5th Con [Video]
[The video turns on and, once again, it catches Eliot outside shirtless while working outside in the early afternoon. This time it's chopping wood, having found some with fungus growing along the outside of it. This keeps up for a good couple more minutes until something interrupts.

I owe you an apology as well, Mr. Spencer. I was most rude to you when the Animus changed my personality, and for that, I am truly sorry.
I understand now that you were attempting to be helpful, but I could not, and cannot do what you suggested that day, not after how cruelly my friend was treated.

It's understandable, Mrs Montague. Don't forget that fire though; it could be good for certain situations.
I also get that you can't follow through with what I said before. As I said, personality changes or not, you've got that loyalty to friends. No one's going to have you toss that aside. If you ever do want those answers, I'm hesitant to tell ya outright, but I can let you know when he'll be able to say himself.
[Meaning he's not going to push the truth, but won't treat it as an offer thrown out the window.]

I shall keep it in mind, thank you. And please, call me Juliet. Mrs. Montague is still by rights more correctly used to refer to my mother-in-law.
[And a smile.]
Thank you for being so understanding, Mr. Spencer. And thank you for your offer. Although I am curious as to why you feel you may not tell me of such things yourself. Such reticence was understandable when I was not myself, but now that we are no longer affected by the Animus' mind games?

[It's only fair, after all. He doesn't stall too much in answering her inquiry; having figured it'd come up in the first place.]
I still would, if you insisted and really wanted to know, hesitant or not. Some things are taken in properly from the source, rather than a stranger. If it involves you and Saxon, wouldn't you rather hear it from him?

As you like, Eliot.
[She thinks on his words a moment.]
You are correct. I would rather hear such things from Lord Saxon himself, if there is such to tell. But if ever I do ask and he is hesitant to say, you will tell me if I ask it of you?

[Meaning he might lie just as easily as tell the truth, if not better.]
If these circumstances do come up, I'll tell you. You'll probably get the best results from him when he's more... open, like he was that week.

Is that not taking advantage of him when his mind is impaired, though? It seems - underhanded - to ask at such a time.

[It may not ever come up. To ask about such a thing so many months after it happened seemed silly. She likely won't, unless there is a natural progression of conversation towards it.]
