Genji probably learned it in practice and devotion to Kinzo. Who can say?

Hmhm! I won't confirm that at all. I told you I'd be fickle.

Possible... [Will have to pay attention to that, yes.]

Hm? In that case...I'll just have to pay very close attention to be sure.

Do so. I'll say now that they don't get many mentions, aside from their names.

[Nods.] Even a name can reveal a lot, depending.

True, true! But I won't say anymore.

[Smirks a bit.] Of course not. [Yet it seems like he got something from that.]

[ ... pokes the top of your head ]

That face.

What face?

Now you're just pulling an innocent one.

[Smirks.] Who says I'm not?

Hmph.

What's the theory, detective?

No theory. Just a bit of a hunch.

Let's hear the hunch, then.

If I did that, then you'd avoid the tell in the future.

... Ah, so I would. [ cackle! ] I guess it's important to predict your opponent's moves!

Poker, chess, any game you have to learn to read your opponent as much as the board.

That goes for me as well, of course.

Though I'm wondering if I'm the only one who can use it affectively? Since you're the one who moves the pieces, and for me to play requires laying out a majority of my hand if not all of it.

Well, we're playing for fun, not high stakes, for one. And if I want to prove myself, I'll have to work incredibly hard.

... my little slip-up on the island's 'Truth Day' gave you that much.

Which is why it's important to take it seriously. Then it's the most challenge and the most fun.

Well, this particular tell actually had nothing to do with that. Truth Day gave me a lot of hints for figuring out the final mystery.

And I'll take it very seriously. It's no fun if I treat it idly.

... Indeed. Let's just hope the island didn't like that one enough for it to happen again.

Glad to hear it.

...I agree. I said enough that slipping up anymore in front of Kazuha would be dangerous.

And it goes without saying that much of the fun about me hinges on secrets. [ cackle! ] It's normal that the supernatural are naturally mysterious.

Or those pretending to be the supernatural.

...used to never really had to hide anything until I shrank. [Frowns. He really, really doesn't like how important lying has become for him.]

But having a veil of mystery around you now is important to protecting those close to you, isn't it? Hahaha... maybe that's the reason you're a magnet for mystery yourself.
