[Finn's been around Jonathan long enough that any initial weirdness has passed regarding the combination of human and Argonian features.]
He knows I grew up in a small fishing village in Morrowind, spent a year in Skyrim before I got ported in, had an embarrassing incident when I was still a novice alchemist.
[He knows what Lucien's referring to, he just likes keeping things light.]
He knows I killed Grelod the Kind and that I did it to save the children she was abusing, but he doesn't know about Aventus or what happened afterwards.
Then we can publicly remain as fellow travelers from the same world, and nothing more.
[Had he known a Listener was here when he first arrived, he might have invented an entirely new existence for himself, simply to give Finn more cover and less connection to him, should they need to deny knowledge of each other. But he had already said too much at that point, to too many.]
It will. But the natural inclination of most will be to draw a line between
us based on our shared world, no matter how foolish that would be. If one
of us comes under suspicion, the other will face more scrutiny.
