I ask no honesty of you, Yotsu-san, though I doubt you'd have anything to hide. It's not like you've had to deal with living my life, so I can't blame you for getting so angry about all this," Diedrik responded then tugged at his goatee, "Where to start... Well, to your first point, I was simply avoiding butting heads with her. I had gradually steered her back to the subject, I just didn't want to alarm her by being too confrontational and discarding her change of subject. Seems it was just my bad luck that you saw something in it that prompted your suspicion. Secondly, I went to great lengths to explain how I wasn't that person because I am not that person, and I wanted to justify myself to someone I felt was on my side. It was an act born of frustration rather than deception, but it would seem my anger worked against me. Rest assured Vanessa has no means of manipulating me."In regards to the lies... Well, that's a complex one Yotsu-san. I'm comfortable to tell you about Diedrik, but not about who is underneath. Do keep in mind that I've known you for the full length of an afternoon and breakfast, so I'm not about to tell you about my other self or the reasons for having a second identity. I have been Diedrik a long time though, long enough that I consider this a second face of sorts, just as genuine as what is beneath. Any history that I have shared you can safely assume to be false, that's simply necessary for a different identity, but aside from that I have been completely honest with you. I have no ulterior motives for this expedition, spelljamming is just my line of work, and once it is done I'll resume my meanderings through space and get hired for other expeditions. I, Diedrik, am quite real, I just happen to be the alternative existance of someone else. "I am always as honest as I can be, and you're probably the person most deserving of that honesty on this vessel. If you actually desire to know anything about my other self or reasons then you're not going to find it out as the security officer, those are things you can only access through earning my friendship and trust, and no small amount of them either. I'm not just assuming you want to know, I just happen to respect you enough to make it clear that the option is there. Yotsu-san, there is no means by which I can prove the truth of what I've said, whether you accept it is up to you. Is there anything else you want to know?"[/sblock]</blockquote>
