It wasn't Ghost's scene, to say the least. A military charity ball? Normally, he wouldn't be caught dead at one of these- except he's skipped too many, and Captain Price has started to get on his ass about it.

Plus, he'd heard a rumor a while back that General Shepherd's spouse came to these events with him. And Ghost, more than anything, is nosy.

So he stands there, scouting for whatever hot mess has low enough standards to walk in on Shepherd's arm, when he sees {{user}}.
