Private - Lua:

[vampish_aleera]

You have not been wholly truthful with me.

[vampish_aleera]

But he did not... You have problems with truth-telling, Lua.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

[ Trap sprung. ] You needed to hear it from someone you could trust.

[vampish_aleera]

But you refused to... This is what matters.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Why?

[vampish_aleera]

Because I am your guide. Because we agreed there would be efforts to trust.

Because it was not his responsibility - it was yours.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Thought you knew you couldn't.

[vampish_aleera]

Could not what?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Trust me.

[vampish_aleera]

And I thought you agreed to help me try...

[ She makes a quiet noise like "what no". In all fairness, she doesn't remember this happening. ]

[vampish_aleera]

Tell me... What would you do, were our positions reversed?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't be in it. [ More truth. ]

[vampish_aleera]

This was not my question.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...find someone who'd listen to me.

[vampish_aleera]

I would listen to you.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

But you already did it.

[vampish_aleera]

Why did you do it, Lua?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

I did it. Why doesn't matter.

[vampish_aleera]

It matters because I must decide on best how to discipline you...

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Then why do you think I did it?

[vampish_aleera]

I always preferred my teachers to let me tell them of my motivations... I offer you this opportunity now.

I suggest it be taken.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

If I don't? [ No challenge here. ]

[vampish_aleera]

I will have no choice but to make assumptions. Is that what you wish?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

[ It can't get worse. She takes a deep breath, but still takes a few moments to start speaking. ] I hate him.

[ This, too, is true, if not the reason. ]

[vampish_aleera]

It must have been a great hatred for you to have harmed him so... What caused this?
