"Now Lady Grace, I agree your chances are low, and I wish to make sure you have truly thought up the consequences should you succeed, especially someone as fiery as Elder Hermina and as, well, Durham and Durham. I do not want you to be put in a compromising social position."

"If you do decide to take on this task then I will actively take no part in the proceedings. I won't act against you in any way, I won't even vote, unless you can somehow convince me it's a good idea to vote the way you wish. Throughout the night I'll barely acknowledge the games existence."
He smiles widely before looking downwards for a moment.
"Please, I do not wish to insult your intelligence as I'm sure you will think this through before accepting. But please do think of the ramifications of success in this endeavour before we make this wager."
His voice is one of genuine concern. Ever the pessimist he is almost certain that if she succeeds it will only lead to a poor outcome.
