( There's a pause before Claire answers his question - a hesitation. She's seen some very elaborate lies before - people able to be anything, and changed. But that was science and this was something else. War at one end and not science at the other. It wasn't anything that fitted into her world view for one - she went with science )
The best lies are usually pretty elaborate.
( That was how people believed them - detail. The right amount, and something that made them think they couldn't question it. People could believe anything, if they were stupid enough to. She didn't want to believe it - it would change everything she knew if it were true )
