You don't think that revealing all your thoughts and being unable to lie makes you a little vulnerable?

[amain]

I think it’s more that I don’t have much to hide. My life isn’t that complicated.

[ He is a peasant. ]

The hardest lie I usually have to consider was breaking the news to people that hired me.

[shaft]

If you carry a weapon that dangerous, I have a hard time believing that your life isn't complicated.

[amain]

My life is only as complicated as my employers make it.

[shaft]

Perhaps. Though I think our lives and experiences are too different for me to really imagine such a thing.

[amain]

It would be impossible for Nobleman Claude von Riegan to imagine a life of a simple mercenary.

[ A joke. ]

... It must be hard on you if you have to wrap yourself in secrecy.

[shaft]

On the contrary, it's not keeping my secrets that seems impossible.

But to answer one of your questions, my favourite past time is probably going on rides with her. [ He gestures at the wyvern. ] It's a shame she's too little for it now.

[amain]

It still sounds like a tough life if that's supposed to be normal.

[ To clarify what he meant, but he is but simple boy that is like "i don't want to lie unless i have to." Anyway... Wyvern... Oh. ]

She was bigger? That's disappointing. At least she's still cute.

[shaft]

Much bigger. She's cute no matter what size she is though.

[ He reaches out to pet her too! But also grab Nier's hand, I guess. ]

[amain]

You two childhood fri—

[ Nier stops in his sentence when Claude grabs his hand. Going to… Stare at him. ]

[shaft]

[ Claude also stares. That's different.

But doesn't let go. Oh well. ]

[amain]

… It’s this place, right?

[ Nier sighs and goes ahead to hold Claude’s hand properly. ]

[shaft]

It's less embarrassing than biting someone.

[ Grins at him. ]

Or am I flustering you?

[amain]

Last week was ridiculous.

[ Why are you grinning at him. He raises an eyebrow as he pets wyvern more. ]

No, you’re fine. I was just surprised.

[shaft]

Did you end up revealing too much?

And to think that you were arguing against secrets.

[ They're just here... Petting the wyvern and holding hands. ]

[amain]

I wouldn’t put it that way? Instead… I learned more about myself than I ever asked for.

[ Are… Are those still secrets? They really are holding hands and petting a wyvern, but Nier is like “friends do this.” ]

[shaft]

That you're no exception to carnal desires?

[ lol ]

[amain]

... They're carnal?

[ oh. ]

[shaft]

Do you not recognize the word?

[amain]

I do.

[ He looks at Claude as if trying to figure something out, then looks back to wyvern, then back to Claude. ]

... There must be a mistake here.

[shaft]

[ Is this going to be insulting? ]

How so?

[amain]

[ No, just normal stuff. ]

Sorry. I don't see why I'd be attracted to you like that.

[shaft]

[ He doesn't really want to argue his case here. That seems kind of pathetic. ]

Well sometimes... it's what inside that matters.

[amain]

[ ... HELLO? Nier... Starts laughing. ]

[shaft]

[ THIS IS SO RUDE? ]
