Lord Makay's slip?

"I'm not sure whether what you are doing is intentional or not, and I doubt you would be willing to answer that question."

Rather than reacting in some kind of a way that I expected him to act, Makay dived deep into the sea of his thoughts before responding. In fact, even when he did, his head was shaking to the sides, as if he couldn't believe either in how naive I was, or how naive I thought him to be!

"I have no idea what your lordship means!"

Exclaiming straightforwardly, I spread my arms wide in the classing shrugging expression. This act was so plainly obvious that I would have to reconsider helping this man out if he failed to notice the meaning behind it. 

"So, playing dumb. I get it."
