[reconstitution]

I could be.

[ You will never know unless you read his mind. ]

[axiomed]

[ He laughs softly. ]

Well, it can't be helped, I suppose.

[reconstitution]

Lying's something I'm good at.

[axiomed]

[ He blinks because that remark strikes him as odd. ]

How so?

[reconstitution]

It's as much a part of me as anything else.

[ He shrugs. The programming aside, nothing steels your natural ability to lie quite like being tortured. ]

[axiomed]

A lot of your life was founded on lies. That doesn't make you a liar. You are a product of what happened. And it defines you, but it doesn't make you a part of the system.

You've never struck me as a liar.

[reconstitution]

Then I guess I'm doing my job.

[ Thankfully, he doesn't feel like he has to lie too much in the fleet. But lord, is he capable of it. ]

[axiomed]

What is your job?

[reconstitution]

If the mission called for it. Most didn't.

[axiomed]

[ Ah. To his credit, he doesn't look away. ]

Your missions were very detailed.

[reconstitution]

If they needed to be.

[ Most consisted of target details, locations, and orders there there would be no witnesses. As if it needed saying. ]

[axiomed]

What's your mission now, Winter?

[reconstitution]

I don't have one.

[axiomed]

. . . Would you like one?

[reconstitution]

I don't kn-- [ He does know. Jim would be upset with him if he resorted to that again. ]

No.

[axiomed]

[ Softly. ]

Now you're lying.

[reconstitution]

I can't. [ God, part of him still wants to, though. ]

[axiomed]

[ He exhales, a quiet sigh. The drive and the belief, all tangled together until there's no end. Erik lost his memories, so he had the chance to explore a possibility of him being something different.

Winter never got that luxury. ]

You'll break my heart that way.

[reconstitution]

I don't want to do that.

[ Disappointing Charles at this point would be like a blow to the face. ]

[axiomed]

[ He smiles, rueful. ]

I know.

[reconstitution]

[ Cheater. Charles has to know that, too. ]

Hope I didn't completely ruin your afternoon.

[ He motions to Charles' notes and the fluff slugs. ]

[axiomed]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Not at all. I enjoy talking with you. And I'm glad you're comfortable enough with me to do it.

[reconstitution]

[ Well, he's a super downer, so you can't blame him for assuming. ]

I like talking with you, too.

[axiomed]

[ He smiles. ]

Then we're on the same page.

[reconstitution]

I'll let you get back to it. [ A pause. ] Do you need anything?
