Parting

After a long pause, Silverlight said slowly, "Xiao Lin, you are special. You are different."

"Uh, if you are thinking about discussing philosophy, I think you might have found the wrong person."

"No, your specialty lies not in philosophy or in your intuition. You are different. I probably told you before that we royal family members have special abilities in our mind's eye. One of my special abilities is Truth. I can see anybody's truth, but you are the only one who I am not able to glean. I was very surprised when I first met you. I never expected to be able to meet such a person again."

Uh fine, fine, I'll stop joking. So tell me, who was this other person whose truth you weren't able to see through?"
