I... really don't like being a historical and religious figure subject to speculation.
I'm glad no one nowadays thinks I actually betrayed Kelsier, but I wish they didn't have whole historical studies on what happened to me during the weeks we were separated, before they sent me after him to the Pits. You do not want to know.
So.
How do we fix it?
I don't think we can stop them. Facts would probably help but I... *shudders* I won't.
My only other idea is literal divine interference to intimidate them into stopping, but I also don't want to be someone who stops people from speaking freely.
Hmmm… no divine intervention and the truth Should Not Be Done…
Well, we’ve got a heister and disguise specialist, as well as a wizard that runs several businesses. How about we still give a lie, but the lie you want told?
... I've considered it, but I haven't been able to come up with a convincing enough story. Anything that's plausible needs to be suitably horrifying, and that... comes too close to the truth at times.
I also haven't told anyone about it, and I don't want them hearing a painful lie and being unsure how much of it's made up.
Ah.
Why go into details with the story? It could simply be implied, there's no need to add the horrifying details, I've noticed people tend to do that on their own.
