...For all its faults and curses and miseries, the City really is a beautiful place, isn't it?

It's a lovely night for riding, I think.

I'll be all right, I think. I don't plan on going anywhere treacherous tonight, just up to the fountain.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

You're going to look in the fountain?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought to look, actually. I was just going to visit it for a bit. Though, now that you mention it, I suppose I might have a look as well...after all, it couldn't hurt, could it?

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

It could, though. Sometimes it lies, right?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I've heard that it's not to be trusted, no. Which is a shame, really, since it'd be nice to have an easy way to look between the worlds. Too nice, really, and likely that's why it lies.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Isn't it better not to know at all, than to know lies?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I suppose it depends on whether or not you're aware that they're lies. Sometimes by hearing a lie and knowing it's a lie, you can indirectly learn the truth.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Yes, but all you'll learn is that someone is a liar.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that's a very valuable thing to know.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

It isn't. Liars don't always lie.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

No, but you'll know they're capable of it. And as small as that may be, and petty, and seemingly inconsequential...it might be important, someday.

Of course, everyone lies, sooner or later. Sometimes it can't be helped. So maybe it's not so valuable, after all.

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Everyone lies. There's always a time when we know we just can't afford the truth.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Do you think a lie of omission is still a lie?

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Even if it's meant to protect someone?

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

A lie is a lie, regardless of motive.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps it is better to not know at all. If everyone is a liar, then there's really nothing to be learned from lies, is there?

[miss-waldorf.livejournal.com]

But we don't always lie.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And then, of course, that raises the question of how to tell when someone is lying and when they aren't.
