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.

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.]
