Yeah, a little bit. But everyone lies, and you probably thought I wouldn't tell you if you didn't ask, right? Or something like that. You had a reason.
[and jae-ha doesn't see why he needs to pry for that reason.]
But you apologized, so it's fine - just don't do it again over something so small. Try and trust me a little bit more.
[ everyone lies. Varian most of all, by now. He looks away for a second. ]
I do! I do. It wasn't about that.
[ and speaking of lies-- he isn't even sure this one falls on. he wants to trust jae-ha. he does. that should count for something, shouldn't it? even if he can't tell him the truth. or anyone. ]

... it's okay if you don't trust me completely. It's hard here. I get that.
If I need to earn it, that's okay too. I don't mind.
You don't need to feel bad for whatever it is that you feel.

Okay, be honest with me. Are you a mind reader?
[ he is trying to lighten the mood a little ]
no subject
Ah, was I right?
No - I've just had time to watch people. You'll get better at it as you get older.
