Day 2
The second part was ridiculously easy, because he was already doing it without even realizing: talk at the same rate.
Tony's enthusiasm was contagious, it was impossible not to go into his orbit. For a moment, Bruce wondered who really was seducing whom, but came to the conclusion that it didn't matter.
The whole point of neurolinguistic programming is that it's not pretend or act differently, is simply a matter of doing consciously what one would already do in a relationship, perhaps speeding things up a bit. If he was feeling good and acting so natural, it was because he was doing the right thing.
And Tony, well ... Tony seemed mesmerized. As they were talking, he ignored all the other people around him. This was kind of embarrassing. When he had to warn him that Steve was screaming at him for a good five minutes in one of the meetings, and realized that he genuinely had no idea of that, he thought he might have gone too far. But the prize was too high so he could quit. Perhaps he would never find another person who would accept him for who he was, and that was so similar (albeit very different) of himself.
And the satisfaction of knowing that Tony had never been so because of another person also was too good to give up.
