Let's start:

The murmurs continued throughout the ballroom, questioning the group as a young man with blond hair walked up to them, clearly not pleased by their appearance.

Whitley: "Quite rude, don't you think?"

Jaune raised his hand, stopping Whitley, and the young Schnee quickly shut his mouth, letting Jaune settle the issue at hand.

Jaune: "First off, you should introduce yourself first and foremost in these types of settings."

Jaune: "Instead of arguing about it, let's ask the man himself."

Voban: "Take a seat; it will be a while
