[ oof, that's loaded. Reno's expression turns thoughtful as he considers it—he's told a lot of lies, for a lot of reasons. many of them he wasn't proud of at the time, even if they were necessary, and many more he was proud of at the time but has stopped being proud of in the intervening years. ]
Tough one.
[ the closest Reno can get are the small mercies, if they can even be called that. lies like "it's going to be okay" or "you won't even feel it." like "don't worry, I'm not here for you." these were all lies to their core, but ones that maybe grant someone an instant of peace before—
but he ain't about to tell Joshua all of that. ]
Think I'm gonna have to take the vinegar on this one.
[ Reno knocks back the rest of his drink. it might not be vinegar, but it sure does burn going down. ]
