[The ball is certainly going to be a wonderful time. Lorenz and Camilla arrive together, but it isn't long before they split off from one another. He trusts that she'll be just fine on her own - though it's not like she'll truly be alone. With how gorgeous she looks, he's certain she'll be asked to dance repeatedly, and have quite a few people to chat with throughout the night. He'll keep an eye out for her, of course, but he does want her to enjoy herself.
A night where she doesn't have to worry about being his retainer is exactly what she deserves after all she's been through, after all.
Which leaves him on his own, of course. Not that he particularly minds, the other members of the Golden Deer house are all dressed nicely and he's quick to pull quite a few of them to dance, and then there's Ferdinand who is all too eager to join him. Really, it's such a wonderful evening and being able to forget about the rest of the world for one night is exactly what he - and everyone else, he's certain - needs.
But there is one person he hasn't danced with yet, which is almost a bit suspicious. He would have expected Claude to ambush him at some point. Though admittedly, Claude has been remarkably more tolerable since Camilla was dragged away to Castle Krakenburg. The less spoken of that day the better, but he has at least thanked Claude and the others for all their hard work in trying to get Camilla back.
Naturally Lorenz is able to pick Claude out from the crowd. He looks (stunning? gorgeous?) handsome tonight, and Lorenz lets all the usual wariness and confusion he feels around Claude vanish as he approaches their house leader.]
I'm a bit surprised you haven't asked me to dance yet.
[It's said primly, with one brow quirked as he draws to a stop before Claude.]
I hope you didn't get any ideas about lacing the punch with anything.
[...Well, of course it's gonna be Like This, some things never change. Still, that doesn't quite explain the smile Lorenz is trying desperately to suppress.]
