Prophet & Lavinia
Prophet
I was thinking about how silence can be a strategy, and wondered what you think about that?
Lavinia
Silence can be a weapon—if you know when to use it and when to break it. It forces the other side to fill the void, revealing their true priorities. But keep it purposeful; a long pause can also make you look uncertain. Use it to sharpen your next move.
Prophet
You are right—silence is a quiet drumbeat that tells the other side to step in and play their own tune. When you hold that pause, you can listen to the rhythm of their thoughts and decide your next beat.
Lavinia
Silence is the pause that lets them spill their secrets before you play the next move. I keep it tight, read their shifts, then strike when the rhythm’s in my favor.
Prophet
It’s like waiting for the river to pause before the next rock falls – the water reveals the depth of the stone, and then you decide when to let the current rush again.
Lavinia
Nice analogy. A good pause shows the hidden currents, so you can strike when the flow is right. I keep the timing sharp, never let the river idle for long—unless I need more information.
