tldr: ML lies to prevent MC from getting information about his rights/choices. They just met lmao
Got a little uncomfortable with ML starting to lie about stuff that prevents MC from getting information or choices he may be interested in : (It feels terrible because MC doesn't know much about this new world he just entered (he was found in the wilderness), ML knows that he doesn't know anything, and ML is knowingly lying to others to purposefully ensure MC doesn't get options. Which are considered his rights in this world and also common practice/logic. The ML pov of this kind of gross, he's thinking, "It's not lying because this is probably what MC would want, I'm just omitting xyz so they don't tell MC his choices that he wouldn't want." But sir, he may not want the options but he sure as hell would want to know the information and what his rights are. First thing he did was ask about information about this world from an official which ML was present for. They just met and he's already giving manipulative and justifying it by assuming MC would be ok with it. Ugh, it's giving the people who think because someone is nice to them, they should take advantage of that since they wouldn't do anything about it. Which is prob a valid assumption because MC hasn't really set clear boundaries even though the author tried to make it seem like MC has good communication skills. When ML apologized for attacking him, MC goes don't apologize it's a compliment... sir, please acknowledge ML almost hurt you and ML is apologizing for what could've happened. This would've been a good time to say something like "hey this may be a safety issue, is there anything we can do about it or let's make efforts so something bad doesn't happen next time"???) It's not a good sign for how this is going to go.
