Sauron & Karavaj
Karavaj
I was just whipping up a sauce that balances sweet and bitter, like a good strategy—kind of reminds me of how you mix your plans. Care to hear about my latest gamble?
Sauron
If it shifts the balance in my favor, I’m all ears. If it’s just a fleeting diversion, let it burn.
Karavaj
Think of it as adding a splash of spice to your stew—if it warms up the whole pot, then it’s a good thing, but if it just fizzles out, I’ll let it go like a burnt caramel.
Sauron
A spice that changes the tide is welcome, a fleeting fizzle is wasted fire.
Karavaj
Got it, I’ll stir in something that shifts the flavor waves—like a secret citrus zest that lifts the whole dish, no wasted heat.
