"I have not yet met you..." he replied simply. "Until now" he added. Lowering his gaze briefly, he looked thoughtful. He began to pace back and forth slowly, making sure his back wasn't turned to her for long if at all.
"It is true, yes" he said regretfully. Another failed plan. But still. Failed plans still had worth and value. They allowed him to learn from those experiences so he would perhaps not make the same mistakes again. However, that was not always the case.
"Is this why you asked to meet? So that you could mock my attempts?" he asked, turning to face her, hands still behind his back. "You are the one currently threatening this place. My brother and I will find a way to stop you" he said, very sure of himself. He sounded confident. But a slight fear lingered underneath.
