I think I understand. I can kind of understand exceptions like that if nothing else. I want to say a hundred stupid things that would probably come off sounding insincere at best and starting a fight at worst, so I won't say any of it right now.

I do think he'd want you to trust him. But I'm not going to blame you just because it isn't always that easy to trust people in general. All I wanted for my part was to figure out what your perspective was on it.

[mylegacy]

Why did you want that?

[lapidarius]

Because understanding people is important to me, because I like you and want to know you a little better, because I'm probably too curious for my own good?

Pick one, they all apply fairly well.

[mylegacy]

I don't mind that you're curious.

I'm trying, you know. To trust him. I think he probably deserves it.

[lapidarius]

You already know I'll say he does. But I'm heavily biased, so take that as you will. But for what it's worth, I think he and I both know you're a good person.

...Let me try that again.

You're a good person in much the same way I think I am, which is to say we're somewhat awful people with decent morality.

[mylegacy]

Sometimes decent morality.

I didn't mean to make this so serious.

[lapidarius]

Sometimes is still better than never.

It doesn't bother me. Besides, I did the same thing so I should apologize too.

[mylegacy]

What if neither of us apologized? That means neither of us is wrong. Problem solved.

[lapidarius]

I do hate being wrong. That's fine with me.
