Ashley could barely believe the nonsense being spouted, not only by the village madman but Lotus as well. Rubbing their temple for a moment before noticing Leis staring at the two siblings. Their features quickly softened into a smile, approaching him with a courteous bow. A small plan hatching. One they definitely knew they were going to regret later, but it would at least get the job done. One using Lotus' stupidity to their advantage.
Speaking a little more casually than they normally did, they asked if perhaps Leis would be willing to tell Lotus and themselves more about this conspiracy he was spouting talking about. Telling him of how they and Lotus had been trying to uncover their own truths and would love to discuss the details further. However, they were sure to claim that it would be best to perhaps go somewhere a little less out in the open. So the wrong people didn't overhear them.
A plan that, while half-cocked for sure in Ashley's opinion, apparently worked, Leis chuckling as he signalled for the two to follow him. As he began to wheel himself away from the mansion, Ashley sighed in relief, step one of the plan was complete. Leaning into their sister, they whispered into her ear, apologising for not realising her genius sooner and telling her to explain the details of the investigation they'd undertaken with Dex with this man. With this, their job would be completed with ease.
