Cinnabar nods agreeably, "More than fair. You've been both patient, and forthcoming." Well. Somewhat forthcoming. And perhaps more so in some matters than she'd intended, but... well. Not her fault. But the question, the actual question, only broadens his grin.
"The short answer? I do not. Or at least, not entirely." He waves a hand as if to dismiss any thought that he might be so gauche as to call her a liar.
"I will endeavour to verify all that you have told me, because you understand it would be foolish to rely upon a single source of information in these matters. No one person ever sees the entirety of a thing, but only what can be seen from where they stand, so it is only sensible to gather one's facts from several different sources, with different viewpoints." He allows a moment for her to consider this before continuing.
"You have certainly omitted parts, some accidentally, and some deliberately; I would guess that the deliberate omissions are because they involve things which are neither relevant to the subject at hand, nor... appropriate to share with someone you still do not know as well as you might. I can understand that, and respect your desires in this.
"I do not doubt that for the greater part you have told me what you believe to be the truth, as you saw it, and as you remember it. You are a spectacularly incompetent liar, Ariane." Another grin, to lessen the barb. "Which is to say, from all I have seen of you, it is not really in your nature to deceive. You're not much good at it. You blush, you look away, you hide behind your hair. You are aware of this, so you avoid outright deceit when you can, in favour of attempting to divert the conversation away from dangerous topics. Distraction, hm?"
His grin fades slowly as he speaks, though his gaze remains steady upon the swordswoman.
"Also, perhaps in some ways I frighten you a little. This is very much against my intention, I assure you - I have scant desire to be feared, certainly not by people I like - but it does mean that the thought of my catching you in a lie makes you nervous. So you try to avoid doing so, and the easiest way to do that is to simply tell the truth."
Pale brows raise inquiringly.
"Does that answer your question?"
