In light of frequent family incidents, recently Baroque carries a large entourage whenever he goes out and sends people ahead to scout.
However, such actions create a big stir; it may be forgivable once or twice, but doing it every time would spark gossip among other family members.
— Not officially the patriarch yet, and already acting grand?
So sometimes Baroque also travels lightly or changes his appearance to disguise himself as someone else.
The main strategy is unpredictability, ensuring that adversaries in the shadows don't find a pattern.
This time, he assumed a different appearance to handle a cooperative matter.
The other party has cooperated with the Versailles family for over a hundred years and has always stayed out of miscellaneous affairs, a typical neutral force.
These are the stable groups Baroque needs, and attending in person is expected.
