OOC: Sorry I've been on hiatus for the past 2 weeks!!!!!! I'm here now!!!
A maid came in with a tray of tea and placed it in front of them. The tea wafted around the room with a pleasant aroma, and Sebastian would have been more excited if he had the stomach for food at a time like this. Unfortunately, he didn't. He was once again thrown into an awkward conversation which involved meaningless banter. He very much doubted that Miss Kirton would find him even considerably interesting if he simply told her that he was a translator at the MoM and a Gryffindor alumni. In fact, he would venture to guess that Maddie Kirton, should the conversation go in the way most of these uncomfortable conversations tended to go, would consider him the last person she'd ever want to marry.
Sebastian was a generally very well mannered man, a bit on the blunt side, but only in the most amusing way possible. He was a hit at society functions and had a reputation for being a fun and personable young gentleman. That was the case, too, but it didn't mean he liked social rules. He was rather critical of etiquette and found the whole institution entirely too stodgy. That most had to do with how constricted he felt. Sebastian had been the type to run around and cause havoc back in school. Now that he was a little bit older, he was treated as a mechanism to move ladies in to the field of matrimony and it was a dreadful bore.
Sebastian head her question loud and clear, but had suddenly decided in a moment of rashness to counter her with a question of his own. He leaned forward just enough to be within out of earshot of their chaperone, but not so close as to seem improper. "Miss Kirton," he began in a whisper of a voice, brown eyes meeting hers with a bit of a whimsical expression about him, "I want to ask you something and I want you to be entire honest... why are we here?" It wasn't really a polite question at all, when you thought about it, but he was going somewhere with this, and if she wasn't entirely invested in this situation, then perhaps she would play along with him.
