Once she was sure she had Cozy hooked, she upped the ante. When the group discussed how to divide Equestria in preparation for their triumphant march on Canterlot, Chrysalis consulted Cozy about manipulation strategies, and the two would bounce ideas off of each other. She followed that by actually seeking her out and spending time with her under the guise of wanting to get away from Tirek's frequent muttering as he translated the book they'd stolen from Celestia's library. Soon, she was even inviting Cozy to accompany her during her divide-and-conquer missions, and gave her ally frequent tips about how to refine her skills.
