>"I heard birds migrate through here, and what do you know, there's already four great tits here. In other words, no special reason, it sounded more interesting than a temple. Why, does the place mean something special to you?"
Author Note: Critical failure on Charisma
You must have said something wrong. You can tell immediately, even before Sarah begins to study your features closer. She is suspicious, and that makes her dangerous.
Sarah: I don't buy that, Special Agent Beatrice "Johnny" Johnson. Not for a second.
Her tone is different. Not "different" in the fact that it's a little colder, but even the way she pronounces things. It's subtle, but it's there. She sniffs the air.
Sarah: Tell me, Ms. Johnson. What do you think I am?
You suspect -- no, you KNOW that bluffing won't work now. You've dealt with feral-types in the past, and when they sniff the air like that they're looking to pick up any form of deception. You're charismatic but the odds aren't with you to lie now.
What do you say or do? Please note that unless you state you're willing to take a rather risky chance on bluffing, whatever you say will be considered the truth and incorporated in Johnny's character.
