** Actually, no. In the explanation, it was pointed out above that yes, saying he was mistaken would be a lie. But the results would not play out the same. In the story proper, Afsan was accused of being a demon, which in the book series are established as 'being able to lie in the light of day'. Afsan was telling the truth in the actual story and thus his muzzle did not turn blue, the liar's tint. This is why the priests attempted to kill him. But if he had said he was mistaken, a lie, that would have caused his muzzle to turn blue, thus destroying their evidence of him being a demon. No, he would not have gotten out of trouble, but the priests would not have been able to oust him as a demon if he had proven to them that he could be easily outed as a liar by showing them his muzzle turned blue just like anyone else's.

*** Interesting point, I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps he ''should'' have lied then.

* When Afsan is being accused by Det-Yenalb and the priests of being a demon, capable of lying in the light of day, why didn't he just take that one ailing priest's advice and just simply say he was mistaken? His muzzle would have shown blue and that would have prevented the accusation of him being a demon. Sure it probably wouldn't have gotten him out of danger, but it would have prevented the priests from nearly entering dagamant and shredding him, as the main reason they even got into that condition was because they thought Afsan was a demon, a being that is universally hated among the Quintaglio race.
