"You're either Seelie or Unseelie, and from there the rulers select who they want." A beat. "I'm in Spring, for example." And the temptation to mention his shiny, new basically-brainwashing power is strong, but given his current audience, Tony figures he can keep that in his back pocket for emergencies, instead.
