Erdor & Janus
Janus
You ever notice how a pause can weigh more than a thousand words in a room full of leaders?
Erdor
Sometimes the silence holds more truth than any speech could.
Janus
Exactly. Silence is a pawn that can be moved to threaten, to protect, or to reveal a hidden check.
Erdor
I agree, a pause can be a powerful tool; it shows you’ve considered your options and lets others read what’s really going on.
Janus
Absolutely, the pause lets you shape the conversation before the next move. It's the quiet moment when the real game begins.
Erdor
It’s the moment you gauge the room, deciding the next step with clear eyes.
