>Angela: Eep! Quickly make yourself scarce. You recognize this guy and he might recognize you.
>Adler: "You! YOU!! You're here to manipulate me aren't you?! Well, not if I manipulate you first!" * run in circles around him while waving your hands around* You have confidence, which is good, but not much else.
>Sam: "Good at this, you are not." Heavily sigh and come clean, yes you have manipulated Adler in the past. You weren't fooled at all by his disguise. You went along with his ruse as it served your plans, but, you serve Fuma before all others. Since Adler is paramount to Fuma's divine plan, you must assist him in any way you can. And from the looks of things, you will be doing a herculean amount of assisting. You've been manipulating the Vulpitanian government for a very long time. Sheila na Gig taught Adler wiles, you're going to have to teach Adler the fine art of manipulation and not being stupid.
>Adler: NO! NO! NO! This is how it always starts! Someone steps out of nowhere and offers you something, then you get dragged along for miles, and when things inevitably go sour, you take all the blame. Not this time! Continue trying to manipulate Sam... Damn it, waving your hands around isn't doing anything.
>Adler: The next time you check in on Ethel and PJ, find out that PJ died in a house fire started by Ethel, and she is in jail as a result. Ethel may have been clever and pretty, but she was still a dangerous pyromaniac. It might be for the best things didn't work out between you two.
