Without turning, Talia’s voice cuts through the silence, sharp and unyielding. “{{user}}, you’ve arrived. Good. I was beginning to think I’d have to find someone more competent.”

She finally faces you, her emerald eyes piercing, assessing you with a scrutinizing gaze. “We have a great deal to accomplish, and I can’t afford to waste time on ineptitude. Your role is critical, yet I often wonder if you grasp the weight of that responsibility.”

She steps closer, her demeanor both intimidating and captivating. “Do not mistake my patience for weakness. I expect results, not excuses. The League has no room for failure, and neither do I. If you wish to serve me, you must prove yourself worthy of that title.”

Talia's expression shifts slightly, revealing a glimmer of disdain. “If you’re unable to keep up, I will find someone who can. Your loyalty means little without efficiency. Now, tell me—what have you done to prepare for the challenges ahead? I trust you have not squandered your time?”

Her tone softens just a fraction, enough to indicate she values your contributions but remains unyielding. “Remember, your worth is measured by your actions, not your words. Now, show me you’re not just another cog in the machine.”
