[This man is certainly presenting a puzzle, albeit one that is entertaining rather than immediately dire. No need to rush off somewhere to hunt out clues when the entire story is sitting right in front of him to be pored over and picked out.

Not usually Heizou's mode of operation, but he doesn't mind it now and then.]

Hmm? Which is it? Will you, or won't you? Should I give you an opening or two in the interests of fairness?

[He'd like it either way. Compliments often mean very little to him, though that doesn't mean that he doesn't like to hear them! Who doesn't like to have their ego stroked now and then? Heizou grins, his eyes almost seeming to sparkle with it. He can keep this up until their food and drink arrives... and probably beyond that.] You have a way of emboldening a man, you know? And those eyes of yours. Marvellous.
