[It is not just a matter of comfort and preference that makes Liem keep private the truth of what he is. Since he was very small, he had been conditioned strictly by the human priesthood that included all his teachers and guardians; undesirable traits were to be erased or, at the very least, hidden. He was made palatable for those who taught him and learned alongside him, in whatever ways were deemed necessary. And, when he was released into the wider world, he was sent out with the expectation that the lessons he’d learned as a boy would not be forgotten.
It would be unacceptable for him to tarnish his temple’s good name by dragging it down to his level, when the Cathedral of Coins had invested so much in raising him up.]
That won’t necessarily be the case here.
[Liem continues to stare up at D, his expression unreadable behind his darkened lenses.]
