Emperor. Mantis nods in honest respect for the title. Everyone has their own way of getting through life, and what a cushioned ride that must be.
"A pleasure, Emperor Lotor." The only comfort Mantis has is seeing that Lotor's mental state doesn't feel the same as Hiroki's. Or rather, the witch's. "Fortunately, I've now realized I'm familiar with the markers of Haggar's presence. She's subtle, but not a particularly great actor, and even she cannot hide her presence in someone else's mind."
He pulls away from Hiroki briefly to send a simple message directly at Lotor using his psychic link: She has telepathy. She's here right now.
"It's interesting meeting someone who's telepathy is so strong. I can respect the skills she has in using those abilities, but in this place, her preferred method speaks more to her arrogance than anything. She's not the best actor I've personally met, and her technique for keeping her hold on someone is as callous as mine."
