[Truthfully speaking, this Ball was nothing more than a glorified dance class in Linhardt's mind. They were practically obligated to attend and partake, dancing with people and exchanging smiles and pleasantries; a ball like this was at least somewhat important to the nobility, Linhardt was sure, but as far as he was concerned? He had no business here, and the first chance he could get out, he took gladly.

He wasn't altogether sure about where to go, honestly; he could certainly just turn in for the night on his bed, or get back to his crest research, but there was another curiosity that he wanted to take a look at; the Goddess Tower. The details were a little fuzzy in Linhardt's mind, but he had heard some so-called rumors about what happened within the tower. Something interesting would happen if two people entered the tower...was it that they would be blessed by the Goddess if they shared a vow, or that they would be cursed for defiling her tower? Linhardt couldn't really recall off the top of his head, as it wasn't a topic that interested him too much, but...well, it was an interesting research opportunity and there was certainly a first time for everything.

But of course, he knew very well he wasn't exactly destined for much in the love department. As far as he was concerned, the Goddess Tower would be a once in a lifetime napping spot, and Linhardt intended to take the bait. It was surprisingly quiet, though he didn't doubt that there were people waiting to come in and try to find their 'true love', as they would likely call it. Linhardt finds his way to a nice spot within the tower, settling himself in for what's likely to be an interesting sleep, if nothing else.

Who knows, maybe he'll get to eavesdrop on some unlucky sap within the tower before he nods off, or perhaps even hear someone find the love of their life. The latter would certainly be a nice thought, for one of the others, perhaps. That would at least be interesting to hear...]

[How asinine. In some ways, Hubert is irritated that anyone could be interested in a Ball now, of all times, but it can only mean good things for Lady Edelgard's plans. If no one is on high alert yet, they won't see it coming.

Anyway, Lady Edelgard has already told him to put those thoughts from his mind and to enjoy himself tonight. She looked mildly annoyed after the third time she told him to relax, so he took the liberty of slipping away from the dance.

If asked, he would undoubtedly say that the Goddess Tower drew his attention because of the rumors, and the prominence everyone has placed on it. Many students have already made plans to go there and make a wish together, and while he has no interest in the rumors, he is mildly more interested in seeing who shows up there than he is in the dance.

It probably won't lead to anything truly useful, but if he's been tasked with "enjoying himself" tonight, this will certainly prove more effective than staying at the dance ever would.

He's already at the tower when Linhardt arrives, hidden in the shadows with a spot he's unlikely to be noticed in. He watches Linhardt for a moment, mouth quirked upward just the tiniest bit in a smirk. Linhardt, of all people... Who would have guessed it. And here he thought the man was more interested in napping than in anyone else.

He'll remain here for now, just watching Linhardt for the time being.]
