Ben still didn't understand what was going on, but he supposed he was willing to trust her, at least as far as the corner. It wasn't as though he was that invested in this party, anyway.
"Okay, okay," he said, hoping to soothe some of the frantic energy he felt from her. "I'll see you there."
He made a gesture of farewell and made his way across the room— not purposefully, not suspiciously, but stopping to exchange words in passing here or there— and finished his wine as he did so. He left the empty cup with a servant and retrieved his coat, then headed out the door.
Which corner? He supposed he'd just have to pick one, since it was too late for clarification now. He should have asked for more detail when she'd asked him to leave, but… something about the way she said it made him think it'd be better to just go along with what she wanted than to waste time overthinking it.
Hopefully she'd find him, out here in the cold.
