[When the video feed flickers on, the team will see Asher and Connor side by side, sharply dressed and poised to deliver a pitch. Around them spans the castle’s library, its shelves looming and brimming with books and its lanterns glowing in the dimness that encourages a studious sort of quiet. A quiet that is about to come to an end as Connor opens his mouth.]
This is a public service announcement from the offices of-- [He cues the other man.]
A-Milly from over the hillyyyyyy~♪
--and Connor Walsh, attorneys at law.
[*They are not real attorneys. They have not passed the bar exam in any state, country, planet, or dimension.]
Welcome to Espionage 101, or as we prefer to call it--
[They part to reveal the easel chalkboard that waits behind them, across which Asher writes with gusto:]
--How to get away with lying. Responsibly! And not like a lil’ bitch.
[Asher finds it necessary enough to add their addendum to the title in tiny parentheses.]
Now, seeing as most of you are totez clueless when it comes to this whole fake identity thing, we’d like to give you a couple of pointers to start, so you uh. Don’t blow the whole operation and risk Zymandis kickin’ our keisters, ‘cause if ya ask me? Those guys are the definition of cray cray.
[The look Connor gives him is only half as judgmental as it could be. Why does he insist on resurrecting the most ancient of lingo… Nevertheless, he continues the spiel.]
The most basic rule of lying is: keep it simple, stupid. Elaborating doesn’t make your lie more believable, it just makes it more likely that you’ll shoot yourself in the foot by saying something moronic. Remember, anything you say can and will be used against you in space court. If these guys even believe in giving a fair trial, which they probably don’t, seeing as they’re supposed to be the bad guys.
Anyway, if someone starts asking questions, give as little as possible. You don’t have to plead the fifth, because let’s be real, most of the time that just makes you seem more shady.
[The doughier of the two nods vigorously in the background, pressing the back of his hand to his forehead and casting a shadow over his face, in an effort to provide an illustrative example.]
And because we’re the nicest people ever, we’re offerin’ our services to all of our Audentes homies, free of charge.
So. You in?

Uh. We're not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes here. We're saving all our subtlety and subterfuge for the Death Star. Sorry, the mothership.

Perhaps that will allow you to be of use amongst the enemy.

I don't write poetry. But you'd be surprised by how far a little flirting can get you. A lot farther than being a bitch, in this case.

[It's just beneath her. She's fought and trained so hard to not be made into a lord's "attendant" or a mount- hadn't she?
