I'm surprised that her act fades so quickly. When I ask her about herself, she visibly deflates. Whatever game we were playing, I ended it, popped the bubble of illusion and left us with shreds on the floor. The look of disappointment and dissatisfaction on my face makes me even more curious, wondering what exactly she was hoping my response would be. I have a moment where I feel bad for asking... but it disappears, and my face remains unchanged - except that it seems a little bit... Colder. Sheba tells me the short story of her life. I'm not sure that I really meant that I wanted to know her history, but she's provided it anyway, and I sense that she might be telling me the truth. Unless she's trying to win pity from my heart? She won't find any here, that's for sure. My own past has left me jaded. You might expect me to empathize, to tell her I know how she feels and it'll get better. No.. no I like having the upper hand here and right now it's all mine. I took back the advantage and I will keep it thankyouverymuch. My face like stone, and my words come out cold as well, though their content is quite different. "Oh, dorogaya, you poor thing. How.... unfortunate. Troubled pasts make you SO much more intriguing." A smirk tugs at the corner of my lips, but fails to make a full blown appearance. Of course, she might expect that I will confess my own tale, but I think I'll keep those cards a little closer to the chest, if you please. "A pretty thing like you has certainly come out on top, don't you think? Where are you from? Certainly not this island as we've both just discovered it." Stating the obvious to get to a different answer.. well that's one method. Is this a conversation or interrogation? It started as the first, and I may have been trying to get my you know what inside her you know what. But now, I think I may be more successful with the latter.

Walk. Talk.
