“That one’s got a temper. Should have heard the things she threatened t’do me if I stabbed her in the back, the way she described gutting me.” Roman snickered. Not many people were bold enough to threaten him so succinctly, especially right to his face. Anybody else in his position would have good reason to worry and especially with what Foxglove was capable of but Roman Sionis wasn’t just anybody, not even to a meta. He’d been surprised when she’d actually replied, laying it out in no uncertain terms what he could expect if he happened to ‘betray’ her in any way at all. Not necessarily in a bad way; rather he’d been pleased, elated that his dogged pursuit of getting her under his thumb might finally be paying off after all this time. Her terms when it came to working for him had been less pleasing however. They’d been steep, almost too steep for him to consider pursuing her any longer but the more she felt comfortable around him, the more she inevitably revealed. Roman prided himself on being able to tell the content of a person’s character, and Foxglove’s personality screamed hers to high heaven. "The thing I like about Foxglove is that she’s honest, no games about it whatsoever. Sounds like a dumb thing to like, and maybe it is but honesty is as rare as... well, an honest cop here in Gotham. Makes my job much easier and if I’m right about her, Foxglove can talk a big game all she wants but she’ll find it harder to walk away than she thinks, I imagine.” Not through blackmail or ‘persuading’ her to stay through other means. No doubt that would only earn her ire, but using her honesty against her on top of providing a safety net too comfortable to give up so easily? She’d be eating from the palm of his hand before the year was out, so long as she thought she had the better deal between the two of them. And if she didn’t like that, he could always make sure the only job she could look forwards to finding would be a waitress at Pauli’s Diner. ”Besides, somebody really needs to give her a guiding hand on how to be threatening. Ripping out people’s guts is as soft as it gets.”
