Eddie used to be what equated to a reporter. He pushed for questions from people, he wrote about it. Eddie knew body language and expressions and when people were lying like the back of his hand. The problem here being that Sephiroth was a shit liar. Sephiroth was banking on Eddie not having heard him call that voice mother.
.. YOU WOULD NOT LIE THAT BADLY. Venom says. They don't sound smug. They sound, surprisingly, neutral. Which is fair -- Eddie could probably come up with a good lie, but probably not on the spot. Eddie was pretty good at masking his emotions. Granted, he was .. kind of shit at coming up with lies on the spot, too. At least Sephiroth tried. Eddie hopes to god this guy is at least sane, given that he has a god complex the size of the Rosebloods as far as he can tell.
"So, you called yourself mother?" He points out, distinctly unimpressed. The raccoon's tail swishes, and he tilts his head, considering his next words. God knows he doesn't want to get kicked out for being a nosy little fucker. Sephiroth seems pretty reasonable, though, even if he's fucked up beyond all hell. "You're a shit liar." He informs the lion, rolling his eyes. Damn, Eddie wasn't gonna tell on him, even if he was insane. Eddie would normally write about it and spread it, being a reporter, but he actually lived here, first of all, and he wasn't going to spread rumors about this guy who had full control over Eddie's life. He says as much. "Listen, I'm not gonna tell on you or whatever, but you really need to get better at lying at least," He snorts. Eddie could probably help, except he didn't care if Sephiroth was discovered or not. Listen, the dude was fucked up, Eddie wasn't gonna offer him any favors if he could help it.
