[He considers the question seriously, hands folded into the billowing hems of his sleeves.]
I suppose the time and place I come from has made me distrustful. When three parties can work together decently and one refuses to afford the rest even basic transparency, it's hard not to think they're hiding something to use against us.
[He pauses to think. What is the madam thinking? Which side of him should he show to her? He'll never know, so as he did with Li Shimin, Yizhi picks the angle he feels the best about and goes for it. His response is not heart-on-his-sleeve, but it's a measured sort of honesty.]
From what I've seen of how the four factions interact, we're not friends, though neither are we enemies at the moment. So I've been weirded out by the kappa's secrecy. [As have a whole bunch of other people, but he opts not to deflect the attention to those not in the room right now.] If I'm mistaken, I would be honoured to be given guidance. Would you consider the kappa's behaviour suspicious? Have they done this before?
