It was an odd ability, to be able to mold them as she pleased. This, she realized, was why Faelene had urged diplomacy, why the FrostHeart had hidden his racism behind a cool facade. It was easy, when you gained their trust, to bend them to your will. Particularly when they were so vulnerable. Tolio had faced rejection, had been sent away by a very dear friend (a mental snort of disgust), and had returned home seeking a purpose, seeking someone to confide in. And here she was, just waiting for the opportunity.

She felt as though she were seeing the world through new eyes. How wonderful it would be to put this lesson to use! What had she been working towards, after all, with all this fake diplomacy, if not the ability to manipulate people as she saw fit? And, why, it was so easy! Deceit dripped like honey from her tongue, and they never knew the wiser - she wondered if it wasn't somehow connected to her ascent to the throne (after all, she had never tried it before), but somehow she suspected it had always been present. After all, Riekahn the Crimson King had gained allies somehow, had he not? He would have had to have learned this same lesson.

Tolio seemed calmer now, but almost dejected. She wondered, briefly, what would help him - perhaps getting back to his work. He didn't seem talkative now, not after his rather explosive outburst, but then, she could be wrong, being new to the whole acting-friendly charade. "You are not happy," she observed, amber gaze never wavering from the stallion. "What do you desire most, my soldier?"
