[A challenge, then. A bet. The gears in his mind turn, again and again and again, angles upon angles presenting themselves.]
I'll be there, of course, to see all of this transpire. To confirm whether or not he's fooled by you; though, naturally, Prompto will not notice me being there.
[He'll be someone else, or he'll just appear invisible. Either would suffice.]
And why not just tell me when you plan on doing this ahead of time? I shall simply meet you there. There's no need for me to "haunt" your steps for the entirety of a week.
[Ardyn is shrewd, and if she thinks he will just trust Rosalind (or Prompto) will be truthful about this, then she's...wrong.]
[Well he's gonna have to learn how to trust his wife. It's shit like this is why she wants him to be honest, okay, they have to work on this relationship.]
Because I've no idea of when I'll do it-- and if it's to work, I'd like it to be a natural meeting, not me springing out of the shadows. He nearly pulled a pistol on me the last time I shocked him as you; I'd rather not end this bet with you being honest as you pull bullet fragments from my ribs.
[She hums softly in disagreement: the bullet might not have done anything at home, but she's not sure Prompto wouldn't try again here, just to see if it'd work.]
Have I lied to you once? I should think I've been more honest with you than I have any other person here.
[Except maybe Bigby, but that's a different case.]
[Stillll not buying it, sorry, Rosalind. Trust is something that doesn't come very easily to him. Real trust, not the sort that relied upon manipulation to garner.]
You know the saying. There's a first time for everything.

[And to be fair, that's partially why she doesn't want him there.]
Ask Prompto, if you won't trust me at my word.

He wouldn't waste the bullet.
[He should know that it's pointless.]
Besides, Rosalind, do you really expect me to trust either of you to be honest about this with me?
