What had she to offer?

Cool amber gaze roved over the femme's features, taking in the harsh planes of the face, the eyes that bore no trace of emotion. She wondered, briefly, if Chernobyl were really as cold as it would seem, for her orbs held a similar distance that she knew her own showed. The smile that passed over the fae's maw was not a true smile - it did not touch her eyes - but it was a smile nonetheless, and the Dark Empress imagined that it was filled with the cold-hearted ambition that had brought her so far. It was odd, to meet one that seemed to similar to herself - not, perhaps, in the obvious ways that she and Elizabeth shared, but in a more subtle manner. The shadow-mare thought for a moment that she might make a good assassin.

But that had not been her chosen course. She was a Scholar, under the Haruspex's rule, and that was that. Unless she sought a different course. Keen gaze surveyed her further, thoughtful under the mask of disinterest. What were the fae's thoughts on supremacy? Would she prove to share the views of the Plague, for example? If not, was she still malleable, able to be shifted and taught? As she voiced the desire for more, the question of what Psyche had to offer, a cruel smile crossed the Lady's maw. Perhaps Chernobyl would prove useful to her and to her cause. Having more followers, loyal followers, would never hurt. And, besides adding to her numbers, there was something about this one that made her wanted.

But what could she offer the femme, other than a position of higher rank? Or a place by her side within the secret organization that was the Plague? Was that all the mare wanted? A purpose? A goal? A family? So many questions, but she would not ask - asking what she wanted would prove the Lady to be inadequate, weak. And weak she was not. "I can give you all that you want, my dear. All you have to do is be loyal." Tones were light, amused, almost endearing, if she hadn't been so painfully alluring. "Tell me, darling, what are your thoughts on equines and pegasi?"
