Caurin, if you had a big secret and you had to tell it to someone you knew but could also only tell it to one person, who would you choose to tell it to?
“Well, I know plenty of people I wouldnt be able to hide a secret like that from, like my dad because of his psionics, or my moirail because of hers so… I guess it’d be one of them, for sure.”
“I mean, I trust my dad with a lot, sure, but I guess it’d depend on the kind of secret it is. If it’s something serious, it’s just a matter of time before he finds out about that kind of thing… And the same thing with my moirail, I guess.”
“But, um… those two notwithstanding, I guess I’d pick someone like Xizaya. They’re able to keep some pretty impressive secrets, and the only reason I know about some of them is because I can hear them sometimes.”
“But he doesn’t know that, and I don’t think I’ll tell him anytime soon. I mean, he’s really, really paranoid as is. I don’t know how it’d affect him to get told ‘hey, yeah, I’ve been in your head for the past however many months we’ve been sort-of-friends.’”
“It’s a friendship-ending-thing at best. He might kill me at worst.”
