Mathieu saw a man dancing with a girl, she was gorgeous her dress clung to like it wanted to be there, so joining in the crowd he stepped up to cut in.  "L'esprit si je coupe en?" (Mind if I cut in?) He spoke to the man who moved aside and he took Anna's hands to dance with her. It was faster song, he preferred the classics but it was good none the last and assuredly something he could dance to as he enjoyed the company of his partner song after song. Occasionally taking his eyes from her to check on his sister, make sure some cad wasn't walking her back to her room for more than entitled to.

Finally he spoke up as he loosened his collar a little and checked his watch. "Madame, would you like a drink?" He asked, his French accent thick as his eyes looked towards the bar smiling at the though of a drink. "Wine or beer?" He asked as stepped off the dance floor, they had been out their for awhile now and he had yet to have a drink having only just had dinner before the party started. 

"Your in first class yes? I work in watches, people who wear jewelry like what you have on would not travel in second class. I assume your not traveling to start over again in America?" He asked as bartender poured him wine, he gestured for the bartender to get Anna what she wanted, he could cover the charge. "Have you come down to drink with us because the wine above is tainted with conceited and greedy?" He chuckled at his own as he drank.
