[ Her eyes instantly widen in recognition, but settle back down into a wary sort of distrust. ]

...so it is you. Am I correct in assuming you have some sort of ulterior motive for contacting me?

viedo;

Ulterior motive? Probably the same kind you had when you said you wanted to do this over video instead of meeting in person.

[Her expression doesn't change at all, though - at least, not with recognition.]

So, none at all, I guess?

[...she sure is playing dumb.]

[sunshade]

Kindly stop insulting my intelligence by playing dumb. I can't imagine what you seek to gain from it, anyway.

[ is she bluffing? ALSO HARD TO TELL ]

I contacted you to talk about magic. Really. If you don't want to talk about it after all now that you've seen me, we don't have to... But I'm not interested in picking a fight or anything.

...almost everyone here is a stranger to me. [That's her story and she's sticking to it, apparently.] I can't hold any grudges against strangers... that would be ridiculous. It would be ridiculous to have ulterior motives in regards to strangers, too.
