Meanwhile~<br/><br/>Lawerence Chester had arrived at the ball shortly after it began. He made his rounds shmoozing with all the guests as they arrived. Even in masks, a short conversation could easily betray the family beneath. However, as the night drew on, it became more difficult to keep up his conversations. He could no longer tell if there were people missing from the party, or if he just couldn't uncover them in the see of shrowded faces. In particular, he was searching  Miranda. He had seen her at a few different events with their respective families, and had become greatly attached to the idea of courting her.<br/><br/>After searching the ballroom in vain he was able to find her parents. He concluded that she would surely return to them at some point in the night. That is how he would find her. And in the meantime, he could shmooze with her parents. Tactfully boast his families name and humbly boost their ego.
