[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.

[osreborn]

Indeed. And you took time out of your busy schedule for it, too.

[enigmaestro]

You know what this means, Norman. I'm sure.

[osreborn]

Oh yes. And trust me. I'm very proud of you.

[enigmaestro]

What.

[osreborn]

Weren't you waiting for some validation?

[enigmaestro]

Oh. Cute.

You won't seem so smug soon enough, Osborn.

[osreborn]

Won't I? You know how I love a challenge.

[enigmaestro]

Good, because I'm playing for keeps.

Speaking of keeping, how's your little green secret been?

[osreborn]

My what?

[enigmaestro]

Your other face.

[osreborn]

Mm. Quite busy.

[enigmaestro]

No details between friends?

[osreborn]

We may be many things, but friends isn't one of them.

[enigmaestro]

What would you call us, Norman?
