Jerzy came to meet him dressed the same, except now he had a blazer on and his cat tail was popped out swishing slightly in irritation. He actually had a great distaste for parties. "Young master," he greeted.

Oktober fought to hide his blush as he nodded back to the man.
They were then announced and Oktober circulated the party, speaking to this giver and that bearer, several of which filled his dance card and quickly.

Jerzy watched from his side line. He noted that his master got many offers to dance which bothered Jerzy. He made a mental note to teach the boy how to keep more slots opened in the case of a sudden offer by one that had a high position as well as to keep refresh. He also needed to teach him the respectable ways in which to flirt while dancing without crossing the line as he could see some of the givers were taking his innocence to take advantage of the situation.

The night ended rather successfully in Oktober's mind. As they said fairwell to the last of the guests, he adjourned to the green salon for warm tea before bed. Staring over at Jerzy, he awaited the man's critique.

Jerzy made his way over to his charge. "I have to say, you exceeded my expectations for this night. However, this is just your first party as an adult. In a soon lesson, I'll need to show you the correct way to turn down a dance. You'll get too tired and won't enjoy yourself if every slot is taken up, young master."

Oktober furrowed his brow. "I thought the point was to keep moving, dancing, and being positive. How can I do those things if I turn down dances?"

Jerzy cleared his throat before answering. "Young master, if you accept too many dances in one party, it fives off the wrong impression. Also, you should keep tabs on who you dance with so as to not allow one person to over take most of your time. Others may get the wrong idea."

Oktober bit his lip at that. There had been an overeager lord in Viscount Monturs that had kept insisting he show Oktober the gardens. He hadn't went, of course, but was at a loss of how to deal with such gentlemen.

"You should never be too far away from a large group or people unless with your escort or a relative. That is the first rule in parties for young nobles like you. "
Jerzy went over to a corner and suddenly held out a hand. "Come now, I'll teach you a few things before bed."

Oktober nodded and grabbed the man's wrist, careful not to touch his hand as his previous tutor had taught him.

Jerzy pulled the boy closer and moved one the boy's hands to his shoulders before placing his own on the heir's waist. He gave them about a foot of room between each other. "You should never get closer than this to a partner that you're unrelated to. Where my hands are and where yours are are the proper place they should be while dancing." Jerzy patted his hands against the boy's waist to emphasize before moving them down a little then a little more heading towards the boy's bottom. "If you feel this happening immediately do a twirl, trip, or say something along the lines of -Oh, it seems your hands are slipping - and smile with your eyes closed. It is considered a polite turndown without actually voicing your dislike."

Jerzy nodded then leaned slightly toward. "Now a review of what you learned yesterday. Please show me."

"Y-You mean?" his flash flushed and he gulped before softly pressing his lips against the other man's mouth.

Jerzy lightly pressed his back, hands now having drifted to the boy's bottom and pulled him closer. He was probably pushing his luck, but he needed the other to get use to it.
