"Right, so today some of you will be getting visitors," Anakin said, starting the discussion as he entered the classroom, "which leads rather neatly into our discussion this week: lying. Will you tell your visitors the entire truth about this island? Will you shade the truth? Will you straight up lie to their faces if they see a gremlin or a teal deer? And if you choose to lie, why do you chose that option?"

"I don't have people coming, but Strange and Wong already know everything about this place," Illyana said bluntly. "I wouldn't need to lie."

And no one from Xavier's knew where she was, thank the Elder Gods. She didn't want to be found.

She glanced at her classmates. "If you need me to lie to someone for you, though, I'll do it."

"Why would you lie for others?" Anakin asked, interested to understand her thought process.

"Why not?" she replied with a shrug. "Family doesn't always know best, and they're not always ready to know you. And lying to people I don't know doesn't inconvenience me at all."

"Hells, it could even be funny." And they might owe her a favor later, and favors had power.
