An e for effort on the trust comment. This kid ought to consider acting as a career because he's pretty damn convincing. If Karl were just a little bit more naive himself, he might have actually bought that.

But thankfully he's his usual, hardass self. Those words that may have gained pity just gain pure indifference. Being the wonderful person he is, the trust comment doesn't get called on as being a lie, either. Instead? He rolls with it. "Then it'll behoove you to not trust so lightly in the future, something a proper punishment ought to reinforce."
