Montmorency, of course, that had been her name before she was married. As she is clearly in this dream. So young. Now what had her brothers names been? Laurent was sure that he had 'met' them in a dream or two previously or at least Odette had mentioned them. Though when Odette gave the names he nodded and smiled like they were as familiar to him as his own. "Of course Paul-Henri is," he chuckled with a slight shake of his head. And Odette had been nobility, higher than his own family, so of course her brothers would have been in higher positions by pure virtue of who they were. Laurent understood that after a fashion but he also thought it could be a little dangerous, nobles did not always make the best leaders. Laurent had earned his position and his pride in that had not wavered even the slightest no matter that it had been centuries since he had been in the military.
"Your company would brighten my evening considerably" Laurent said with his typical easy smile. As he was about to respond he noticed her eyes move and he turned to see what she was looking at. Ah, he recognized that face as well - Armand, Odette's former husband. Or future husband as it were in the dream. I wonder what stage they are at right now. Not that it truly mattered since this was not the past, just a dream of how Odette remembered it. Or perhaps not even a dream of an event that had actually occurred. "A friend of yours, perhaps? I would not want to keep you from someone whose company you were expecting."
