How do you trust a liar?

Is that a trick question>

[dealing_death]

That question makes very little sense.

[takinglives]

It can be anything you want it to be.

[onthe_threshold]

Well. To answer seriously? I always know when they're lying, so it doesn't matter.

[takinglives]

Depends on how you look at the question.

[legacy_of_blood]

You do not.

[dealing_death]

Trusting a liar is that possible?

[takinglives]

Always? Quite the talent. How does that go for you when a man believes everything he has created in the lie. In short: The lie for him becomes the truth.

[onthe_threshold]

Telepathy.

Ah, yes it's a bit more difficult if it's delusion.

[takinglives]

You tell me.

[takinglives]

Why not?

[sammmy]

Trust then verify.

[pretty_poison]

Depends if they are lying to you... or for you.

[takinglives]

Not so much a talent then; still an interesting way to trawl through muck.

[Snorts.] Delusion---or a safety net.

[legacy_of_blood]

If they are willing to deceive you once, they will do it again.

[onthe_threshold]

No, not so much.

Same thing.

[dealing_death]

How can you trust someone who can look you in the eyes and lie? You can't.

[loveof_words]

By bein' very tristing errin' on the side o' naive.

[takinglives]

You expect a deceiver to give honesty?

[takinglives]

And would either one be acceptable?

[takinglives]

You don’t think that could lead to hurt?

[takinglives]

Given you would know of either, would you still trust them?

[onthe_threshold]

With what?

[loveof_words]

Och, aye. Trust usually leads t'hurt in one way or another in my experience. But hurt... s'part o' bein' human an' livin' y'life.

[takinglives]

Is it better than the one who would spare your feelings and speak only of truth?
