Winona, meanwhile, that young woman who managed to pull down better than a four point GPA and graduate with a bachelor's at the top of her class in the midst of her first change and rite of passage and so much more, actually does laugh when Erich says that these other people she doesn't really know but has seen around sound so much smarter than she (or her Alpha, or anyone else in the room), leaving the rest of them looking like comparative dumbasses. "I didn't know a good vocabulary was what greased the wheels these days." She is a bit offended, to be honest, not that it shows - or that she won't get over it quickly. Whatever!

Reese gives Lola a nod, and already has his phone in hand for when this never-ending meeting-moot is over, and he, too, is amused (and bemused, for that matter, because how would Erich know, and what strength is there in making that sort of cognitive leap without even talking to at least a third of the people in the room?) at the kid over there assuming everyone but his buddies would sound stupid in front of the Warder. But that's no job he envies, so whatever - let the people who want it work it out.
"Yeah," is his answer for Lola, and maybe Eva too. "Numbers. Don't wear blinders in an investigation, be open to other possibilities than the expected outcome. Got it."
