054. Honesty

[electroniccrane]

[audio // English]

When someone gives you a name, it doesn't necessarily follow they were telling the truth about it being their name, especially if they have reason to lie.

The principle can be generalized to a variety of conversational circumstances.

Couldn't you have just told him, instead of the public service announceme--

... wait, nevermind. Can't say I wouldn't believe other people around here'd believe something like that too.

[electroniccrane]

I did tell him.

[Well, by her standards she did, but Jak needs things spelled out, and she really doesn't do that.]

[axemeaquestion]

So public service announcement, huh.

[electroniccrane]

[If she weren't surrounded by idiots, it wouldn't come up.]

Gullibility is not a good quality to have.

[ntjstapwn]

He didn't seem particularly willing to believe he was wrong.

[electroniccrane]

Another bad habit.

[ntjstapwn]

Quite. Some people are lucky to even have the chance to learn from that type of mistake.

[electroniccrane]

Death isn't permanent here. Mistakes are much less costly.

Was the sparring before or after you left Damas to die?

[Ahmna Jak you up // Text]

Now this is just rude.

[shadesofeco]

And what the hell do you call leaving my father to die?

[shadesofeco]

Yeah thanks. I get it.

[electroniccrane]

Then act like it.
