Connor Harkens, aptitude test administrated by Valerie

(yah sorry not good at "finding a logical way to stop the dog)

Conner stared at the picture realizing he knew the man. He fought against his Candor blood and instead listened to the voice inside his head telling him, No, don't tell him! "I'm sorry, I don't know that man." he said, cringing.

Conner looked at the man, determined not to tell him this time. He would never be like the candor in him, the candor he always hated. "I don't know him." he said, forcefully.

"What?" was his first reply. Erudite? Was that right? He had always considered himself smart but not that smart. But then Conner remembered the life he had lived before, the life where nothing was a lie, no secrets ever kept hidden. He smiled to himself but hoped Valerie wouldn't see. Now he knew that he wasn't supposed to go back to that honest, secret keeping, mind speaking lifestyle that he had always hated. He could choose a new path. This test was supposed to help him and help him it did.

He looked at her, wondering how he had read his thoughts.

"I'm Candor," Valerie said in response to his thoughts. "I can usually tell what people are thinking."

(Uh she doesn't read minds but Candor can kinda tell. Like they know when people are lying and stuff so they can kinda read emotions. No actual ind reading though)

Valerie smiled politely.
