[enigmaestro]

I know.

You're only catty.

How's that working out for you, with your own personal projects?

[osreborn]

They're going quite well, actually. I won't bore you with the details.

[enigmaestro]

What sort of rival would I be, were I bored with your details?

[osreborn]

Such flattery.

Like a duck to water, I'll say. She's a fast learner.

[enigmaestro]

She. You always favored ladies, didn't you? As mentee prospects. I wonder why.

Bad experience with a male?

[osreborn]

There's hardly any "always" about it.

[enigmaestro]

Always fond of dodging the question, aren't you?

[osreborn]

I don't know what you mean.

[enigmaestro]

Look at you, lying to my face.


The nerve.

[osreborn]

You think that I'm lying?

[enigmaestro]

I think you're omitting.

[osreborn]

This isn't about me.

[enigmaestro]

Norman, honestly. Everything I do, you think is about you.

Or that it SHOULD be.

[osreborn]

Well.

Isn't it, though?

[enigmaestro]

Not everything, no. I have a life outside of you.

[osreborn]

You updated me on your behavior without provocation.

[enigmaestro]

Because I want you to feel jealous, that's all.

[osreborn]

I don't feel jealous of your snivelling hench-child. Not even a little.

[enigmaestro]

He's hardly snivelling!

Now that I've stopped electrocuting him, I mean.

[osreborn]

Maybe I should ask the boy himself what he did to upset you so badly.

[enigmaestro]

You can try. He won't fold, I've trained him so well.

[osreborn]

We'll see about that.

[enigmaestro]

I dare you to, Norman Osborn.

[osreborn]

Then I look forward to it.

[enigmaestro]

Be sure to do it quick, while he's still vulnerable.
