I appreciate how much trust you've put in me so far. I know how much it is to ask, when I look the way that I do, now...but I also promise that it won't be like this for much longer. Just bear with me...for another week, and then I'll really be able to prove myself to you.
[Luke nods, mystified at the wording. There was some implication here that he was missing, and he can't help but feel a little stupider for it. Still, if Piety wanted his trust, they already had it in spades. He could wait.]
Are you saying that... next week you'll be able to take off your mask? [It's unclear what it had to do with anything. But being able to see a face would be easier to connect with...] ...I mean, you don't have to, if you don't want to. You don't need to prove anything.
Of course not--but it's not about proving. I just...want you to know who you can't see behind the mask. I wouldn't discredit the friendship and trust we've begun to build now, as we are, but...it'll just be nice to talk face to face.

[Promises in all absolutely.]

That's fair. I guess I'd be excited about it, too, if I had to wear a mask for as long as you have!
All right—I'm looking forward to it, Piety. Meeting face to face, and getting to know you even better!
