It was a nice speech, or at least he thought it was. Say something enough and you just might convince yourself. And it wasn't that it was an outright lie, it just wasn't completely true.
Because for all that Cayde was proud to be who he was, he knew there were still those moments when he'd feel lost, find himself at the edge of that hole that always threatened to never be filled. He'd found a plug for it, an unhealthy one, he'd admit, but it helped him, even if they were ultimately lies.
He smiled the smile that came all too easily, so practiced along with the rest of his casual carefree air that even he wasn't sure when he was pretending and when he was being sincere.
"Don't you forget that," he said, chuckling a bit. "Even though this situation seems the worst, maybe you can remember even worse times. But you got through them. So being in here? This is nothing. We got this."
