She frowned slightly, "You believe I am a manipulator?"

"Not in a negative sense of the word. Manipulation can be many things, and is a powerful tool...I have just dug myself another hole, haven't I?" He chuckled nervously and ran a hoof through his hair.

"You may have a point on that. Those are things that are never have a delightful reputation. Manipulation, though, I do not think does. Think of the women who have saved many because of their powers of persuasion."

"Results are not all that matter," she said quietly. "There is a path to them that weighs in just as heavily."
