That's the gist of it, I think. The passage talks about how the book is only meant for the eyes of the Priest, but something about time returning to the faithful Shepherd's dog will make it interpretable again.
I'd say something about if it was a lie, my trust would be hurt, but, then, I guess there was nothing really world-shattering in there, so why lie about it?

[. . .]
But that's all I have for now.
no subject
But, I just have one question. Why tell me this?
Are you hoping I'll tell the rest of the weeds?
no subject
I'm only sharing what I know. . . because you're just as affected by it, too.

no subject
[waggles a finger]
I have no reason to lie.
no subject
[raises her hands up]
I'm kidding.
no subject
You'd better be.
no subject
Thank you.
no subject
Of course.

Does Lily, strictly speaking, know that you're passing it on to me?
Not just weeds, but specifically me?
[asked casually, like the answer might be important but might not.]
no subject
Why does that matter?
no subject
There's been trust issues.
no subject
It doesn't matter where the information came from. And I think I'm allowed to share it with whom I please. So. . .
no subject
Lily thinks they have the ability to blackmail me. Specifically, their Shepherd.
no subject
[she would know that better than anyone, right?]
no subject
Not because they don't have that information, but because I refuse to be blackmailed. They can tell the entire pasture if that's what they want.
If I let them blackmail me even once, there's nothing to stop them from doing it over and over and over again.
no subject
[so. . . he isn't exactly sure what the problem is, here]
no subject
Remember earlier when I said I may "have" to talk about myself? That will be if they ever try to use their blackmail.
no subject
[he already promised he'd hear her out, and he doesn't intend to go back on that]
But for what it's worth, I don't really want to get involved in any conflict you might have with Lily.
no subject
[she suddenly breaks out into tears]
That was the last thing I wanted!
I DELETED I'M SORRY!
Then what did you want from them?
no subject
...I want to sneak into their part of the pasture and steal peaches when they aren't looking.
