...would it be better if I did lie in this situation?

[wardance]

Why do you ask that?

[sealeted]

You said, "I think I have seen enough to know you won't lie even when it would be better if you did." So I have to wonder.

[wardance]

Probably not here. At least, you especially don't want to pretend you feel something you don't. That's why I'm apologizing in the first place, isn't it?

[sealeted]

We've rambled away from the "first place" so I guess you're right. ...what now? Do we... I mean would you... like to, um...

[wardance]

Yeah, you're right, my bad—

... hm?

[sealeted]

Um, we... our... interests are somewhat in line, but I can't promise you exclusivity so I don't... I don't know what you want to do, or if... exploring this is worth anything to you.

[wardance]

Oh..! Well, no I... I know you can't do exclusive. I... If you're okay with it I mean? I don't want you to feel ... Pressured or anything.

[sealeted]

No, no, if anything I'm the one worried about putting on pressure. Because I can't give you everything you want, I... don't exactly have the right to ask you to stay by my side, if you'll be unhappy. That's the last thing I want.

[wardance]

Well... it's the same, right? I can't give exclusivity if you can't? So, if it's the same, it's not really pressure or being unhappy.
