I'm quite pleased to hear that, though it seems I may have dredged up some unpleasant thoughts in the process.

[fanstheflames]

... I got brainwashed into joining a cult and letting them tamper with my body and then I tried to kill a lot of people.

[ it is a very quiet admission. ]

[thisisalie]

I see.

And now?

[fanstheflames]

Definitely not in a cult anymore and I'd rather die than try to kill innocent people.

[thisisalie]

It seems to have been quite the experience for you.

[fanstheflames]

... Yeah.

[ With a little huff. ]

It's not something I'm proud of, but it's not something I want to hide from you either. Even if it's disappointing to hear about.

[thisisalie]

Did I ever say I was disappointed?

[fanstheflames]

I did say "if". I can't speak for you.

[thisisalie]

Then, you are not a disappointment, bright sailor.

[fanstheflames]

... At all? You don't think that was weak of me?

[thisisalie]

I would not think such a thing of you.

[fanstheflames]

Sometimes I think you're way too nice to me. Which is a weird thing to think.

[ because he's probably the biggest bully. ]

[thisisalie]

I've simply be in a much more questionable work environment.

[fanstheflames]

More questionable...?

[thisisalie]

Yes. Being a con artist puts you around very unique people.

[fanstheflames]

How long have you been a con artist, Kleken?

[thisisalie]

Since birth.

[fanstheflames]

... That can't be true.

[thisisalie]

It takes a long time to become good at this.

[fanstheflames]

Well, yeah! Obviously! But I don't think you were born like that!

[thisisalie]

Could you imagine me any other way?

[fanstheflames]

Yes. [ promptly. ]

Kind of.

[thisisalie]

Do tell.

[fanstheflames]

I bet you were a sweet kid but shy and then you got really good at lying to protect yourself.

You've been nice to me too many times when you definitely wouldn't get anything out of it, so I think maybe that's just how you've always been, you just also really mastered the whole conman thing too.

[thisisalie]

... That's quite the imagination of me.
