[Seduction had never been his strong suit, and he had never even tried to improve that skill despite the Undercity providing all manner of opportunities. He was used to utilizing words to draw people through motivation to align with his goals and vision; he used fear to keep people loyal.
Seduction? People were taken with his power and promises. People envied, hated and respected him. Loved him? Only Jinx for the last decade. Respect and loyalty had been enough for him.
He thought he was luring Richard in with a different perspective when it came to scars, to being the monster everyone thought them to be. He was used to that tactic, and it worked well. He wasn't going to assume the rosy cheeks were anything more than the affect of the whiskey they were sharing.]
If you're offering, I never deny comparing life lessons. After all, I have no issue letting the monster that I am out.
[Time and place. This wasn't the Undercity. He couldn't just order those he didn't like murdered. He had to subtle, careful, but that didn't change who and what he was. Was Richard a kindred spirit?]
