You are welcome, Bernadette Grantham.
For the record, if she wanted to throw out some of those better compliments, she was welcome to do so. It would be a waste of breath, mind; Nem believed the intent behind compliments and flattery sent their way about as much as that which they meted out. Even the Big Man was blowing hot air as far as they were concerned, though Nem was slightly more inclined to believe him. Somehow. Or maybe they just-...
No. Whatever.
It was no self-esteem issue; no danger of that. No, it was nothing more or less than the knowledge that Nemesis Upstead was the only one who could appreciate Nemesis Upstead for who, for what, they were. Not to overlook the fact that, when you played games with people, you could only anticipate that they were doing the same with you. Otherwise, you were plain stupid. Otherwise, things got plain dull.
Nem gave a little shrug - sure, one thing - and left the unfinished threat unaddressed. Maybe they'd both circle back around to it, if necessary. In the meantime, Nem watched Grantham closely, body language in particular. Ultimately, they found what she said only half as interesting as how she'd said it.
"What makes you think it was you?" They kept looking - staring, really - right at her, bold blue eyes really taking her in. "Do you remember much about it?"
