Garrot's eyes go wide while she glances around. This'll be good, this'll be real g- Space. Yeah, okay, he'd. He'd know if that was a thing. Right? Probably. Yeah, totally! ...Right? But then as she picks up the pacing in her voice, Garrot just. Raises an eyebrow, just a little. Hasn't Haizea heard that adding more details makes a lie less believable? By the time she mentions an alien high council he's just raised both eyebrows and is awkwardly smirking. It kind of hits him how far in she went on this when there's a few moments of silence. It's a moment from getting awkward until she bursts into laughter, and he follows suit.

"Thank goodness that was a lie," He's still laughing. "I almost thought you were serious for a second!" And then he takes a few seconds to laugh it out and collect himself, wiping a tear from his eyes. "I mean, I get if you're jealous that I'm a highly successful doctor, but you don't have to lie."

He's still smiling a little, but there's a look in his eyes that shows he's serious. That was a big, huge, silly lie, and it was funny, but she just dodged the question harder. "There's nothing wrong with a simple job." He shrugs, giving her an out- better than making things awkward.
