Has Oro ever lied to us or told anyone a lie that we know of? My gut says Oro's a straightforward autist that hates social interactions and especially, especially hates social games such as lying and deceit with the burning passion of a thousand suns. (and he's also a crazy evil pycho, but that goes without saying) He's been very, very direct in the past and commented on how he vastly prefers that and kinda hated how Hazo even sorta questioned his word at some point. To Oro, it seems words should
mean something. If he promises he's not gonna booby trap the bioseal, I'm pretty down to trust him here. Social deception and deceit doesn't seem to be Oro's style. For example, during this conversation, if Oro was planning on betraying us, he would have had to have that idea in his head, while simultaneously talking and acting like he's not gonna do it, and have to continually pull it off flawlessly for not only Hazo, but his family who has a social spec for (probably) multiple days.
For example:
Incidentally, regarding bioseals: if I am to accept a loss of secrecy with respect to my reserves-enhancing bioseals, I will commit fully to using them against Akatsuki. If the Pangolin or Arachnid summoners would benefit from having their chakra systems expanded, I will perform the procedure for them as well. Specifically, I suspect the Arachnid summoner could secure Kumokougou's contract, as the Arachnid Empress has appeared rather pliable historically.
Here Oro bring up how he's willing to chip in for the good of the cause. If you're lying or plan to backstab, you don't "innocently" muse that you can go bioseal Hazo's family as well. That suspicious as f*ck! If you're lying, you want to try and divert attention AWAY from the thing you're lying/scheming to do! Paradoxically you only bring that idea up if you're honest.
What's more likely (bayesian)
Oro (sneaky motherf*cker gonna dead switch Hazo, good at lying)
H: "Yeah, I'm thinking of using your super dangerous bioseal for chakra."
O:
I gotta get this kid under the knife to trap him, what should I say to get him to agree. He's currently suspicious so let's throw him off the case. How should I do it... Hmm....
O: Yes! And we should it with your Family to! Let's do it with everyone! *
evil cackling*
H: "Uhh....WTF??"
Oro (innocent autist, just wants to solve problems and genuinely help)
H: "Yeah, I'm thinking of using your bioseal for chakra."
O:
We gotta beat Akasuki, our odds don't look good. Hmm How can we increase our power quickly....
O: "Yeah. That's a good idea. Hmm... Since it's such a good idea... Hmmm.... Is there anyone else I can use them with? To help out the team? It's very potent with summoners... Do we have any it would help with?"
Thoughts?
I think a promise from Oro's probably good enough (high-ish 90% Oro plays us straight, is my gut check), and if we're normal paranoid, we can have Mari be there to check if he's lying.
