Tobin represents Alfo now. In this place where there is no Alfo, Tobin acts like Alfo, sometimes Alexandra feels annoyed if it happens.
Why?
Early in the morning with a letter in his hand, Tobin delivered a special tea party for the men. Yes, it is commonplace for nobles. They are also looking for connections and of course they will show their dominance in the people who are there.
If they get a connection, they will be happy to accept it.
The stuttering of how to dress, the high status, the great wealth, they can be proud of all in the tea place. Sometimes they'll show off the women they have or their winning record, all that talk is sometimes exaggerated and makes the others even more enthusiastic.
