[colour=gold]“Heh, you’re not that smart, you did bring a criminal into your home after all, what would your parents think?”[/colour] Silk said jokingly as she followed Matthew to the table, taking a seat opposite him. She took some soup but left the meat alone. She smiled to herself and shrugged at his question. [colour=gold]“Noticed that huh? Kind of guessed you would, being so observant and all. And you’re not wrong. Not exactly. But as a general rule? No I don’t trust people. I've been stung too many times, if you get my drift. You could drop to your hands and knees and swear undying fealty to me and I still wouldn't completely trust you. That’s what a life of crime will do to you, so don't take it personally, okay?”[/colour] Silk said in a cheerful, nonchalant tone. She blew on the soup to cool it down a little. She added some salt to the soup and stirred in it. [colour=gold]“For example, even though I left my sword by the door, I took a knife from the kitchen. Just in case. Or did I? Maybe I'm not telling the truth. Who knows, maybe you poisoned me, maybe I poisoned you. The point is I have to think like that, all the time,”[/colour] Silk carried on in that same nonchalant tone as she stirred the soup absent-mindedly with her spoon. She looked at Matthew with a serious expression for a moment before a smile found its way to her lips. [colour=gold]“Thank you for the food!”[/colour] she said before taking a sip of the soup. [colour=gold]"Hmm, that is good, you're a great cook."[/colour]
