Growing Strong

Damn. -scrunches her nose and pretends to be crestfallen- You figured out my ultimate tactic. The game is over, then? -shakes her head slightly, but with amusement- But tell me… out of the context… is it so hard to believe that there’s a girl exists who doesn’t fall for your charms the way the others do but merely sees you as good company and nothing more? Excuse me, that was rude… I meant great company? -flashes a cheeky grin-

Good to hear, Tyrell. Oh, you’re ‘the master’ now? And who were you taught by, may I ask? -chuckles along- I don’t know what kind of an impression I give off, but charming women silly is not a part of my interests. But still, thanks for the offer.

-shrugs- I’d never be so arrogant to make claims about the future. Mayhaps I will, yes. But until the day where he wrongs me like you seem to think he will, it would please me to look past his last name.

*chuckles at her disappointment and taps her nose lightly with his forefinger* That’s not  a tactic, my sweet. Only a means to keep yourself safe that will never work. *watches her grin and smirks back* It’s not that there isn’t a girl who could truly resist me. There are several. But what I’ve found in my travels, is the less I want someone, the more they want me. The more willing they are to make themselves fools for my attention. So to save them face, and my own, I feign interest. I make them weak in the knee, and hope it placates them enough not to make more of a show of it.

Not charming women, silly girl! *laughs and slides an arm around her shoulders* You must be one of the silliest girls I’ve ever met, Wylla. A friend taught me. He taught me how best to keep women at bay. How to keep them happy long enough to distract them from my truer interest. *grins* He was an artist in how he managed.

*sighs* As it please you. I make no means to call to the future, only draw from experiences past, My Lady. I promise you.
