Maybe traitor isn't the best word here. Basically, the way I see it, the situation here is one of the following:
A) There's a spy working for the imperials working over here. Perhaps the goal is to wipe out the rebels before the Emperor wakes up.
B) The rebellion is keeping the emperor asleep somehow, and naturally the coordination for this effort is going through Rebel HQ.
C) This is all a wild goose chase and I ought to let you get me somewhere else where the plot can advance.
Maybe the things I want to do are more in aid of determining whether A is true and not B, but I think that trying to determine whether B is true would probably be more dangerous, and should be done after.

I'm sure he's just being curious; I'm sure I researched enough before to have a clear picture of what Verdaze is like, and will use Acting to make sure I'm consistent and Memetics! to inject life into the answers I'm giving (it would be awfully weird to sound like and encyclopedia article.)

Memetics!
3d6 <= 15
6 + 5 + 1 = 12 ... success

If the card game is common to both Verdaze and Lithus, I'll mention I've played before and pick up the rules as I go:

If it makes sense (as in, makes sense for someone from Verdaze), I'll mention that I don't know how to drive.
