Success

What a performance!

You spin a tale of the Correspondence being the language of the great beasts asleep below the city, and she swallows it! You make a great issue of not pronouncing certain symbols[..]Later, a present arrives, tied up with perfumed ribbon.


Failure

Well, she is rather good at this

You spin a tale of The Correspondence being the language of the great beasts[..]and she doesn't believe a moment of it. Virginia smiles indulgently at you but leaves without a word. That night you dream of a screaming mountain of the skulls of liars.
