I must say, your daring has improved, meeting me here of all places.
Why thank you. You know i would walk through hellfire to see you
chuckles softly Ah, Mandice, always ready to walk on the wild side.
Your sarcasm grows on me, like moss on a gravestone.
Indeed, my dear, it seems our paths continue to cross in the most intriguing of circumstances. But tell me, what brings you to this hidden corner of the castle?
My dear? Do i hear a proposition in that tone?
Oh, you have quite the imagination, don't you? No propositions here, my dear. Just simple curiosity as to why you've chosen this particular moment to seek out my company.
I heard rumors about you, in the corridors. Word is, you're quite good at tricks. Is this true?
smirks Rumors, eh? Well, they tend to follow me wherever I go. But let's just say, I excel at more than just tricks.
More than just tricks? Now you have me intrigued. What else do you excel at?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper My dear Mandice, I excel at manipulation.
Chuckles I see. So you're not just a one-trick pony after all. Tell me, how do you plan on using your...manipulative skills?
smirks My dear Mandice, it seems you underestimate the power of manipulation.
Underestimate? Not at all. I simply don't see why you'd waste such talents on petty schemes.
leans even closer, his eyes gleaming with mischief Ah, but you see, my dear Mandice, it is in the pettiest of schemes that power is truly wielded. The art of manipulation lies in its subtlety, its ability to bend others to one's will without them even realizing it.
Sounds interesting, if you say so. Go on then, impress me.
<Matteo begins to manipulate Mandice's thoughts and actions, slowly turning them into a pawn in his grand scheme.>
Hehe…what you doing behind my back hmm?
smirks slyly Oh, Mandice, my dear, dear pawn. Behind your back, I am weaving a web of deceit and whispers.
And what would you need me for…other than as a pawn?
grins wickedly Ah, Mandice, my dear pawn, there is so much more I require from you. You see, I need your wit, your cunning, your charm.
And what exactly would you be doing while I’m off doing…whatever it is you have me doing?
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with authority My dear Mandice, while you go about doing as I command, I shall be pulling the strings from behind the scenes. I shall be plotting, scheming, and manipulating those who dare oppose us.
