Keltham sort of wants to ask about more personal things, but - that seems a lot less like fair play.  He's not even sure how he could ask about that, afterwards, without making it seem like he was trying to extract a truthsaying from her, which seems sort of like trying to press an oath out of somebody.  (There can ever be non-self-originating requests to swear to something, there's standard Keeper oaths after all, but it has to be set up in an extremely careful way to make it a mutually beneficial interaction that doesn't proliferate social pressure to swear oaths.)

It doesn't seem much worth trying to ask things more intricate; he covered that territory with his earlier experiments, and if they could defeat the truth spell they can probably defeat this too.  "Not sure how expensive it is to dispel something, or how easy it is to leave it up, but I'm fine if you want to dispel that now."

Keltham sort of wants to ask Carissa about more personal things, but - that seems a lot less like fair play.  He's not even sure how he could ask about it being okay to use a spell for that, afterwards, without making it seem like he was trying to extract permission from her, which seems sort of like trying to press an oath out of somebody.  (There can ever be non-self-originating requests to swear to something, there's standard Keeper oaths after all, but it has to be set up in an extremely careful way to make it a mutually beneficial interaction that doesn't proliferate social pressure to swear oaths.)
