An Invitation to the French Ambassador's Ball
Subject: The Ambassadors Ball
Where: The French Embassy
Who: Léon Belmont, the French Ambassador to the English court
Warnings: none as yet
Open to: All (all players may attend either as invited guests of the ambassador, as servants or guests of those invited, as staff, or as gate-crashers.)

The ballroom of the Embassy was already growing busy, and when Citizen Belmont paused for a moment besides one of the large windows, he could see yet more carriages pulling up outside, wreathed in the mist blowing in from the river.

The quartet had been playing now for a good half an hour, new French tunes as well as those the English favoured. His staff was busy handing out good French wine, and then refilling those glasses when they were drained.

It was going to be a good evening, and not only in the eyes of the party-goers. With some of England’s most prominent aristos on the guest list, and some than some newly arrived French nationals, tonight would be a night of information gathering, of sizing up the opposition, and perhaps even ensuring some of those French escapees were returned to face justice.

	"If I have made you uncomfortable, Madam Kinsley, please, you must only say the word. I did not want to put you ill-at-ease." Léon says, his voice and face concerned. He had not intended to embarrass or make the woman uncomfortable, merely tempt her only his side. After all, as an Ambassador, he lived on his reputation. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, no, Mister Belmont," Adelaide said quickly at the sound of concern in his voice. "It is just a puzzling question for one who has spent so long shut away from the world," she told him softly. "I just feel unsure of my actions here tonight, as it has been a few months since I have socialized with somebody other than my servants." It was hard for her to explain the way she feeling and the nervousness she had felt prior to leaving her apartment in Paris.

	"And society has missed you for it, Madam. You should not lock yourself away from the world, and only speak with serving staff. It is a horrible thought." He says, patting her hand. "You must go outside. Visit your friends in England, enjoy yourself. I will not hear of anything to the contrary." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adelaide settled her lifeless gaze upon him for a moment before she looked down once more. "I fear my friends in England are scarce, Monsieur Belmont," she admitted gently. "However, I must admit that it has been lovely to be out amongst society again," she added. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Have you not made new friends yet tonight, Madam Kinsley?" He asked, still concerned. "I am sure a lady with as many qualities as you will have no difficulty making fast friendships. No difficulty at all." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose you are right, Mister Belmont," Adelaide said gently before remembering what he had said before and smiling. "Of course, that is not an uncommon thing for you," she added. "I worried that rumors of my curse would perhaps prevent me from making friends here, but it seems, thankfully, that I am wrong." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The English are much more forgiving of their own kin than you remember, Madam Kinsley?" He smiles gently. "Much more forgiving of their own then they are of us French, I have found." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adelaide nodded in agreement. "Yes, but I suppose that is because we like to stay close with one another," she admitted. "Us English prefer to do things as a whole than as an individual," she said softly. "I personally find the French much more pleasant, however." (Replies frozen) (Parent)
