"Not a thing," Ben agreed with a shrug, though it was also entirely possible that he had overlooked a minor detail. There were plenty of balls happening tonight, after all, and he hadn't intended to stay at this one for his entire evening. "I expect they're just trying to be interesting," he speculated. He wasn't sure how well they'd done on that front — it had sparked a conversation, after all, but if it was nothing more than that, would it really leave a lasting impression in the scope of everything else that happened during the season? (Or the off season, since that was technically the time of year they were in now).

"But," he said with a loose shrug, "Everything's more interesting with alcohol, so." He was certainly in favor of wandering off to find the drink table.
