For his part, Aramis is looking at this celebration as a new beginning. As a means of moving on. Of moving past the mistakes he's made and finding a new path.

It has become clear that kneeling in his room and praying are not that path. There is drink to be had, camaraderie to be part of, and yes, women to meet. Hence, the Musketeer is here, wearing his full regalia (back to, of course, being a man, thank God). He will happily dip his hat and give a slight bow to any beautiful woman - chivalry, of course! And while the drink that sends bubbles up his nose is not exactly his favorite, a good glass of red wine is and he will drink that as he makes his way among the party-goers.

He is not seeking trouble - that should be stated clearly. However, should trouble find him, well, that is hardly his fault, is it?
