[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.
( A literal lie detector. Her eyebrow is a little raised, smile wry - she knows Verity knows that Hel isn't in wide usage. Consider it an honor, Verity. )
I wouldn't exactly call myself imaginative. ( Unless you want to talk about items to use as weapons and ways to beat people senseless. ) What about 'V'? Anyone claimed that one yet?
( A little dry, a little amused. )
So, I guess you've gotten the comments about being killer at poker before, huh? My only superpower is my amazing hair.
( being vicious, brutal and badass took hard work and scorching emotions that chewed her up. It definitely wasn't any kind of super power. )
Ah, 'V'. The simple approach. Actually not commonly used with me, so permission granted. [Verity herself doesn't really get many nicknames, but that's possibly on account of not having ever had many close friends to give them too her. Even Loki always refers to her as Verity, so having a slight change actually intrigues her. It's nice.
But she just gives a slight smile, despite being touched by the idea.]
Funny enough, I'm not a poker kind of gal. Would probably get kind of dull after a while if I'm victorious supreme every round. [A lie detector that doesn't take huge advantage over her power. But she chuckles at the comment.]
And you know what, you're right. You do that hair well. I've been dyeing mine forever to give it some spark.
Gotta appreciate the classics, as they say. You got it, V.
See, I know you aren't a Cassamento or a Bertinelli. If you were, boredom wouldn't matter. ( It's be about the money, the payoff. ) You'd be the worst mafia member ever.
( Casually, but there's relief around the edges. She's relieved and surprised to feel it. )
I like the color. I just go overboard with olive oil and avocado - living the cliche Mediterranean life.

[Despite the fake gasp of offense, she starts to laugh, feeling a bit at ease at the playful conversation. A definite nice touch.]
Probably would have been a better alternative. The coloring tactic adds a more rebellious style to it though. [Which was her plan, really.]

( Helena snorts quietly. ) Do I strike you as the rebellious sort?
( hahahahahaha
