He wasn't here? Could he be new? That didn't really seem right, though, especially if he had one of those badge things. He was probably just lucky enough to sleep through that morning.

Anise expected her little fib to go unnoticed, but what she definitely didn't expect was for the guy to flinch and freeze up, like he was in a lot of pain. "H-hey, are you okay!?" Dropping her own rag, Anise rushed to the other side of the table. Considering her first impression of him was that he looked almost sickly, it wouldn't surprise her if he did have health problems... but what was that? A headache?

Before she reached him, however, he looked back to her with an odd, suspicious look; one that made her stop in her tracks.

You're lying to me. He couldn't really know that. How could he say that with such conviction? And shouldn't he be worrying about himself? Whatever that was just now, it looked like it really hurt.

Anise's face was a mixture of concern, confusion, and defensiveness as she tried to deny the accusation. "What are you talking about? That's weird. Why would I lie about something like that?" In the end, she just parroted his own question back to him. Actually answering it would have been an admission of guilt, after all.
