[ Jayce had to deal with far too many galas and social parties for his liking back in his home world, but it's at least a familiar scene. If politics had taught him anything, it is that making connections is an inevitable need to survive in certain spheres, so where he is despite the place practically giving him war flashbacks. Someone put a lot of effort into organizing this, and besides, he's feeling rather lonely, so it can't hurt to mingle around.

He came properly dressed for the occasion, in a black and white attire, and brought a mask of his own, so there's no spell in it to stop hiding who he is. It would have been a moot point anyway because he's only talked to, like, three or four people in this whole world and no one knows him. He's also a 6'3 tower of a man, with a dark complexion and golden eyes. Being inconspicuous is not one of Jayce's skills, mask or not.

He takes a flute of a sparkly alcoholic drink to keep his hands occupied and watches people dance and chat for a little while, looking not awkward per see, but being a bit of a wallflower. Perhaps this was a bad idea after all. ]

[ Jayce has always had a sweet tooth and looks with interest at the candy when he approaches the dessert table.

He spots the one advertised as 'For those who need to loosen up' and hell if he doesn't need that. He assumes that the chocolates might have something like valerian root in them to help people feel less anxious, and he eats a couple while humming at the pleasant taste.  After that, for a little while, he does some more people-watching and casual chatting,  and all the way there's a low, pleasant warmth brewing in the pit of his stomach. Odd. His face feels too warm and his cheekbones are slightly flushed, prompting Jayce to put his flute down even though it's only half full. ]

Ah, I think I might have had one drink too many. [ He gives the person near him a smile. It's sheepish, but he feels inclined to socialize. ]  I've never felt this warm after only a couple of glasses. Maybe the alcohol from his world is stronger than the one from mine.
