[If Ozymandias did feel to need to lie, he would probably be extremely obvious about it. Instead, he's most definitely the type to announce his true intentions--good or not--with a sense of pride and a sense of 'and what are you going to do to stop me?' on top of it.
He could easily comment on the 'aquaintences' comment that Karna was already more than that now, just meeting or having known each other for a long time aside. But Karna had just toed over a very dangerous line.
One that made a swell of glee race up Ozymandias's spine, and settle on his face in the perfect image of a man having just found gold. Karna complimented him--and for people in Ozymandias' court, it was very dangerous. But Oz looks entirely delighted.]
Are you likening yourself to a snake, Karna? Because if that's how you feel, I am none too surprised. If your gaze is one that is caught easily in mine, perhaps we will get along marvelously with this arrangement after all.
[Translate: if you're charmed by me, then I'll keep you forever.]
Come. Join me in bed, and we shall talk more, there. I would like to get a better look at you, as well.
