Oh, damn, that's impressive. If he hadn't just been seducing her moments before, she'd really beleive that performance. It's even enough to make Sonia recoil a little in genuine...well, not disgust, but some more mature form of ick, gross. She could take a few pointers from him, maybe. Outrageous lies with a straight face, sure, but if she could throw that kind of a show...

She gives Gavalas a look that is both entreating and I told you so, why didn't you believe me, keeping a hand on Byerly's back. Gavalas, watching the scene, sighs heavily.

"It won't kill you," he finally says, a little tartly, and the look he gives Sonia isn't entirely charitable either. He has his suspicions, but the man really does seem to be ill. "Alright, I'll go fetch a med tech...please stay put, Princess."

"I promise," Sonia says dutifully, and actually means it, too. The moment Gavalas is out of sight she leans over and murmurs, "Nicely done, Byerly."
