His Majesty summoned me out of nowhere and informed me he intended to become known as Thor Stark.

[st_ratagem]

Then yes, I’m deeply amused!

[st_allionofdoom]

He said it was a lie.

As if that weren't obvious from the moment he looked at me with gleeful anticipation.

A practiced lie. He doesn't come up with this sort of thing on his own so I'm left to believe a certain someone put the idea in his head.

[st_ratagem]

He wanted a lesson, so I told him The best lies are always part true, gave him an example, and told him to practice.

Obviously he needs more practice. And probably a lesson on commitment to the bit.

[st_allionofdoom]

Regarding the latter: I pushed his commitment to its limits. Not that it took much.

[st_ratagem]

I should probably have told him to pick a fun lie rather than strive for believable. Sigh.

[st_allionofdoom]

I found this lie extremely fun. If every lie is of this caliber I won’t complain.

[st_ratagem]

I told him to insist he’s a vegetarian! That would have been fun for everyone.

[st_allionofdoom]

That would make our hunting trips awkward.

I believe he's demoralized enough to give up the lying venture altogether.

[st_ratagem]

But hilarious!

Oh well, more for me.

[st_allionofdoom]

Be economic with those falsehoods of yours, Your Highness.

[st_ratagem]

Why would I? People should know better than to believe anything I say already. I see no reason not to enjoy it.

[st_allionofdoom]

If you make a habit of setting up lesser-abled liars to use me as a guinea pig, I will enact vengeance at the source.

[st_ratagem]

How do you know that’s not part of the reason I did it in the first place?

[st_allionofdoom]

Then revenge shall be enacted at an unspecified time, date, and location of my choosing.

[st_ratagem]

I look forward to it with appropriate dread!
