“A pleasure to meet you all,” Gabriel replies with a broad smile.Rystil Arden said:"Well, at least you're a good sport," Zoe laughs.
"Gabriel, this is the lovely Julie Novier," Elise gestures to the brunette, "And this handsome young man is the inestimable Gerard Dupin."
"Pleased to meet you," Julie adds.
"A pleasure indeed, good man," Gerard adds with a nod to Gabriel.
"Simply a target of opportunity, I'm afraid, Gaby, baby. You were the first of the three strangers to come talk to us, though I admit I would have done it differently for the young lad--the way he moves makes me think maybe he's never been with a woman in the first place."unleashed said:“A pleasure to meet you all,” Gabriel replies with a broad smile.
“Why thank you Zoe, though it’s not nearly as hard to be a good sport, when one is greeted by a beautiful young lady in such an enjoyable manner,” Gabriel chuckles. “So, how is it I became the object of this little melodrama, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Rystil Arden said:"The pretty Lynette is pleased by freedom to do as she chooses. These parties are a necessity in the ebb and flow of life's ocean, but then they will fade, leaving me to my own devices. As long as I have my free will, I am happy, and I prefer small groups or solitude to these events. You look like you're one of the sheep, though, who laughs and smiles at these trite pleasantries, so why not return to your flock? I'd be very surprised if you were actually like me. I mean, I know men are perfectly capable of lying to try to get into a woman's pants, but there's a limit to plausibility, don't you think?"
"Can you not imagine that it is the future, not the past in the least, that motivates me? When you understand why, you will have some idea of what it is like to be oppressed as a woman among the nobility."Fenris said:"Whether I am a sheep, shephard or wolf clothes in wool, I think it matter naught to you. You have your freedom. Your freedom to judge a man by the size of his shoulders and not the head the sits upon it. The freedom to judge a man by his clothes, and not the heart that resides within. The freedom to paint all men with the same brsuh. I am glad you have your freedom Lynette, for it seems to be all that you have. Myself, I may not be as free as you. Men do have obligations in this society that render them bound as much as women in some ways. But still I have happiness, for I choose it Lynette. I am grieved for you that some event in your past has poisoned you heart and soured your life. But I have no time for such things. I wish you well and that you retain your freedom, my apologies for imposing a polite conversation upon you." and Tristan bows very formally to Lynette and turns and walks away.
Rystil Arden said:(OOC: Correction--Zoe was the one who played the trick on Gabriel. By the way, if Hyacinthe wants to go do something on his or talk to the servants, he is free to do so. I guess maybe Gabriel will tell him that in character too)
Fenris said:Shaking his head at himself Tristan mutters something regarding whether Lynette was capable of knwoing happiness.
Still the d'Toussaints were never ones to be held down for long, and with a smile on his face he approaches a small group
*Just nearby, two pretty girls who might be sisters seem to be trying to engage in conversation with a young man who's just a bit shy.*
And introduces himself.
