Title: True Is Not Truthful
Fandom: Star Trek: the Original Series
Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: none
Summary: Soulmates can't lie to each other, but Spock is a master of misdirection..



"Vulcans only tell the truth."


Vulcans let this misconception stand for good reasons: it paid for you opponents to underestimate you.


"Soulmates are compelled to be truthful to each other."


Spock found it fortunate that a truthful statement could still omit relevant fact or mislead its audience to wrong conclusions.


"Jim, when I feel friendship for you, I'm ashamed." Jim did not need to know the Vulcan definition.


I will omit the truth of my love lest it destroys us. Farewell, my Thyla. "I must leave for Vulcan." Kolinahr eradicates everything. Jim will be safe and ignorant.


But Jim always knew.
