who: dominic & @reveryfm where: The Barnett House (event)
Society events didn’t bother Dominic. He knew some people hated them and found them to be an inconvenience, but Dominic understood the necessity of them. He didn’t like that the Barnetts had something to celebrate, but Dominic wouldn’t let it ruin his night. He’d watched as others wanted to be appraised, as if they were nothing but cattle. Dominic may have been necessary in these events, but he didn’t have the patience for this sort of spectacle. Even though someone was getting appraised, Dominic couldn’t hear anything above other people talking. The Duke of Chartres was now in England, and many hoped he was looking for a wife. Dominic understood how frustrating this could be. He crossed the room, brandy in hand, and introduced himself. “I find these evenings are more tolerable with enough liquor,” he joked, holding out one of the glasses. “You’re the subject of a lot of conversations there. I’d avoid it if I were you.”
