To be fair, Julian does take some effort to tailor his message to his audience, and only went so far as, "I'll just tell them directly" while on a world where people talk about magic in terms like "Magic" (I'm not sure if that's translation convention) and having no other explanation of the visions, or opportunity to look into these things. Like on Panogos, Paulis kept showing up, and could simply say, "Oh hey, this is the guy from the train with that logo on his phone."

If these guys are Centrum, Peter doesn't know any bad stuff about them as far as I can remember. The only thing he knows about them is that one of the miracle workers thought they might be better suited to fight one of the plagues they were dealing with.

I dunno... people have been pretty receptive to it when he does mention it.

Peter is currently hardcore succumbing to his impulsiveness and overconfidence. Such an impetuous youth!

You see no reason to trust this statement more than any others... but she also will get a roll against your deception. do you want to use luck?
Peter's deception? To what deception are you referring? Peter hasn't said anything deceptive or misleading.

I'm not sure what roll we are talking about, but if you are asking me if I want to use Luck, I should probably use luck...

He indicated that he was going to go to with her to her base when in private... and then once in public didn't do that.

That's a pretty direct lie. We'll roll luck... and her crit success has been nullified. I'll edit the post.

That's not a lie. He 100% meant it when he said it, but when she gave her word he thought she was lying. That was the point where the decision changed. Perhaps the omission was that he had to believe her response, but I would think that would be an obvious condition.

When you ask someone for their word, the implication is usually that you are willing to trust their word.

If that's not the case and he's not bothering to hide it, then her actions will change back to the original polite parting.

you can choose which route you want to take, let me know here.

I see where you're coming from.

He was testing her and not trying to hide that really.

So she is at three red flags and not four, but he will still go with. His overconfidence is telling him he can handle it if it goes badly.
