So I was wondering just how "honest" Joseph should be with Alexi, until I realized he doesn't have a choice. Even with soft breaking, he has to follow an order, and that was intended as a request, but phrased enough as an order that there's really no way for him to avoid it. To make things quick and easy, I'm going to decide that it interprets into complete honesty, even though if he had not said those "magic words," Joseph might have held something back. His thoughts are rather... more rebellious than Alexi expects, I think. Though he would still never betray the Vandros family or try to run away.

Valid question though. There were some pretty subtle hints in Mois' thoughts about a potential romance between him and Joseph. Was I interpreting those right, and if so, is that something you want to happen? I have trouble seeing it working, but I'm willing to work on the idea.
