   Summary

   Twilight has an interesting relationship with deception.

   He would blame his Father, but in reality he knows that no sort of family strife could create the type of relationship he has with the truth.

   He was born this way.

   Reinforced by the iron blood of war that still leaves a sour taste in his mouth.

   Smile

   Lie

   Repeat

   Then he meets Yor Briar at a Tailor shop. Being married to her is manageable. Kissing her would just be like kissing all of the other women - for the sake of peace.

   Smile.

   Lie.

   Repeat.

   Alt summary: Twilight isn't in love. And whatever Yor feels for him, she feels it for a man who doesn't exist. A story of coming to terms with your own vunerability, a rematch between old enemies, and the very specific panic of being jealous of your own cover story.
