155th Devotion: Being an Honest Man

[favoritetraitor]

[Video]
[Solomon's hand withdraws from activating his network device and he gives whatever audience he has a hesitant smile.]

My brother wishes for me to make new friends. It isn't as if I haven't made any in the past, I've had some very good ones. It's just that they leave so quickly...

Still, I suppose I should get back into the practice of it, and it is what Nathan wishes. So would anyone care to join me for some tea and conversation?


[ooc: Solomon has the joy of being cursed with 'I Cannot Tell a Lie'. What better way to start or discourage a friendship than with open disclosure?]

Comments

[mortemscintilla]

[ He'd sympathize. If he saw any practical use in making friends. Mostly he prefers the terms tools and assets. ]

Never too late to try again, isn't that what they say?

[favoritetraitor]

Well, it's something that Nathan wishes, so I'm obliged to try.

[mortemscintilla]

Does Mister Nathan usually ask you to do these sorts of things?

[favoritetraitor]

... not really, no.

[mortemscintilla]

Then I'm guessing he must be really worried about the ... bad influence.

[favoritetraitor]

I believe he's overreacting. Either that, or there's something he's not telling me.

[mortemscintilla]

Something he's not telling you?

Like what?

[favoritetraitor]

I'm not certain. Nathan's thoughts are his own unless he wishes to share it with me.

[mortemscintilla]

But you go along with what he says anyway?

[ He sounds more bemused than judgemental. ]

[favoritetraitor]

He's family. [As if this explains it all.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Actually, it does. You haven't seen Hei around his little sister. ]

Point. Family always trumps other peoples' opinions. Especially when they're all you have here.
