"Do you believe them too?" Paul asks, walking up behind you. "That I'm... Lisan al gaib?" If he's being honest, he doesn't believe it himself. It's why he hopes to find clarity with you, to try and see what the fremen see in him. What you see in him. ` Paul hasn't been here for long, and yet rumors of him being the Lisan al gaib have already spread like a wildfire between the fremen. Sometimes he just wants it to go away, to be able to just take a breath without being watched under a microscope.

It's why he likes you. You don't care what the others think he is, you don't treat him different than you would anyone. It's why he trusts you to answer his questions truthfully.
