[neat

soo-won's just going to turn to goat with a smile]

Do you have anywhere you'd like to go today?

[retellers]

Not in particular...?

[recrowns]

Hmm...

Then can you transport us to the Northern area? Let's walk around, or maybe go on a horse!

[retellers]

All right.

[ he opens up a pathway in space. off they go to the northern area! ]

[recrowns]

Off they go!

[soo-won's going to guide them in the direction to go steal one of the horses hanging out

and then - ]

.... so it seems like we'll be down to the three of us next week.

[retellers]

[ once he confirms they're alone, he removes his mask. he doesn't look surprised at soo-won's comment, at least; no other reason for soo-won to call for him today, really. ] ... So it seems.

[recrowns]

You're very good at lying to me.

[well.

at least he doesn't sound mad.]

[retellers]

[ ... wow he's conveniently not looking at soo-won! that sure is a neat bird flying by. ]

[recrowns]

[okay now he's pouting]

Do you still not trust me....?

[retellers]

You would've worried about me. Pointlessly.

[recrowns]

Is it still pointless, Goat? Is it?

[retellers]

No one came after me. So it's fine.

[recrowns]

And if they did, then you would let me be taken by surprise and discover it the same as everyone else come Friday?

[retellers]

[ bluntly, ] Yes.

[recrowns]

So you would rather have me suffer surprise, instead of worry.

[goat please]

[retellers]

Yes, because I was right and nothing came to pass.

[recrowns]

.... stubborn old goat....

[retellers]

[ goat gives him a look. ] You, of all people, saying that about this...?

[recrowns]

Unless there's something that you've neglected to mention to me, I don't think my life is in immediate danger...?

[retellers]

No, but you yourself are the sort to keep secrets so that others don't worry, and instead let them be surprised.

[recrowns]

.... but I can't hide anything from you.

[can't argue the rest of it tho]

[retellers]

It is not as though I pay attention to everything you do... though that is besides the point.

[recrowns]

I'd rather not take a chance on which of my conversations you may or may not pay mind to....

[ . . . . but. fine. not the point. he sighs.]

But you might be in danger next week, and now I know, and I'm worried.

[he'll just say it.]

[retellers]

[ ... all this is telling goat is that he clearly should've kept lying? ]

[recrowns]

What would it take, then, for you to stop lying to me?

Because the truth became apparent regardless.
