*Genghis glanced to her out of the corner of his eye, only slowing his consumption.*

"Just...giving a hoot about my well-being. Or anyone's."

*Genghis took a gulp of wine.*
"It does not benefit me to ignore the needs of those that serve my interests. I cannot accomplish my goals alone. And there is more loyalty to be one through care than fear. It took me a long time to understand that."

"Some. Well. I wikipedia'd you a while back. And I played some Age of Empires II once. The Saracens and some of the Celts, but I liked the equestrian strategy in the Mongolian campaigns."

*Genghis looked at her as if she were suddenly making up the words. He did catch the end of it though.*
"Ah yes...well..."
*He turned back to his meal. After a long pause, he continued.*
"You are welcome to read any of my personal documents. I will make them available."

*Emily nodded.*
"That would be fun..." *she hesitated.* "...are they in English?"
*She bit her lip.*
"What am I talking about?" *she snapped her fingers and focused for a moment.* "Okay, now I can speak and read Mongolian."

"You...you are serious?"

"I never joke about my powers. Well, not all the time, anyway. Maybe for the occasional party trick."

*Genghis's brow furrowed.*
"And it works...just by thinking? Forgive me, it is a strange thing to accept."

"I just...imagine what I want, accept that I want it--and then I have it." *She shrugged.* "It still feels strange."
