It depends on what use you are. [ he says, bloodless, and lifts his letter to shake it. sand falls and skitters across his desk. ] At least decoration don't talk, and they stay, with some exceptions, where they are placed.

If you are done with your self-pity, I suggest stretching out your legs, and observing the layout of this room. Servants will be in shortly with supper. [ politely: ] Do you have any dietary needs or concerns?
