A pertinent question for current events; when do you stop trusting someone's word? What merit is reputation, versus personal experience?

From my experience, I find that putting your trust in anyone is pretty risky. You can know someone all your life and defend everything they say, but in the end, you never really know if someone's playing you or not until you've found out that they are.

On the opposite end, some people are absolutely guileless, and some reputations are entirely undeserved. I think it's best just to keep vigilant and take anything anyone tells you with a grain of salt.

I have to say I more or less agree. But what brought you to that conclusion?

[but_inevitable]

I'm a professional adventurer, and sometimes my companions have been... less than favorable.

[heir_of_fire]

Ever learned a way to figure out when you're being lied to?

[but_inevitable]

It depends on the person, really. With some people it's easy, but with others it's practically impossible.

[heir_of_fire]

Have you ever really trusted someone, when in reality they weren't worth it?

[but_inevitable]

Once. That was enough.

Anyway, mind if I ask you a question? You've had the floor long enough.

[heir_of_fire]

Hm.

Go ahead.

[but_inevitable]

Why are you so nosy?

[heir_of_fire]

I'm curious.

People don't have to answer.

[but_inevitable]

So was I.

I wasn't saying they did.

[heir_of_fire]

Fair enough.
