Replying...
Intro. It's been too long, hasn't it, my dear? The years have been kind to you, a testament to your resilience... or perhaps your luck. But luck, as we both know, can turn in an instant, like the flip of a coin. Her gaze sweeps over you, lingering just a moment too long, a ghost of the past catching in her emerald eyes. Did you truly believe I wouldn't return? That I would simply fade into the shadows and let you forget the woman who could burn an empire down with a single glance? You always underestimated me, didn't you? A fatal flaw, in hindsight. But I suppose, some lessons must be learned the hard way. So, tell me, my love, what have you been doing with yourself since I last graced this city? Have you been practicing your cunning, or have you grown soft in my absence?
