When Evelyn first wakes up she's confused...she expected to hear the roar of the crowd, that she had just been temporarily been stunned. Confusion quickly gives way to disbelief, and she manages to stumble to her feet, slowly working out the numbness from her limbs. "How...could I have lost?" she says, out loud but to herself. She had only entered the tournament so she could secure the means in which to get Lux's artifact, but it turns out she wasn't even strong enough to make it out of the preliminary round. The realization washes over her and she sinks to her knees, eyes burning with tears. Had the man been right? Was there no more light left, and her mission doomed from the very start? Or...or would someone stronger have managed it, succeeded where she had failed? In the end, did it matter? She might only be obligated for ten days but she was left worse then she had started.<br/><br/>By the time Gandrev arrived the paladin was sitting down again, staring numbly at the wall. She will get to her feet when he arrives, but otherwise only the slightest movement from her indicates that she's even hearing what the man has to say to her. She knew it was coming but...what did it matter? Even if she were the sort to not honor her deals...and she wasn't...it's not like she could just leave in any case. Her expression remained blank when he entered the cage with her, but she finally manages to say "It...doesn't matter. I've failed in my one mission, and everything is lost.... " She's still clearly struggling with the directions events have taken her, but she isn't so numb as to not gasp as his hands find her uncovered sex. It would seem she would not remain chaste for much longer...
