[TM: Trust]
May. 4th, 2005 08:56 amI once told my sister Erin that I don’t trust anyone. I’m still not sure whether I was telling the truth or not.
See, we were talkin’ about my boss, Gunther. He’d turned me into the laws, and Erin was telling me that I couldn’t trust him. Which is fair enough, but I found out afterwards he did it because he thought it would save my ass.
So I guess he was looking out for me, in his own way. He’s good people, Gunther, even if he is a fish. He’s not the sentimental sort, but he does watch my back, kinda. Even if he can be a little creepy sometimes, he’s not that bad. He’d not deliberately set me up.
Which brings me back to the trust thing. See, while it’s dangerous to trust anyone completely in this world, sometimes you gotta realise that you can trust one or two people more than most.
Did I trust Urkonn? The demon who acted as my watcher and killed a five year old girl to get me to work for him? Not really, no more than I trust most people. I didn’t leave her in his care or anything. She just turned up and I wasn’t there to help her.
But Gunther? I know Gunther. I reckon I have a good idea what goes on in his head nowadays, and I know he tries to do what’s right in his spun head. I guess that means I do trust him, really.
And Erin. ‘Cause you hafta don’t you? Trust family. We’re trying to rebuild our relationship: we were never that close growing up but now we’re all we each have. It’s something that happens when sisters band together to stop their brother destroying the world: they get closer. Trust’s a big part of that.
So I guess I wasn’t tellin’ the truth really. I was angry and stressed and blurted it out. Maybe I wouldn’t trust anyone to the end of the Earth or anything, but simple, day-to-day trusting of people you know and care about, that I can do.
