The selected stare. Some with awe, some with wonder, and some with a hungry desire in their eyes. The ones whose stares were filled with desire looked away last. Keefe stands up and pulls out a chair for me. His gaze was one of love not awe, wonder, or desire. I raise my hand causing silence to fall across the room.
" As you know, a week has passed. It is time to clip another number of selected. Another 5 shall go home tonight." Some of them shared nervous glances. " Those who shall not stay with us any longer are Dempsey, Alexander, Faxon, Conley, and Dex." Those who were named paled.
Dempsey stood up. " Why me your Highness? Have I done something to offend you. I gaze at you with love not hate."
" You, Dempsey, do not gaze at me with love. You gaze at my crown with lust. That is why you must leave. Guards, escort Dempsey to the train."

" I can tell when there is something in a dish that isn't supposed to be."
And with that Dempsey was gone.
" Keefe Sencen, come to my chambers once you are done here."
" I have lost my appetite and shall come with you now." Keefe declares.
