This isn't a contest. Kosem is pretty, clever, and educated, and that makes her a good choice for you, to help teach you aspects of the social dance she'll know far better than I. Cosmetics. How to wear your hair. How to dress in a way that flatters you and sends the message that you're worthy of respect. How to put a best face forward even when you're not necessarily feeling it.

Do it for you, Little Bird. A nighttime dinner in the park after our evening entertainment, whatever it turns out to be. If you have a good time, and all of us enjoy our evening, then I'll be happy, too. How could I not be?
