Rel knew honesty and its darker mirror when she heard it. However this was likely thanks to her natural way of detecting behaviors and calculating their presented likelihoods. Skylar in this case, dumbfounding even Rel, was in fact telling the truth; she couldn't explain the unnatural though mostly passive event that transpired minutes ago. Still, the way Skylar tried to explain herself echoed a circumstance or scenario she was involved in prior before bring her to this point of time.

While she would like to press her queries further, Rel could pick up on Skylar's sense of urgency and stress, wanting nothing more to continue ahead past Rel's barricade. Seeing that he shouldn't be getting her answers now and no longer held a valid warrant on suspending their entry, Rel complied and dematerialized her fabricated wall of solid light, opening the path to Skylar and the others. "Fair enough," she said.

It was almost immediately that when Rel brought her screen down did Skylar push forward. Rel didn't stop her but continued speaking, "I won't stop you like that anymore...but I will be tagging along. What ever triggered that disturbance caused me to 'freeze up'. I hope you can understand why I can't have that happen."
