Shake up the dynamic and let everyone learn new things about one another. At Relic's nod, she took the clue and acted at once far more interested in what he was saying than she really was. Not to say that she was disinterested, but she over-emphasized her curiosity, acting as if she was clinging to his every word. At the same time she made sure to completely ignore Zoie and Marc as well while he spoke. She dropped the act when he chuckled and turned the computer around. [color=D5FF00]"You ass,"[/color] she said with a light chuckle. She balled up a nearby napkin and threw it playfully at Relic for lying about what he'd actually been doing. Really, just a normal internet search? He needed to do that so dramatically at the table? Well considering how often he was the target for teasing, this was probably getting a bit of payback. [color=D5FF00]"So a family man with no wife. So the two things that come to mind is that Valentine is either this niece, or she could be an unmentioned bastard daughter. Or adopted."[/color] No need to limit one's perceived options based on limited information. [color=D5FF00]"If her presence on something like the CIA database is redacted to hell, I'm pretty sure some About section on a family member's website wouldn't mention her. Still, even if that is the case and the niece is a different person from Prosperine, we could perhaps get some information about her through that avenue. If what I said made any sense."[/color]
