"You just said each family has to contribute their greatest talents."
"Yeah."
"Then why is there a selection process in the first place?"
Thinking about it, the contradiction became painfully obvious. Lugh frowned slightly. It was definitely confusing.
Sela scratched the tip of her nose with a lazy motion.
"Ah, that."
She paused.
"Well, to understand it properly, you'll have to recall what I said earlier."
Lugh didn't respond. He simply stared straight ahead, expression blank. His face had returned to that eerily neutral mask. Sela continued anyway.
"I told you—each family contributes their most talented people."
He gave a curt nod.
"This naturally meant that only the strongest became enforcers."
Oh.
Now he understood.
Sela glanced at him, her eyes lingering. Now that Lugh wasn't actively showing expressions, it became surprisingly difficult to tell what he was thinking. Which was exactly why she continued without pause.
