The tie might not be black, but it's the thought that counts, of course. Jean-Claude is certainly not wearing a black tie himself. Or a tie at all, for that matter. How does he get away with it himself? Well, technically it's a cravat instead. Also he's wearing a brocade vest, a poet's shirt, and a velveteen overcoat as well as knee-high leather boots over his trousers. Which are certainly not leather. This is a fancy dress affair, and moreover, it happens to be for his campaign. For President of the Night Council.

He smiles as he spots the other man from across the way. A familiar face, despite the fact that he has only technically met him one or two times. He wonders whether Jason realizes what has brought him to this particular fundraiser. And whether he realizes it is Jean-Claude himself. There is only one way to find out...

Making his way across the crowd, he steps up behind the other man and offers, "I must admit, this is a different look from the first time we met, mon ami."
