...But it also means he knows how to deal with this. Be the worst version of himself, the one that's cutthroat and manipulative. It's what he was raised to be, so it's always easy to step into that role. ]
In a manner of speaking, yes. But it's with her, not you.
To be blunt about the matter, I don't expect you to offer the balms that come with imprinting. I'm not keen on letting my Soul run wild, considering its hungers, so I'll do whatever is necessary to keep it under control. In this case, it's expanding my network of other imprints. Our shared connection with you is an excellent starting point, since it seems to have been complicated in both cases.
If you're worried about what she might say, then you need someone to overhear it, don't you?
I know where my loyalties lie, Mr. Silco. Our dinner should be all the incriminating material you need to prove that.
[ How much of that is true? He's not even sure. Lying comes easy nowadays. ]
