[The same face doesn't change things; this is an entirely different person. Her demeanor, her background, her habits, it's not a mirror image. But it does leave Verity all the more curious, wondering just how much she might share with this stranger. Despite it all, she still can't read between the lines — not yet anyway.

But what can see is the slight fib about the nickname. Still, she smiles at the fact.] Alright, Hel. I can do that. [If she wants the name, she'll happily oblige.] I'm just "Verity" to people, but feel free to change that up. Bonus points for originality.

[Her eyes narrow a bit at the lie comment, but shrugs nonetheless.] Well, I don't mean looking at body language and habits and all of that. It's actually a pretty literal thing. When people tell a lie, I know. It's ... sort of like a voice in the back of my head that signals it.
