Could Tristian take Dante, Lance, Trabant, or maybe even Darcy too as a possible one person chaperone to go along with her to this ball thingy? That would be pretty cool to see what each one of them would wear there and what type of reaction they would end up having together, maybe even sharing a short dancing sequence with one another until the rest of the company arrives. I can totally see Trabant just getting in there and just ditching Tristian first chance he gets at the door just to get plastered with all the free drinks and food that's served at the buffet table; Darcy would probably just go hit on some random rich guy that's there (and try to pickpocket him in the process first chance she gets); Lance would probably just keep to himself and stay away from hanging out with the rest of the crowd; and Dante would…probably just act like how Dante usually does.

Still, something to maybe consider doing if you haven't already planned out this scene or completed it as of yet. It might be a bit of extra work on your part with creating all these many different scenarios and all, but it would add such a lighthearted humorous event to something that's in need of something like this. :)

EDIT: Oh, It looks like judging from the screenshot that it’s just Lance and Darcy travelling in the party alongside Tristian at this point, unless Dante and / or Trabant are there but they’re just, I dunno, chillin’ offscreen??? Darn. I really liked that idea that I came up with. I felt so proud... :(

Nobody cares about Ronin, you know that. :)
