As he moved slightly and started answering her question, her brows drew together in confusion. So... What? These people were capable of lying, but not always capable of spotting lies? If they had one, she figured that they would automatically have the other. The concept really didn't make sense to her. She understood why the ability to lie would be beneficial - to a point - but it wasn't exactly fair if others weren't able to catch them.
The Fae's wordplay was for the same purpose as the others' lying was, but...it was just better. Dishonesty was foul, but craftiness and cleverness could absolutely be admired.
WhenJigano said that he found most of the people to be trustworthy, the girl wrinkled her nose with almost disbelief. Eliza wasn't about to place any trust in the judgement of someone who just said he couldn't always spot lies! That would just be foolish! She would decide for herself, refusing to group anyone. Assumptions about the whole of a new people could very well get her and her people in trouble, and she sure as hells wasn't going to risk that.
Placing her trust in a single person... That could be done.
His question surprised her a little bit, turning so suddenly from the topic he had been focused on. Perhaps he was a better judge of character than she perceived him to be, as she didn't outright say she would no longer answer questions about the tulmhainar. Part of her wanted him to ask just so he would waste a question!
Eliza pursed her lips for a moment, thinking on the answer. "I'm not really sure," she said. "I would prefer not to find out, though, so...let's not get caught." To her knowledge, no one had intentionally brought a non-Fae directly into the Sidhe Village. At least not in her lifetime. The rule just kind of stood that no outsiders were allowed in. She was breaking all of her former beliefs by even thinking about bringing someone into her world, but wasn't that the point of growth? She prided herself on being open-minded, so by principle, that should extend to this also.
"What god do you align yourself with?" She asked him. Eliza had found that there was a decent amount to find out about someone simply by who they worshipped, so she was curious to know just where Jigano's loyalties laid.
