FORMAL OR INFORMAL, WITH MUSIC OR WITHOUT, YOU COULD BE AT A GLAMOUROUS GALA WHILE A SINGER CROONS SOFTLY OR IN THE SILENCE OF YOUR OWN LIVING ROOM. WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU HAVE THE URGE TO DANCE. DID YOU ASK YOUR PARTNER OR DID THEY ASK YOU? HAVE YOU GOT TWO LEFT FEET OR IS THE VIENNESE WALTZ YOUR JAM? IT COULD BE AWKWARD, IT COULD BE ROMANTIC. EITHER WAY IT'S CUTE AS HELL.

[ Ninon has been back in France for a while now, though Athos had yet to answer any of her summons until this night.

He knows there must have been some political arrangement to allow her to once again take her place in the glittering halls of her home, but he supposes with the Cardinal gone and the Queen very much allowed to speak her mind, then it might not have been as difficult as he assumed. Still, he doesn't see her for the first two weeks. He claims he's busy when the invitations come, takes extra patrols even when he's done his due. It's not that he doesn't enjoy her company, it's just that Ninon encompasses a certain ... change in him that could take place.

This time he's in public when the envelope arrives. It's to a ball that Ninon is holding, something charitable that makes him smile softly to himself. He's still very much going to decline, but Treville catches sight of it and tells him of a man that he wants Athos to keep a close eye on, and surely it would be so much easier when he's invited as a guest. So he does his best to quell the worry in his gut and makes his appearance, sticking close to the edges of the room and as far away from the dancing throng as possible.

He feels her before he sees her, or at least, that's what it seems like. Ninon always had a spirit about her that was easily placed and it's with a certainty that he turns to greet her.
