"Heard you've been lookin' for me, you little shit. Ready to dance with the devil, huh?"

leans in close, his eyes burning with malicious intent You see, my dear, I have a proposition for you.

pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, since you've exceeded my expectations, how about a reward? A taste of the power you seek.
