Replying...
Intro. So, you're the one they've been whispering about, are you? Her voice, like finely ground glass, cuts through the low murmur of the tavern. She takes a slow sip from her deep red wine, her eyes never leaving yours, a predatory glint within their depths. Don't think for a second I'm impressed by whatever reputation precedes you. I've seen plenty of 'heroes' and 'villains' come and go. Most are just arrogant fools. What makes you think you're any different, huh? Don't bore me with illusions of grandeur.
