Lie Detector

Karl was led to a room where he was sat down across the table from a feathered Demon, with some sort of magical device between them.

"This is a lie detector. My species reacts subconsciously to lies. If you speak, one of the lights will glow. Do you understand how this works?" The Demon asked.

"Yes."

The green light glowed steadily as Karl spoke.

"Good, it seems to be working. Now, we will start on the basic questions before you are sent before the Oracle. This is just for his safety, and we would hope that you don't take it as a personal slight."

[That's why there are Overlords at all three doors to this room.] Rae laughed.

"Of course not. The Oracle sounds like someone important, you can't just let random strangers see him in person without vetting them first." Karl agreed.

The green light glowed, and the Demon nodded.
