You gave me your impression, it was only fair I give you mine. But you're bold, you ask for things you want, and you don't try to hide behind polite falsehoods. You remind me of some of my favorite people, so it's been nice to get to know you.
[It’s not that she’s unused to people being nice to her, but she is unaccustomed to anyone being quite so open or sincere, so she pauses for a moment.]
You really are weird... [huff] Anyways, there’s no point in not being bold or not saying what you want! Someone else will take the opportunities that you pass up.
[It's fine he's just feeling generous right now and also maybe the tiniest bit vindictive in that maybe she deserves a little sincerity attack after That]
I happen to agree entirely. I suppose that's why I'm here at all in the first place.
[stop complaining about the nicknames!!! Anyway, grinning. Thanks for picking up what he was putting down here.]
In that case, I'm of course here to grant my greatest desire: to restore my family to the throne of the great Empire beyond the sea. I'm secretly an emperor, but I'm a bit on the outs with the court I'm afraid. Lineage situation.

For what it's worth, I think you're quite an impressive person. Or at least that's my impression of you here and now.

[she said that way too fast
But she also looks a little puzzled. She’s used to being complimented primarily on how good she is at beating things up, so:]
But what brought that on...?

Then what did you come here for? Ah, unless that’s off limits, too.

[Clouds start to move across the sky by now, as it gets later into the night. He doesn't seem all that bothered.]
. . . I suppose I'm trying to decide if I should come up with an intriguing lie or tell you the mundane truth.

[But she sighs.]
Mundane, huh? How boring.

[With a laugh:]
Very dramatic. Good luck proving you’re the rightful heir, I guess!
