Lying 101, Monday Second Period

[tequila_squared]

"Today, we're going to continue working more on the fine art of body language," Lito declared at the beginning of today's class. "There are several 'tells' that may give away a liar, but one you may not have considered is being too still in an effort to control those tells. You may, for instance, have noticed that when you lie you shuffle your feet, or fidget with your hands, so you stand with your feet firmly planted and your hands clasped." Lito demonstrated, and said, "Well, now you look like you are at attention. Not exactly less suspicious, no? So let's practice standing naturally while telling enormous fibs. Pair up, and I'm not going to assign you a subject because I find it's easier to lie convincingly when it feels a bit silly, or like acting. I'm going to let you decide what you should lie to your partner about."

She had the posture one could expect of an accomplished young lady. He education might have been somewhat lacking at Allerdale Hall, but her mother had made sure that Lucille would not make a fool of herself in polite society, even of the methods of learning this skill had not been quite pleasant.

It would be suitable for lying, wouldn't it? After all, that was what one did in polite society a lot of the time.
