no reflection

He explained the reason ? a caution to trust. It was when pondering ever so lightly upon this that Caesar realized that he had a rather odd relationship with trust. He didn?t care much for who he gave it to ? he took it and forced it quite capriciously, and it was more often than not that he was the one not to be trusted. Or did he even have trust? Did someone who was not to be trusted have their own reserves of confidence to place in someone? He did not feel that he ever really relied on anyone. That was, after all, where trust came from, wasn?t it? Needing to count on someone, to expect them to fulfill something. An impulsive creature so erratic as Caesar did not rely on anything much, really. He glanced back to Deteste, smirking but not terribly understanding. Who had time for trust?
He took another step forward, pausing again to glance back towards the male as he spoke again. The imp found the statement slightly funny. What did he mean, a lot like him? ?He knows Caesar?? it was not a pointed question, but something stirring that was aimed to provoked reason. No passive-aggression, no irritation. He was merely interested, for Caesar did not know Caesar. And how could Deteste be like him unless he knew what he was like? Maybe he meant in appearance. There was little recognition by the imp of his own personality. He didn?t ever think about it ? there was no metacognition involved in his life, no philosophy or values. He simply did as he felt, controlled by instinct and whimsical desire.
