Harlan kicks lightly at the ground. He doesn't want to be left out here after dark, but he's not ready to go home, either. Whatever truth spell has gotten into them is a comforting bubble he doesn't want to burst.]

Look, if you want to put up a front with other people, that's your business. But if we're gonna hang out, don't pull that on me. Okay?
