Has he ever talked about Rey to you?

[Text]

[mismanagement]

He has. And I know Rey.

[thechoiceisyours]

Got it. One awesome list of supplies at the Guard post coming up.

[Though he should ask--]

Paper list or one on the phones? I actually have readable handwriting, though I know that's a shock to most people.

[Considering he usually does everything on computers. But he really does have decent handwriting when he uses it.]

[Text]

[muscovy]

What did he say?

[He's looking for specific pieces of information, but figures that asking for them directly would be unwise because it might colour the answers.]

[mismanagement]

Paper would be fine for now. [Much as she dislikes doing things this way, Maketh doesn't trust the network. Nearly everything else has been had written, so this will do.] Again, thank you.

[Text]

[mismanagement]

That she is complicated, as are we all.

[He seems to want a certain answer, but Maketh doesn't quite understand the question yet.]

There's something you wish to know?

[Text]

[muscovy]

What did he say about what she is to him and he to her? Did he tell you how long they have known each other?

[Text]

[mismanagement]

[That's a curious thing to ask.]

He said that he trusts her. I do as well. And they met here, in Hadriel. I'm not sure of the exact time, but it would have been less than a year.

[Text]

[muscovy]

[...All right, let's get real.]

You think that he isn't lying about not having known her before coming here, yes?

[Text]

[mismanagement]

[....she didn't expect that.]

They have given me no reason to suspect that.

Why?

[Text]

[muscovy]

Because people lie sometimes, even though they should not because in the end most lies will be found out and you will get into trouble, and even if not the lie will not go away.

[Text]

[mismanagement]

I mean, what makes you think they're lying?

[Text]

[muscovy]

I don't think Rey would lie. She is very reasonable unless it is about her being friends or family with someone.

[Text]

[mismanagement]

But you believe that Nick would?

[Text]

[muscovy]

A lot of people lie, yes? And I do not know very much about him yet. That is why I asked you about him.

[Text]

[mismanagement]

I believe him trustworthy. But then, you do not know me very well, so my word may not mean very much.

[Text]

[muscovy]

But one word is better than none, yes?

[If you ask a number of people and they all say the same, it is likely to be the truth.]

[Text]

[mismanagement]

I suppose it would depend on the question, but -- yes.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, of course.

[He's quiet for just a moment before continuing.]

I just uh... Wish I could help you all out more, I guess? I mean, I'd suck actually being in the Guard, but if there's anything I can do whenever...

[He'd be happy to try.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh pauses, considering that.] I shall keep that in mind. You've been very helpful to me in the past. I have no doubt we'll find our share of trying times.

[thechoiceisyours]

[He smiles a little.]

I'd uh, say that I hope that's not true, but yeah probably.

[It's not like things are peaceful here for long.]

But okay, I'll get on this. One inventory list coming up.

[mismanagement]

[Hope (hah) for the best, prepare for the worst. Maketh, for better or worse, is practical to the extreme.] Thank you, Chris.

Re: [Text]

[muscovy]

If you do not want an answer, you should not ask.

[Text]

[mismanagement]

Perhaps. But you are asking.

[What a strange person.]

I do not think Nick Valentine has cause to lie, no.

[Text]

[muscovy]

And thus all answers are welcome, yes?

I will need to take your measurements, too.
