"I'm sorry that you felt the need to lie to me about something like… this."
Wut?
Did I unknowingly gaslight this wanker?
This is just wow.
"Don't be."
I have no idea why he would feel apologetic for MY actions.
"I'm still sorry."
"I said, don't be," my tone came out sterner than I was intending it to be.
I mean, my reason for lying wasn't something like I was scared of what Azell would do. No, not at all.
In fact, if we're talking about lying, I had absolutely no need to lie. All I needed to do was to make a second Elixir and present it.
I also could have claimed that I had only prepared the concept and needed a bit more time to produce an actual Elixir.
Wait, that second one was a lie.
Anyway, the point is I had countless other ways of avoiding making the particular lie I just did.
However, the reason I used this lie was to teach Neia a lesson.
