"What a rather wretched selection this year. I am thoroughly disappointed," he said, with no particular emotion. his hands fell to his lap politely, as if he expected some sort of royalty to walk through his doors. "tell me, mr. avidly, what do you think of these women?"

"i am merely the butler of these games, i harbor no such opinions. i will be gone the moment your wife is chosen."

"oh, you're pathetic," he sighed. "i find it rather peculiar that this---uh---persephone lee, has been to so many marriage games and won none. a woman like that is abominable. a disgrace to her family, i'm sure."

"then i don't understand why you accepted her application, sir."

"oh, yes. i did accept it, didn't i." he smiled a wide, toothy grin. his eyes glistened like fresh blood. "you don't suppose anyone will miss a runaway, do you?"
