christine. "So between all the networking and asskissing, you've totally got some time to dance, right? Especially with someone as terrible as your date? Look at that wonderfully pretty lady mage, teaching the savage apeman to dance like a decent person. Have some gold."
