As Clovis entered Winter Liira's ball, he did his best to focus on his eyes not widening to the size of sauces. The women were beautiful, the men dashing, and the general splendor was breathtaking. From the gowns and suits, to the artfully placed food, to the rich colored fabrics and flourishes, there was not one thing that was unappealing to the eye. Uplifting music floated to his ears, and he could not help but let loose a grin. He'd get to show off his dancing, if nothing else.
He was mildly surprised to have received an invitation at all. Not that he wasn't qualified to go; he was of noble birth. However, he didn't get out much, hadn't created many connections of consequence throughout his life. Clovis's best guess was that because of the recent anniversary of his parents death, he'd been invited for part remembrance, but mostly for politeness. This was a perfect time to continue his parents' legacy by trying to make proper connections so as to get a respectable internship in one of the many subjects he'd spent most of his time studying.
Clovis made his way down a grand, intricately carved, dark wood stair case into the massive room below to find the hostess so that he might thank her for the invitation. He had to admit, he'd never met her before, so was unsure what to expect. All he'd heard were rumors of scandal and mischief, but was also unsure as to how true those stories were.
As he searched, his thoughts floated to clothes. He wasn't the best dressed by far due to fit. Clovis wore his father's old fine clothes, which were a bit big on his slender frame. He had an emerald green tunic of a velvety fabric that matched his eyes, laced up with silver threads. The silver continued in intricate stitching throughout the tunic. He also wore loose, dark tan pants and brown leather shoes worn from travel. Simple, yet elegant. Nice, but baggy. He'd tied his vibrant, crimson red hair back into a wavy ponytail. He was unsure of further fashion, so wore no jewelry. He'd only asked one of his servants briefly what to wear, and hadn't bothered getting anything taken-in in advanced.
