Summary
Truthless Recluse cared little for being honest. Why would he? No matter how his professor tried to postulate otherwise, the truth was a source of bitter hurt for every ear it fell upon. So cheating on an exam gave him no moral quandaries. The plan was simple- Take his exam, skim the correct answers from the Sage of Truth's mind as he graded the exams of his peers, and leave all the more smug for lying to the Truthsayer.
His plan didn't account for the Sage thinking of something far more licentious than the answer key.

Summary
The Sage of Truth had many students over his innumerable years of teaching, and he'd be willing to admit that there were some he liked more than others. It wasn't until Truthless Recluse appeared on his roster that he realized just how much space a single pupil could take up in his thoughts. Purely out of circumstance, of course, with his cool indifference and continual chance encounters.
Right?
(Or, five times Sage thought he wasn't obsessed with Recluse, and the one time he realized he was)

Summary
“There’s children in your audiences,” The Recluse frowns deeply, mournfully. His large hat casts a deep shadow over an equally forlorn gaze. “Many are unprepared to face the despair that the Truth holds. If I cannot convince you from your cruelty, then I can at least protect innocent cookies from its uncaring wrath.”
“Cruelty? Wrath?” The Sage blinks rapidly, before his face lights up in unabashed delight. His grin is wide, too wide– Unsettling. Uncomfortable. “Whatever happened to your gentle lies, Recluse?”

this was so sweet! a very good internal view of recluse's struggles. loved the line "he thinks, once again, that maybe he will never truly be alright" for it to finish that living is still worth the effort because of sage

The Sage of Truth is late for his daily visit.
Truthless Recluse is totally not bothered by this one bit. Nope. Not at all.
