Mirage sniffed, barely fighting the urge to take true offence to the slight against his own culture - he could tell that it was meant as a joke, after all.
"You hardly have to pretend to fit in with all that. Making you out to be a noble on top of everything else would be foolish and doomed to failure."
Mirage waved a hand, attempting to preemptively block any possible indignant outbursts.
"One cannot fake a lifetime of upbringing with just a week to prepare, after all. No, you will be who you are and where you are from. The only thing we are faking is your slightly greater experience with all things Sensitive and 'spiritual', and the bond."
He calmed a little, venting deep and hard. It really, really wasn't Cliffjumper's fault. He had to remember that.
"You will do your best and memorize the data given to you, and they in turn should be relatively understanding, provided they do not figure out the spark of the ruse. Really, few minor flubs with the cultural etiquette are to be expected with the first contact between worlds. Especially when the 'bonded Sensitive' is not a trained diplomat. It's the mistakes of major Priest matters - things that I know that you seemingly do not - which may get us into trouble."
