Well - if someone's behaving differently, it helps if you know what normal looks like.

[heroinhisowntime]

Do you think they'd behave differently?

[senior_citizen]

I would. I get nervous when I have to lie.

[heroinhisowntime]

Hmm... even lying about something like this, huh. Well, I guess I can try to see.

[senior_citizen]

[ nods ]

I'll do everything I can too.

[heroinhisowntime]

Alright. At least we can work together on it. Maybe if we talk about stuff it will be easier.

[senior_citizen]

Yeah. I can probably figure out Citrine and Sapphire, at least.

[heroinhisowntime]

I know Ruby and Emerald best, probably... and I know the Heliodor kids who are playing some... and the girl from Kunzite... I dunno how many of them are likely to be bad liars, though.

[senior_citizen]

Well - we should still talk to someone on every team. Split it up so that we talk to the teams that we know best.

[heroinhisowntime]

That sounds like a plan, anyway.

[senior_citizen]

[ nods ]

Maybe keep an eye on the others too. See who they talk to - how actively they're looking for information. If I were a fox, I'd just want to be quiet and not get noticed.

[heroinhisowntime]

Ah... yeah, I guess that makes sense. They don't need to figure things out.

[senior_citizen]

Yeah. The ones who aren't foxes - they depend on the info they gather.

[heroinhisowntime]

Right...
