A very fair point. [There's a sound that's similar to one of agreement.] As are Disorder and Ambition, though I believe all of us have different feelings on the idea of losing. Some of us are more likely to act out than others is all.
You're the boy who's spoken to everyone so far, aren't you? Surely you have first impressions already.
It's a why and not a what? [To Beauty, the reasons behind a lie and the kind of lie it was are two different things and they're curious how Ray views them.]
Did they lie to me with malicious intentions? Out of a misguided to desire to protect me? Or to protect themselves—or someone else?
I wouldn't be pleased in any case, but what I'm concerned with, first and foremost, is this: if they're my enemy. A threat. That's where I should proceed from.
[There's a very solemn nod as Beauty takes this seriously.]
A very interesting strategy. [It's mumbled, but alas.] I can assure you, at least, there are some of us who won't lie to you. Though as weeks proceed I fear that people will begin holding the cards much closer to the chest, so to speak.

And I do, but I like to check things against what others have to say.

Then at best, it's a matter of conflicting beliefs or a misunderstanding somewhere. At worst, someone is lying.

Depends on why they lied.

Do you have people you can trust here?

I see. [This explains nothing.]
Am I correct to assume you'll continue speaking to all of us even as our numbers shift?

I can't speak for others, but I'd like that very much, actually. There is a reason I sent Senri-kun with my roses.
[It's as Senri said: Beauty just wants to talk to people.]

... Well, if I have time.

That's all I ask. And should you need my assistance again, you may call on me.

All right. Thanks.
