[ecks]

[She will, that's the sad part.]

What other kinds of things do you want?

[devoutish]

Difficult to say. I'll consider anything that might come in handy. But that's good for you, yeah? It gives you a wide variety of things I'll trade for.

[ecks]

I will tell you the things I find as I find them. Do not tear up the cats.

[devoutish]

Cross my heart.

[ecks]

But not your fingers.

[devoutish]

Why would I cross my fingers?

[ecks]

You would cross your fingers so you could lie.

[devoutish]

Ecks, someone doesn't need to cross their fingers to lie to you.

[ecks]

I know. I mean literally do not cross your fingers and I mean also do not lie because that is what crossing your fingers means.

[devoutish]

[He turns on the video and holds up his hands, fingers spread wide.]

[ecks]

[That is more like it.]

Accepted.

What does crossing your heart mean and how is it done?

[devoutish]

It's an expression. It means "I promise".

[ecks]

Can you lie when you promise?

[devoutish]

You can always lie. But there are consequences.

[ecks]

That is accurate if you are caught lying.

[devoutish]

If you lied, do you think I would catch you?

[ecks]

I do not lie. I was never taught how to lie.

[devoutish]

And what if you taught yourself?

[ecks]

I do not know how to teach myself things I do not know how to do.

[That's three lies in a row, more or less. She'll just wait to see if he does catch them.]

[devoutish]

[Not yet, Ecks! Keep going!]

You can think for yourself, can't you?

[He knows she's big on that, at least.]

[ecks]

Yes, I can think for myself. That is how I am a person.

[devoutish]

Then surely you can figure out how to learn for yourself. It's not a much bigger step.

[ecks]

That is probably true but I do not know what things to learn.

WHOOPS I missed this comment, I'm sorry!

[devoutish]

You must have interests. Things that you know would be useful. Focus on those.

[ecks]

I think it would be useful to know how to lie.

[She is having a grand old time over here.]
