It sure isn't. Maillol acidly tells Sevar that nobody needed to promise Keltham that people were actively working to identify his god, up until that point they had the option of saying that somebody spotted it as Abadar but that they were worried about his adopting Osirion's sexual morals or just that people were still consulting each other about what to say.
This is, mostly, the fault of somebody whose screaming can be distantly heard in Maillol's office, because he was fucking fed up with this whole scenario and this screaming is at least a little consoling, and much worse for that guy, he's getting a permanent notation on his file saying that he doesn't think fast enough on his feet to take point on complicated situations, like that involving Otolmens's oracle, whom Carissa is also partially responsible for remembering the existence of, even if it wouldn't have been her job to try to yank the guy out of the room fast enough.
"You're going to spend an hour practicing with Elias," Maillol tells Carissa. "He's going to throw situations at you where Keltham runs across something we've been hiding or sees something he shouldn't, you're going to come up with excuses, fast. If they involve you saying that you've got to talk to me before you can figure out what you're authorized to say, that's not great, but Elias won't hit you." Ferrer's sickening fake smile vanishes. "Any time you start saying too much in front of Imaginary Keltham and making up excuses that are any more complicated than they need to be, Elias is going to hit you."
