Jim nods along with her, and does his very best to keep that 'ooh, busted' look off his face. "Yeah, there's some overlap between the two, but they're not always the same," he admits. It does help, though, to know that he can just tell her not to go down that line of questioning, though depending on the circumstances, he's not sure that'll be enough. Depends on how hard his own secrets are biting him in the ass, he supposes.

He does direct a small smile over at Hunter, before looking back at Verity. "I've seen a little of that firsthand myself," he agrees. Although another thought does occur to him that he should ask about. "Can you tell when it's just a partial truth?" He'd rather not shut down conversation entirely every time they tread near some of his worse emotional landmines, but he doesn't want to keep setting off her bullshit detector either.
