I've heard some fascinating things about you.
You make people in this building squirm. You get under their skin, put fear into their hearts. You spread a degree of mayhem that I find truly admirable. Accomplished. I admire your skill as one might the brush strokes in a painting by a true artist. That is what I see you as. An artist in misery. The canvas is taut skin, you know, and the paint only comes clear and tastes of salt.
I won't ask you to tell me your trade secrets. That would be telling, wouldn't it? A magician never shows another how the trick is done, since they might take it and use it themselves. What I want is to offer my assistance. You are the artist, and I am just a simple noblewoman, offering my patronage.
Now, like all patrons, I may occasionally commission a piece from you. On the whole, however, all I want to do is help you flourish and watch you at your natural work.
So? How about it?
