Ugh, he didn't even know - there was a POTION for it, but he couldn't use it.

"How can I even understand by only talking?" he asked at Ms. Trusting. How was SHE so SURE?

...................

This was going nowhere, wasn't it?

Sophie sighed and rubbed at her forehead, her eyes closed in frustration as she took a long moment to gather her thoughts. "I'm pretty sure that talking is the normal way people sort things out, not through forcing them to tell the truth against their will. There's things like..." She brought her hands down now and looked at him in exasperation, "things like body language, eye contact, mannerisms, tone, whether or not people stutter or hesitate when they talk - I mean, there's plenty of giveaways that people aren't being truthful. Y'just gotta be perceptive." Which... ahem, she wasn't sure he was capable of being.

So. Uh. "...I could be perceptive for you. You can do all the talking - interrogating, whatever you wanna call it - and I can watch for those things. Or, I can talk... and you can watch. How 'bout it?" Or did he want to go get Ministry approval to use Veritaserum? Puh-lease.
