[ If Howl weren't so charismatic, the smile he's giving Liem would probably come across as devious. But the wizard knows how to look innocent, how to deflect blame, and how to get around rules without actually breaking them. Liem couldn't ask for a better partner-in-crime for figuring out how not to commit a crime here. ]
