It's been often commented on in Christian settings - the "Prince of Lies" seldom actually lies. Likewise, like Hermes, Jake plays fast and loose with the truth, but he never quite lies. It seems to be enforced by his brother. It's funny - whereas in the present Elementalists are suspicious of traipses, i.e., death (and/or travel) worshippers, we've seen that Jake and Jude get along, at least a little - or is that non-canon?
It behooves me to point out that death and traipses are Altaïr's domain, and are irrelevant to the relations between Jake and Jude.
Sure, but I was talking about the modern (?) tale - certainly post-Exile - where Jake and Jude are goofing around in the ethereal realm.
(PS: Altaïr? Tell me I haven't been saying that wrong - albeit substituting a Boston accent for a Strayan one - for eight years.)
