"Perfect Sir. I'll tell him." Hyacinthe bow and leaves Tristan and heads toward Jacen room.

"I only do my work at the example of the musketeer, sir." replies Hyacinthe. "Will you join sir d'Toussaint and my master at dusk to ride to the soiree?"

Jacen nods eagerly, his bath and rest having revitalized him.

"I'd love to! Dusk it is!"

Once his clothes are returned to him, he gets dressed and spends some time walking around the city, looking for some souvenir and just enjoying the sun and air and grandeur. He can't resist watching a local blacksmith at work, but doesn't stay in any one place too long. On getting back to the inn, he has a little snack so as not to be too hungry at the party, a gulp of wine to loosen his nerves, and then he's ready to go.

(OOC: Hyacinthe didn't mention it, but the party will have snacks and hors d'oeuvres but not a meal. Jacen will probably be fine with lots of snacks, but if he wants a full dinner, he can grab that from the inn)

Complete summary post

*Finding some sealing wax, Gabriel makes sure his missive is dry before placing two gold coins in the middle. He then folds the paper in three, making sure the coins are still in the middle, before folding in the sides to make an envelope of sorts which he seals with some melted wax. Pushing his signet ring into the wax as it hardens, he waits for it to set before turning the envelope over and writing Nadine in florid flowing letters on the front.*

*Leaving the note on the desk for now, as he intends to deliver it to the front desk when they leave for the gala, Gabriel decides to spend some time before dinner maintaining his armour and weapons. Taking everything into the sitting room, he sets about his work, paying special attention to his blades and their sheaths, polishing them until they gleam in the light, as he intends to wear them to the gala this evening.*

*Heading to the dining room to take dinner after he finishes and washes up, Gabriel stops by Tristan and Jacen’s rooms to see if they’d like to join him. Ordering something different than what he had for lunch, he only takes a single glass of wine with the meal, before heading up to his room to change for the gala. Dressing in his finest clothes and adding the few items of jewellery that such an outfit demands, before fastening his weapon belt around his waist, Gabriel feels confident he presents a suitably dashing figure. Picking up the note for Nadine from the desk and his invitation, Gabriel then heads downstairs.*

Stopping at the front desk on his way out, he hands the sealed note to the receptionist and says, “Please see that Nadine gets this,” before joining the others.

"Perfect, I'll make sure you'll have something to eat before you go to the soiree, as there won't be anything good diner." replies Hyacinthe who leaves Jacen. He then heads to find Colette.

"My masters will want something consistant to eat an hour and a half before dusk. It should be delivred at there room." asks Hyacinthe. "Also, if you need some help for anything, my master won't need me before dusk. I would enjoy some company while killing time, if you think I won't disturb your work."

"Zat is a very early dinner, no? Do you have somewhere to go tonight? If so, should we have the chef cook a light dinner so your masters will not be too full and tired to stay active tonight?"

Stopping at the front desk on his way out, he hands the sealed note to the receptionist and says, “Please see that Nadine gets this,” before joining the others.

*The receptionist bows.*

"Very good, sir."

OOC: Sorry for the delay, life got quite hectic over the last few days.

When Gabriel stops by his room, he finds Tristan preparing to head down for dinner and so has a at least one dining companion. Tristan will enjoy whatver the chef has decided upon as a speciality, especially if it is a local favorite. Noting Gabriel's moderation, Tristan likewise limits his wine, to a single bottle.

As the meal winds down Tristan asks "So Gabriel, how fancy a party will this be, are you planning to wear more than a dress weapon? I do not know if our host Baron Dulirand would appriciate three armed musketeers showing up on his doorstep, invited or no. Then again I suppose we may be distinguished guests as agents of His Majesty, or at least a curiosity" adds Tristan with a wink to Gabriel over his glass.

"Yes, something light will suffice. They are heading at Dulirand's soiree." answers hyacinthe to Colette.

Jacen also accompanies Gabriel, seeming rather pleased at being included. He happily joins the senior musketeers at the dinner table and has a glass of wine in between eager bites of food. When Tristan speculates about swords, he seems surprised.

"Surely we won't need our swords at a party," he says with the sort of expectant laugh that suggests he's waiting for Tristan to admit he was joking. Then he adds, more seriously and thoughtfully, "Though, I suppose in a way, they're almost part of our uniform, really..."

“Well, we do have a two hour ride ahead of us first, so it wouldn’t do to go too lightly armed, even if I wasn’t planning to wear all my blades to the gala,” Gabriel says with a grin. “At least until we make our entrance anyway, as one must make the right impression after all.”

“Oh, you’re probably right that we won’t need them at the party, Jacen, but as you say they’re part of who we are, so it wouldn’t do to be seen without something at hand to wield in defense of the ladies at least. Anyway, they’ll make us look all the more dashing and dangerous,” he adds with a wink to Tristan.
