"I believe it will be worth the time as well, and I'm glad for the vote of confidence." He replied warmly.

Edwin's smile faded and he remained silent for several moments once Veta had finished speaking, glancing down towards the floor for a moment and furrowing his brow. She was right; It was much easier than talking about what you didn't like. 

In fact, come to think of it, he couldn't easily remember what he didn't like; He never gave much thought to what he didn't like, it was quite unusual to be asked what he didn't like.

"I can agree with you. I don't like liars either and- they get people hurt." He said quietly, pausing for a moment again before continuing in a slightly louder voice. "People who are too submissive; By that I mean, there's a difference between loyalty or compromise and being blind and spineless. People should stand up for themselves and their beliefs, as is reasonable. There was this noble who used to visit us, an old friend of my father. You would think he had no opinions of his own- in fact I am not even sure he had any thoughts of his own. He was so easily convinced of anything; His opinions would be the opinions of the last person he spoke with, like a parrot."

He paused for a moment, giving a weak smile as he thought about the old noble. What had his name been? Sir Steven or something of the sort? The old man switched opinions between every visit; Once, he changed his opinion on the matter of Celtic-Britannian relations overnight. One day he was saying how set he was on good terms with the Celts, and the next day he was suggesting that Britannia might one day invade.

"I hate being in high places, or rather I'm always afraid I'll fall from them; Until I was about 12, I used to sleep in one of the towers of the keep in Jerusalem and just looking over the railing from the balcony had me sweating, worrying that a sudden gust of wind might blow me over the edge. Irrational, I know, but I could never quite shake the feeling."

"I cant stand chaos either or disorganisation; I like things to be as they should. Order is important, I mean, imagine if all the pages in a book were organised randomly; it'd be a nightmare to read. If you keep things organised then you can always find them when you need them." Edwin smiled again, somewhat nervously; He was hoping that Veta wasn't an extremely disorganised person. That would make a marriage a lot more frustrating. She didn't seem to be but first impressions can always be deceiving.
