< Ah, any of it, really. Her name, that she was on her neighborhood committees... > the Treiha counted off on their fingers, still retaining that odd little smile. < Had you known her? >

< No, > Numair said shortly.

PASS

+ true.

< Then were did you learn all of that? > the Treiha picked up the pen that Numair had left on the open file he'd been working on and, seemingly idly, began fidgeting with it.

< From the people who did know her, > Numair replied.

PASS

+ true (technically)

The Treiha was bouncing the pen rapidly between two long fingers now. < Ah, so you spoke to these people directly? > they wanted to know eagerly. < Who did you speak to? How did you find them? >

Numair leaned forward slightly, ignoring the movement of the pen. < Sorry, am I being interrogated? > he asked archly. < This wasn't difficult information to come by, you know. I didn't hear back from your hunters, so I got it elsewhere. >

PASS

+ doesn't actually answer the question
