France had been looking forward to this day ever since he knew it was going to happen. Of course he wouldn't give up an opportunity to get Jeanne into a dress. It had been his dream ever since he knew her (and that was a long time). He was naturally dressed up well himself, in a dark blue suit, his hair pulled back in a little black ribbon. He even trimmed his beard a little (but it wasn't going anywhere so don't say a word!).

"Okay, Jules. Are you ready?" He had a devious smile on his face. He expected that Jeanne would try to weasel her way out of this even if it was for a good cause, so he recruited his dear citizen to give him a hand. Not sure if he could handle Jeanne by himself, after all. "She lives right in that room there!"

If anybody asked, this was completely and utterly Monsieur Bonnefoy's idea. Not that Jules was against it, far from it. Ladies deserved to be able to dress up and go to dances, he felt, especially ladies like Jeanne who desperately needed time to enjoy themselves. Still, he would certainly not be taking the blame for such a plan.

He had been told that he wasn't the most fashionable of dressers, but nobody could deny that he at lest knew how to dress for such a formal occasion. Thankfully, the style of suits here hadn't changed all that much from the time he was from, and he hadn't had much trouble picking out a simple black one with an appropriately ruffly shirt and cravat.

In any case, the tone in France's voice worried him somewhat. "Of course," he answered. Why wouldn't he be ready? Surely Jeanne was expecting them... or so he had assumed. "You'd prefer to enter first, I'm sure."

It was silly, being intimidated by an article of clothing like this. Shaking her head to dispel her silly fears, Jeanne began stripping off the clothes she was wearing. The bedroom door was open, but since she was alone in the apartment it wasn't a concern to her. It wasn't as if she took long to change.

Although, was that a sound at her door? No, she must be imagining things...

...Right. Of course Jules was ready. And France didn't care if he got all the blame, he was kind of expecting it anyway. He always got the blame even when he didn't deserve it (which he usually didn't)!

"Very well, I will go first." He paused at the door, wondering if he should knock or if perhaps they should just go in. But then, Jeanne might not open the door if she knew that France and a fellow citizen had come to drag her out. She wasn't really expecting them, was she? They never made any solid plans about this event, save that Jeanne mentioned she had a gift for him...

So he settled on the happy medium and gave a couple of knocks before trying the door himself, actually for once completely and utterly unaware that he had horrible timing. "Hello, Jeanne!"
