Comments

[parricida]

My dear, please. We're only as uninteresting as we feel, hm?

[treasureling]

[ At these words, Malak has a flash of insight. Dubious insight, but it makes sense; he wonders, suddenly, if for Garak performance isn't submission to an outside purpose but another way to gather power. Have the audience in his thrall.

He sits up a little, chewing this over, brows knit. ]

[parricida]

[In return, he tips his head, one ridge raising slightly.]

Are you all right?

[treasureling]

Fine.

Just thinking.

It might not be the worst choice to accept being interesting, would it?

[parricida]

Far better to be interesting instead of boring-- especially here, hm?

[He tips his head again, a slight smile on his face.]

Besides, there's no harm in playing the game-- so long as you're aware of what you're doing.

[treasureling]

And you're aware. Obviously.

[parricida]

I'd like to think I am.

[He tips his head again.]

Would you prefer being angry all the time, rebelling pointlessly and being punished for it?

[treasureling]

I don't like being angry.

[ Just sometimes he can't help it. ]

[parricida]

Hence the other option, dear.

[treasureling]

But I think you're a liar if you say you're not angry at all.

[parricida]

Is there something wrong with being a liar?

[treasureling]

[ A blink. ]

Isn't there?

[parricida]

Hardly. A good liar is something to be valued.

[treasureling]

Why?

[parricida]

Why not? Can you think of no situation that might be improved with a lie or two?

[treasureling]

I can think of more that would be improved with truths.

[parricida]

Well, you are the one who told me your life story within a moment of meeting me.

[Teasing!]

Ah, well, perhaps I can yet convince you.

[treasureling]

[ A little glare, but it's not very serious. ]

Convince me with lies, or with truths?
