Sure, why not? [Gesturing at the physics book.] This one was actually interesting. The others. . . well, so far, not interesting, but a way to pass the time.
Or why don't you just tell me what she said, so I can explain things? It's Beauregard, I'm sure she made a mess of it.
[He doesn't think this is going to work at all and they definitely got caught lying about things, but he's mad that he is taking the blame. He's a good liar.]
[Lying and conniving is actually his ... go-to? What is an honest conversation.]
I'm not-- I'm not trying to playing a game. I don't even care if you tell me the truth. But if I did something, ran away in the night and stole all your stuff or whatnot, and I'm on my own here, seems fair you should tell me.
Well, no, I was lying about the fight to see what you'd say. Apparently I left for no reason, which, I'll admit, I guess seems like the kind of shitty thing I'd do. But I still think my suggestion was a good one.
[He pulls out his phone after a second, clicking around on it. Then talking into it.]
Told Caleb you and he should talk! Straighten your stories out. Love to hear what you come up with.

[He goes a little quiet for a minute, still easy-going, but then, casually:]
So this fight we had, when I left the Nein, it was bad?

I'm sorry?

I'm joking, Caleb.

[He's calculating how likely it is he could reach for his phone without Molly noticing.]

[oh boy you guys are bad at this it was so ridiculously easy to get him on the back foot]
Alright, look, I'll give you a bit to get your stories straight. Then maybe come talk to me?

[He doesn't seem like he's having much fun though. His arms cross, and he scrubs at his face a bit. ]
She didn't make a mess. Said some very kind things actually.

[They have fought, after all. It didn't drive Molly away. The Iron Shepherds fight was bad, and he doesn't remember the aftermath.]
Maybe there are some things that are a little complicated to talk about. But it isn't anything like you're describing.

You're digging the hole deeper, Mr. Caleb.
[He's already starting to walk away at this point, waving a hand over his shoulder.]
When you come find me later, bring that whiskey.
