If anyone's having trouble with the comms or other technology that doesn't exist where they're from, I'd be willing to teach.

When someone is telling you exactly what you want to hear, there's a catch, especially when they insist there isn't one.

[Hmm. She may have to spell this out for the slow kids.]

The mirrors may not be lying, but they're not being honest, either.

[She had a conversation with one and agreed to nothing because she's so paranoid she'd check ( Read more... )

When someone gives you a name, it doesn't necessarily follow they were telling the truth about it being their name, especially if they have reason to lie.
