"He wouldn't know that," Dias pointed out with a slight shrug. "And if it did come out, you could just say it was a precaution you only recently started taking."
He nodded his agreement when Claude admitted that he probably wouldn't be coming clean that day. Undoubtedly he'd need to decide on just what to tell Ronixis(and, hopefully, practice making the lie sound believable). Anyway, it was unlikely the lie would unravel so quickly that immediate damage control was necessary. "So long as it's soon, I doubt you have to tell him today if you're not ready." After a pause, he asked the obvious next question. "You'll want us looking out for him, I assume?" He wasn't sure what the ramifications would be if something happened to Ronixis in the institute, but even if there weren't any, that the man was Claude's father was undoubtedly reason enough for his rival to want him safe.
