"Seventh… Circle?" Neptunia repeated, her voice faltering slightly. Surprise flickered across her face as her eyes widened, then narrowed in suspicion.. Well not even beleiving it Honestly. "You mean… directly from the Seventh Sea?"

"Yeah…" Razeal said, his tone calm and confident, though his mind was already weaving threads of deceit faster than the current around them. "Yeah, we did come directly from there. That's why we weren't completely sure if this was the Third Sea or not. But seems like" his lips curved into a faint smirk, "we succeeded."
It was a clean lie smooth, effortless, and told without even a flicker of hesitation. The kind of lie spoken by someone who was born to lie.
