[Hey, if the Little Mermaid can pull it off...]

Good. Though I don't mean to say it would mean he'd entirely be a tyrant for asking for a certain standard for you...the impression of his staff likely is an extension of himself, after all.

[It's not just that he's twitchy about the M-word, but also that Mildmay insisted on wearing black to suit the traditional role as his esclavin under the binding by forms. Felix has hated it, of course, but he could not argue with the weight of history and symbolism.]

[servantnotserving]

[Well, he's current a giant bear-lion-bull man but hey. ]

True, I am the more...public face of the household. It is my job to be sure guests of the castle are catered for. Hence, I make sure I look my best.

[Or he did, before all the...candelabra stuff. But hey, at least he can be glad that, asshole that Adam is- he's never been that much of an asshole.]

[lord_wizard]

[He nods his understanding as he continues sliding hangers down the rack

I have to say it's refreshing to meet someone who shares some of my tastes. It's rare I meet someone who knows what a cravat is, let alone how to tie one.

[servantnotserving]

[Sweet lord, he misses cravats. He really, really does. ]

It is truly tragic, mon ami. The modern day 'fashion' [he moves his little candle hands like he's doing finger quotes] is confusing at best. How on earth do they make an impression in parties?

[lord_wizard]

I've gotten the impression it involves less clothing instead of more.

[He smirks]

[servantnotserving]

[He laughs. ]

Well, oui, but that is usually towards the end of the party. Or perhaps a little in the middle, if you're feeling adventurous.

[lord_wizard]

I don't mind an early exit from a soirée, if the reason in compelling enough. Disrobing before that would be particularly gauche, even for me.

[servantnotserving]

Ah, but you might find a compelling enough reason to duck out and return later. The trick is doing it and making sure no one has even realised you have left.

[lord_wizard]

[That gets the tiniest snort of laughter from him]

Why would I do that, when I can give them all a chance to miss me?

[And then he gives Lumiere a full force grin, candelabra or not.]

[servantnotserving]

[Oh, he likes that grin very much thank you. Felix has earned himself a patented eyebrow waggle. ]

I like your way of thinking, monsieur. Be sure you are never forgotten in the minds of the guests.

[lord_wizard]

[HE IS NOT SURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS]

I begin to wonder who was doing all the entertaining at your Master's parties.

[servantnotserving]

[Just accept it, Felix. It's a thing that's happening. ]

Certainly not my Master- though he was rather young at the time. Still, dignitaries and nobles need to be made to feel important, no matter what the host's...situation.

[lord_wizard]

Feeling important does tend to be among their favorite hobbies.

Do you still entertain often, since...[a tiny vague gesture at Lumiere's candle-person]

[servantnotserving]

[Lumière lets out a sad little sigh. ]

Unfortunately, not. Back home, we do not get any visitors, not until Belle and her father. I have not had the opportunity for quite some time. Something I plant to make up for here.

[lord_wizard]

We are afforded unique opportunities, certainly...

[He pauses to hold up a waistcoat of satin the color of chocolate with matching embroidery] What do you think of this one? Darker than my usual choice, but quite nice.

[servantnotserving]

[Lumière tilts his 'head' to one side in consideration. ]

That will look quite fetching, mon ami. I believe there is a cravat a few stalls over which would go with it perfectly, too!

[lord_wizard]

Perhaps I should hire you as my stylist.

[He won't, but it's a compliment at least]

[servantnotserving]

Ah, if only I did not have a full plate already. [He's teasing. ] I am sure there are people better skilled than me at this.

[lord_wizard]

That remains to be seen. I can appreciate the wardrobe of some of our fellows, but their taste wouldn't necessarily suit myself. But perhaps I am stuck in my ways.

[servantnotserving]

Ah, that is very true. You would not want to be saddled with one of these modern fashions. [Looking like a fashion disaster :|] There are worse ways to be stuck in, mon ami.
