[Alucard is quiet for most of the feast itself, deciding to more or less dress down. The event is for observation so far as he is concerned, as the reopening of Old Public Hall must be splashier than this.
Which isn't to say he doesn't take advantage of what is around him. He spends most of his time at the stage, quietly listening and absorbing what is performed. Writing down names, including a few idle sketches about what might be needed so far as accommodations go.
He is more likely to be talkative closer to the food, where norms force him to be a little more alert. In realizing he's blocking someone's access to the especially excellent roasted quail (deboned, thank goodness), he takes a step off to the side.]
Pair it with the figs poached in red wine. The contrast is excellent.
