“Consequences that I don’t want to find out about either. I have said to much as it is.” He said, hoping that she would drop it and move on to something else. While he did lie, he knew what the consequences were if the truth was told or found out, to say otherwise would give more information then he wanted her to know at this point.

“Consequences don’t always have to be negative, but you seem to be concerned about negative ones simply from us talking. I only mentioned that I was very observant.” She leaned forward ever so slightly. “Don’t forget, I worked at the Tantalus Penal Colony. This isn’t my first show, Celador. Now, you brought up consequences, why be evasive now?” It was easy for people to see Ayla, hear her melodic voice and determine she was the soft type of counsellor who only wanted people to be happy and coexist in contentment. But they very quickly learned that not only was she no push over, but she wasn’t easily fooled. He was saying to her to protect himself . It might not be today, but she was going to find out. It was only a matter of time.

“Because,” He said solemnly, “Some things are better left for dead.” his voice was flat, unemotional, almost robotic.

“Always?” Ayla asked simply. “After all, isn’t there a saying about the truth always coming out in the end?” These sorts of conversations were always played out as intricate games of strategy. Advance, retreat, steal, give a piece away- she knew all the moves. It was navigating the game people inevitably wanted to play that determined whether or not there was a useful outcome. She herself might dislike it when people played games, but she knew how to engage in them and rather hated to lose. Losing these sorts of games had consequences people weren’t prepared for had she’d rather not. He was right about consequences being things to sometimes avoid, but as often happened, they had a very different sense of what the consequences before them actually were.
