The latter.

[strove]

That seems like one of your lies, but I'll let it slide, since you just took a lot of work off my hands.

[kleptocratic]

They do work better when you tell people what they want to hear.

And I suspect someone who grew up as the cousin of a queen cares more about where he lives, so you get your way, too.

[kleptocratic]

Do I act like a prince?

[strove]

No, but I never know when you're going to decide to be terribly picky.

And you did steal rather nice blankets in New Tokyo.

[kleptocratic]

I can't deny it.

[strove]

I didn't expect that you could.

[kleptocratic]

Oh, I could. That was a lie.

But I didn't because it's accurate. I didn't keep the blankets though.

"I can't deny it" doesn't really stand as a lie, since even if you did, I'd know you were wasting your efforts.

But thanks for clarifying just the same, Gen. I'm glad I'm aware.
