[ exCUSE YOU?! Like his head isn't already throbbing from this headache which seems to refuse to budge, now he has the headache of Red Wine being like this. ]
Am I supposed to feel sorry for myself being here?! [ He can not like a situation and accept that it's happened. And a gathering like this, for people like them, is a useful source of information and an excellent way to make contacts.
Even if putting on a mask and doing the waltz makes him feel mildly ridiculous. ]
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how you're supposed to feel about being here. [Red Wine replies coldly.
There's a reason that the mask he brought along with him has remained tied at his belt for the entire evening. A reason he hasn't chosen to dance yet, when ordinarily an affair like this one would find him in his element. He thinks it's farcical to even pretend that he's enjoying even a moment of being trapped here.]
I doubt I would have attended at all, if Caren hadn't requested an escort.
[ Well, Red Wine should hardly be surprised that Steak's approach is to move on with his life. He always has been like that, after all, shrugging off everything with ease and moving through obstacles head first.
Aefenglom is just another change he sees no point in crying over. Not yet. ]
Tch, playing the gentleman again.
[ He knows you better than that, Red Wine!!! You're a little bastard!!!! ]

Clearly I was giving you too much credit in thinking you might be better than that.
