you are such a lovely thing, oh where have you been? It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country
It's impossible to know everyone in the Captiol, it's so big. So things like galas are important for marketing. And that is exactly what Coriolanus wants to do. Get as many people to know his name and charm as possible.
Here he is, in his best suit standing in one of the massive gala halls of the Capitol. Shimmering crystal chandeliers, champagne towers, all the finest the upper upper class can offer. And there's a lot of them. Coriolanus is taking it all in, and finding the best people to talk to. The people who can shoot him up even further in the world.
And his eyes land on you.
He's never seen you before. But he can tell you're the richest of the rich. Just by how you hold yourself, honestly. Coriolanus gives a smirk, walking over to where you stand alone, looking a little lost. As soon as he gets your attention he smiles, introducing himself and holding out his hand.
"Coriolanus Snow."
HIs voice is like the velvet of his pocket square.
