[ oh, so i wasn't being goaded. you just PERSONALLY HAD DOUBTS. GREED JUST TOOK HIS REPORT? Wow. Well, not like he wanted it back. still... greed took it... ]
Sometimes it doesn't seem like it, but I can do things properly when I want to.
Curious. [because as far as he can tell, gojou really asks questions to satisfy his own whims and questions a lot of the time which is fine.] And pragmatic.
[this is unfortunately the conversation it really sinks in that gojou and mahito are actually two sides of the same cursed coin, which is why he doesn't say anything again.]
What reason would you have for lying? I have enough self-confidence where most things bounce off and there’s not much I can offer you if it’s intended to be flattery.
[ He’s thinking. ]
The only thing I got is that you’re a person and people lie. Pretty flimsy.
So it seems. [if there's more to it than that it isn't necessary to say.] Though you're right, lying would hardly benefit me at this point. So I suppose my judgment is subject to change.
[there's a wordless nod because yeah, him too. really unsure how his opinion will change here but it'll be a surprise for everybody. the peck doesn't go unnoticed but it goes unmentioned.]
You should. [not even rudely, just in general. they both have things to do and people to see, but he's going to hang out in the field for a while longer.] I'll see you again some other time.

[ So, yeah, even if it doesn't seem worth it... He'll do it if he wants to do it. They've seen that just earlier. ]
... I'll still do something that I think is right at least, even if it's a pain.

In that regard, sloth makes sense. [that seems to be his only comment even if it isn't his only thought.]

I think the truth is the most interesting answer.

Anyway, I should get going.
