Re: Entrance
Despite the drama of a former lover's arrival, Eliot still insisted on going to the ball with Quentin, wearing this. Don't worry, his hair and makeup was much more on point. How else would he pretend everything is fine and he has zero guilt or feelings at all?
He might have also arrived a little pre-lubricated with tequila quince cocktails. He might also have a flask in his jacket.
It's enough that Charlton is there. So anyone who is psychic can probably see that third wheel fussing over Eliot like a little anxious ghost.
