His clothes, while not shabby, were not up to the standard of at least some of the overdressed peacocks he could see circulating, and he gave their snooty looks the somewhat heavy lidded drunkards smile he had perfected over the years. He'd relieved a passing waitress of a few small sausage roll type things in passing, as well as glass of brandy, and thus fortified had wandered into the darkened room.<br/><br/><em>This ... does not look particularly good</em>he thought, staring at the sarcophagi against the far wall with a slight frown. Perhaps Wu was onto something after all. He had time to briefly examine one or two of the glass cabinets in passing. Whatever these were, they were different to anything he'd seen before, though the relief carvings on one stone tablet somewhat resembled something he'd seen on an overgrown abandoned ruin in .. Burma? Siam? Somewhere deep in a jungle where he had no place being anyway.<br/><br/>Letting the flow of the crowd carry him along, he took his place about midway down the chairs, seated behind an overstuffed walrus with the single most impressive moustache he had ever seen. He momentarily considered lighting a cigar, and seeing if it might catch fire from a stray speck of ash, before chuckling slightly and working on his food.<br/><br/>" .. can't think what she was thinking of, having such a creature here."<br/><br/>His brow arched as he overheard a conversation from ahead and few chairs to his left, where a pair of well dressed women had their heads together gossiping.<br/><br/>"I mean, even to create something fashionably scandalous, there are limits, and that Jezebel far exceeds them."<br/><br/>"She's probably a party favour for someone that got loose." remarked the other. "Put her out of your mind, and let's just enjoy the rest of the evening. I've heard that the von Heidenreich, the Austrian Ambassador, will be one of the special guests." They both looked towards the central table and sighed in unison. "And there was a gentleman from I believe India, had a horrible little creature attending on him."<br/><br/>"Nepal, I heard, not India." replied the second, waving her hand vaguely "Or somewhere in that direction at least. Little removed from barbarians themselves, if you ask me. Did you see he had a dagger at his belt?"<br/><br/><em>Sounds an interesting mix</em>thought Ramírez, moving his chair to get a less obstructed view of the middle of the room. He sipped his drink and waited to see what else the night would bring.
