Personally hoping we avoid the blackmail angle. (team-up instead?)
That leading question could just as easily be "fishing for a possible ally" as it could be "lead-up to blackmail", though.
The kid is smart... would blackmailing Noah actually help him here?
True, there's an escape attempt in-progress, and Noah is the only one who knows... hmm... maybe it will be blackmail after all.

"Pfft, that's obvious! It's because... uh... excuse me, I have to chase after that cat now."

He's gotcha there.

Actually, maybe the aim of this conversation is just to distract Noah from following the cat.

It's a shame Noah has no social skill, because there's many ways out of this little trap
Glasses has laid.

@The_Squished_Elf What are the ways out ? I'm not good at this.

Yeah Why HASNT he told them about Ceil

Noah, let's get this straight. I see you as an enemy soldier. But also...a friend???
(100% down for this btw)

Glasses Dude is 100% *both* fishing for an ally and distracting Noah from following the cat, which would inevitably lead him back to Malhart. Calling it now.

Noah isn't really in this for the Empire's benefit, he's just trying to take care of himself. (And that's a perfectly safe thing to say to glasses guy.)

@5 For one, call his bluff and make sure it’s Eloy who handles this. Eloy already knows something’s up with “Windows†and kinda doesn’t care.
Also, outright lie and say that he simply didn’t want his compatriots to know, his commanders already know. Noah misstepped and got caught off guard by the royal guard question, he wasn’t scared at all!
Not to mention, who’s going to listen to a prisoner...
There’s less confrontational ways as well but I gotta get stuff done.

Oh-ho-ho, this is a conversation that Noah's been blundering into ass-backwards for a *long* time. It doesn't even matter what GD's motive is; Noah's gonna have to confront the growing paradox of his existence sooner rather than later now, if for no other reason than it's no longer possible for him to deny it.

@The_Squished_Elf whats with the weird text rendering bugs every time you use an apostrophe?

The reason is that if the Empire knew about Noah's hyper-analytic spirit that notices every single little detail that Noah perceives without being conscious of them; they'd volunteer him for more work. With that spirit working for him, Noah is basically Sherlock Holmes.
As far as Noah is concerned, the less of his powers the Empire knows of (and Ciel counts as a power), the less work they'll ask of him.
Lol they are both smart.
The blackmailing will commence in 3, 2, 1...
