Believe me when I say that you are no favourite of mine.
[She says nothing about keeping an eye on Elissa, though that is indeed true. She keeps with the pleasant act, though at the offer of being nominated as Elissa's Second, Anora's blue eyes flash.
A trait reminiscent of her father's. Her voice is passively pleasant, and there's a light chuckle.]
I fear, my dear Warden, that this is not something that could possibly work both ways. I am no second.
I am interested in a partnership, but if you are looking for someone who is just as happy to play second as they are to accept the title of leader, I would look to Alistair instead. He bends over more graciously than I ever would.
[She continues, her voice quick, serious, to the point and void of any mockery despite what it is she says next.]
I know how the title of leader can plague some, driving them to stray from their duties and disappear. I look to ease that pressure, Warden. If you wish, I can find another second...but I would truly prefer you despite whatever differences we may have. Had you lived in my time, I would have extended a similar invitation.
