"Isn't that the kind of question everyone wishes they could say no to? People want to say they're sensible, logical, and smart enough not to be fooled, even by themselves. But… I think… The right lie? The right dream at the right time?"
His eyes slip away and he nods slowly. After a few seconds, he tilts his head at Johann with a little shrug. "How could anyone resist?"
((And Johann is doing an excellent job of keeping off of Isidor's radar. Bravo, Johann!))
