[ He's been looking forward to this dinner with Vice, lack of tastebuds be damned -- it's far more about the company for him, anyway. Their first week in the Honeymoon Suite was blessedly uneventful, pleasant and quiet save for the brief periods he had returned to the manor, and it hardly seems possible that a week has already gone by, and only one more remains.
He is perhaps a little stir-crazy, a lance without a target, but he has, at least, had plenty to think about, thanks to his conversations with Vice and Celeste. He's not so good at being alone with his thoughts -- his five years of solitude will attest to that -- but this has been...beneficial, he thinks. His mind is clearer than it has been for awhile.
So when Vice asks him that question over their somewhat unusual (if still delectable) meal, his answer comes more easily than it would have a week ago. ]
To be honest...I'm a bit anxious. We're still the only certain match. Do you think the others will be able to figure out their own in time?
[ Though he's not as anxious about it as he expected. He wants his wish, of course, but whether or not he uses to complete his revenge remains to be seen. It would be more satisfying if that came by his own two hands alone, without the aid of magic. ]
i'm just picturing them spending the first week in the suite napping or something
