Lilith was unmoved, and unstartled as well as unsurprised, by his sudden outburst, his....demand for all things to be made clear. She let him calm down, saying nothing immediately, refusing to be forced into a reply, to make it seem as if she was...rewarding his attitude, his behaviour.

Not that everyone knows, at least. The world was made in lies and secrets...trust me, even in the Garden things were never clear, never openly revealedâ
