[Well it was his promotion and probably the recent tower excursion that got the man to even listen to him, even if it went badly. Cain's still not sure if his reputation is irreparbly damaged, but he didn't have much choice other than to continue.
Still, he was considering Barok's words with a bit of confusion.]
But that's not how that's supposed to work...I mean, when I was with the knights, we always worked hard to ensure the trust of the people we protected. Lying to put up an image would just make that worse when they found out.
[He also was from a country where people were always fairly straightforward compared to others, so in some ways it really didn't make any sense. Though..he can see it being a possiblity.]
You're right that the Lord Enma doesn't seem that type of man, though. But if we continue to let other comrades of ours bend the rules whatever way they can to keep order, then it reflects on everyone. Same with his absence in public spaces.
[Though, he looked up again at where Barok's voice was at the speaking of truth. His commitment was genuine and Cain could only admire it, even if it seemed a bit harsh at times.]
And...I suppose you're right in not keeping secrets from people even if it hurts them, but sometimes it protects people. I just don't want this department to sink into some depraved version of justice.
