The tender fingers placing the flower behind his ear made him smile and they were pulled immediately into a game of two truths and a lie. He hated that game, he was such a crappy liar. But it was a good distraction for Elyse and a way to get to know the new found friends, though Cade wasn't sure how much they'd be his friends, this was his half-brother's crowd and he w ouldn't stick around if Nox were unaccepting. Or found him to be a liar. Not that Cade didn't beleive. His father hadn't denied the picture resembled his mother. But he didn't comment on it much more than that either.
It was hard being left.
"I'm going to go with you don't speak Arabic, Nes." Not that if she started spouting a foreign language that he'd be able to tell it for truth or lie. Most people could fake it for a little while, if no one else knew. Or even mimic a few words they picked up elsewhere. Cade beleived some people made up stories to look bigger stronger and others hid the truth in plain sight.
Cade thought about his two truths. He could have easily give them things they already knew. Things they could have found out. Cade added his to the mix. "I graduated highschool a year early. I saw the monster that took my mother. And I was once charged with resisting arrest"
