"Teya, lying is not a good thing," Dwin said it solemnly. After all this had been one of the first lessons adults had taught kids and even the rambunctious Dwin, who had at times a very open relationship with law and order, had some moral laws she did not break. Being dishonest to other people - whether they were big or small things - was one of them. She had learned early on that even at times of trouble it was a lot easier to go through it, if you recounted the events and motivations the way they had actually been. This did not mean that she had never done it or even felt temptation to do it - she had been a kid after all. But another important thing in that Blackthorn code of honor (her invention) was that you had to be brave. Even, when you had to face mischief you had caused. 

"How are they going to trust me again, if they later find out that I have been lying?" she asked almost rhetorically. "On the other hand..." her expression became thoughtful. "Telling a cautionary tale about the Big Fish would not be technically a lie, would it? Because Big fish live there and I have seen them eat a bird the size of your kids. What do you think?"
