Keltham almost starts to sign, before he remembers that he does have a tool for being a little less uncertain, possibly given to him by his god (if indeed that is actually a thing, as others told him, and books seemed to mention), even if it's a tool that seems like it could obviously be defeated in some ways.  "I have a first-circle spell which, I am told, enforces that truth be told, and shows a symbol to prove this has come into effect; I apologize if this is an insulting question, but is it acceptable that I cast that spell on you, and ask you only if you are indeed a Lawful being, and if you've lied to me at any point before?"
