It is... very lucky that most here seem trustworthy.

[countermeasures]

...it is.

[but, while she's happy about that - she can't help but wonder if it's just that they seem that way, or that they are.]

[allomantic]

[tilting her head...]

You have misgivings?

[countermeasures]

...the people who wronged me the most in Daxing were the people I trusted more than anyone.

[she gives a light shrug]

But... I wasn't as observant then as I am now. I'd like to think that they seem trustworthy because they are, and not simply because they're good actors.

[allomantic]

[after a moment, she nods.]

Your family... I remember. [...] I would like to think the people here can be trusted, too. But it is difficult to know until we reach a point where they are put to the test.

[countermeasures]

Yes... although I would hope that it does not reach a point where they are.

[allomantic]

...I trust this place even less than I trust the people in it.

[countermeasures]

...

[she nods]

Given that this place has ways of making us feel or act differently than we would otherwise... that's a very wise mistrust to have.
