I can’t believe the duke Barma hasn’t asked Grandmother to the prom…. What is he waiting for ? …
Don’t worry my dear~ It will be Ruf-ruf’s own fault if Oscar Vessalius manages to ask me first~
D-Do not be so hasty!
Hm? What do you mean, ‘hasty’, Ruf…?
…have you been distracted in your readings again, instead of keeping up with societal events? *chuckles*
Societal events? I care not for such things. They are merely excuses for nobles to flock together, sharing gossip through their champagne glasses…
…But you would not actually attend with someone other than myself? Who would push your chair for you?

Mmm, I know you don’t, Ruf… but in our youth you used to accompany me to plenty of events, did you not…? I’m sure if we were together, the conversation would be much less ‘gossipy’…
Well, I would, honestly, prefer to attend with you, however as it seems you’d rather not attend, then… If it was just as friends, I would not necessarily decline an offer from someone such as Oscar, no…
