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 it is who I think, then yes. Did he say where they met? How long ago?" He pressed, pulling Nell towards a door that led from the Ballroom, into a little-used room to one side. "What else did he tell you?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He didn't say anything like that." Nell said as the door closed behind them. "He told me he had a lover named Aimé and that they had an understanding. I think that means Aimé may be someone else's lover also but we didn't talk that much. He wouldn't admit to anything else." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	Léon nodded, leaning against the small table in the room, thinking, his hand moving to push his hair from his eyes. "Aimé Laurent and Mercedes Dupont. What a pair they are." He looked up at Nell then, and smiles "You've done very well, Nell." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is that important?" He asks. (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, very important, very important, petit espion." He smiles, reaching to stroke the tips of his fingers over the boy's cheek, still cold from the chill air outside. "And certainly worth double whatever we agreed for this evening." (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Double?" Nell smiles, leaning into the touch. "But why is it so important, Léon?" (Replies frozen) (Parent) (Thread)

	"For a great many reasons, little one. They have information I need, but they will not give it. Lovers... and you entertained Mercedes Dupont... that could be very useful, little one." He smiles, fingers trailing down to brush Nell's lips. "Double." He confirms. (Replies frozen) (Parent)
