Caedus took a deep sigh, making a mental note to hunt down Tenel Ka and brutally demonstrate why a sniveling Queen Mother of Hapes should avoid angering the Dark Lord of the Sith. Her fingerprints were all over this conversation, especially since he knew she had never met Tenel Ka before today, at least. Still leaning back in his chair, he chose to continue to answer her honestly and carefully.
"Cordy, I have not lied to you once in the time I've known you. The name I am known by here in Los Angeles is Jason Oslo," Caedus began, ignoring the fact that Jason Oslo was only one of his aliases in LA, and certainly not his corporate one.
"I've told you where I'm from, things about my life, and what I do. All of it true. I have not manipulated you once, I have not used you once. I have not done anything with you besides talk and enjoy your company. I met you the day I came back from the dead, and simply went to a bar, because I did not know of any other way to celebrate. I met you there by chance. I chose to seek you out because I liked you. Think about it, Cordy. When have I asked you for anything related to AI? Never. I have never asked you about anything that could potentially benefit me, or to do anything that would benefit me. Can you honestly say I've been using you?"
