Re: Private to Sera
He had heard that it was pleasurable, but at this point he did not care much for pleasure. He wasn't bred for pleasure and he is not sure if it would even be worth it. To him, it was procreation. If he wasted no time trapped in lust for skin, then he would have more time open and free tondo other, more important things. "Serafina, I see no point in indulging. A few captured moments here and there seem of little value in the grand scheme of things." Perhaps he could think of losing his virginity if the occasion arose. But thus far it had not.
"We will find out soon," he agreed. "I just am not curious as to what they are thinking. It is a point of interest. Whoever I am paired with needs to be compatible with me. I wonder if I know her? Perhaps not. I know of no other Russians in our current social circles. Are you curious as well?" Now that Serafina had opened up that thought avenue, he need to pursue it for his own sake. This was very important.
"That is cheating. You are not coming willingly. It seems to me that he had forced your hand in an effort to best you. That's not a very gentlemanly act. I'm sure he is well aware of the expectations that we have placed on us and knew you would not be able to accept." Though he felt extreme distaste that she was forced into the situation, he knew better than to suggest she not go. It would not be proper, nor would it be his place to comment.
