"Non, je ne veux pas l'autre." He said with a calm voice as he inspected his clothing in the mirror. He never really liked the life of a courtier much, and fancy clothing never interested him beyond being able to mingle with his fellow nobles in them. Inspecting his rather simple blue clothing for any irregularities before putting on a black overcloth signifying his grief for the fallen King Henry VIII, who ironically bore the same name as himself, albeit with a different numeral. He realized that his position in this court would be destabilized by the King's recent death in a campaign against the French, a campaign in which he had been called to fight on the French side. As a result his blue clothing might be seen as provocative, but he did not care. He was proud to be French, proud of his House in Montpellier, despite that his family had no love for him, nor his fellow countrymen. He would wear his family's colours with pride, and he would not let himself be intimidated into an even worse position. With the old and stubborn king dead, he would have a chance to aim his words of reform to ears who might show interest in his words, and noone would stop him from that. He could even reason that his obvious French roots would only prove that he did not wish to insult the English court, as his Protestant faith was obviously unwanted in France, and he would represent the repressed Huguenot Protestants in the English Court, signifying their support to the young Queen.

Nodding at his servants he made his way to the Great Hall, which was already being filled by all kinds of nobles, some of which offered him friendly nods, some of which offered him angry glares. Most of them however ignored his arrival, as he had suspected. He had not entered the foreground eversince his rather unspectacular arrival at the court, and unless he required to do so, he was content as a rather unknown factor here. Seeking out a similar-minded English noble, he began a short banter with the lan as they mobed to the sides of the Hall. Henri was no dancer, despite that he was able to, and didn't feel the need to join the celebratory festivities going on in the middle of the Hall.
