[enigmaestro]

Hello Norman.

[osreborn]

What is it?

[enigmaestro]

Oh. I've missed you, too.

[osreborn]

Will you get to the point, Nygma?

[enigmaestro]

So forceful, it's a wonder how dear Bella puts up with you.

You've been quiet. It's suspicious.

[osreborn]

You think that Bellatrix doesn't like me when I'm forceful? Oh, my. Well, good. I don't care for gossip.

Are you checking up on me?

[enigmaestro]

You're in need of a good check-up, Norman. Just like any patient.

[osreborn]

You aren't my parole officer.

[enigmaestro]

We could pretend I am.

[osreborn]

I'll pass.

[enigmaestro]

Typical.

[A beat. And then in a sing-song voice:] I have a surprise for you.

[osreborn]

Is that so. Well? Enlighten me.

[enigmaestro]

The kinship of treachery and trial,
Completed with the foremost of approval.

[osreborn]

Oh. It's a riddle.

[enigmaestro]

I composed it just for you.

[osreborn]

You know I'm not the sort that salivates for your attention.

[enigmaestro]

You've demonstrated otherwise, in the past.

[osreborn]

You're going to do something to me. Or you're going to try to.

[enigmaestro]

I have to put your blood to use, don't I?

[osreborn]

You expect me to hurt you, then.

[enigmaestro]

Norman, that's essentially your way of saying hello.

[osreborn]

Not necessarily.

[enigmaestro]

I expect the usual conflict between us, yes. Feel free to disappoint.

[osreborn]

I know you're trying to bait me.

[enigmaestro]

Come now, Norman, I had to riddle at you. It's only fair.
