Peranza's current thought processes would make fascinating reading from a dath ilani perspective, once the dath ilani stopped screaming, which would take a while.

She now works on an important secret project where her thoughts are being read actually quite a lot compared to just Ostenso wizard academy.  In principle, that's not very much of a difference because, even when you're mind-read less frequently, they can just ask you if you've had any bad thoughts since your last review.  Still, Peranza is very aware that somebody could be reading all her thoughts literally right now, and probably is.

One might consider that there is an obvious way to look at things where Sevar just told her that everyone's Asmodeanism is based on lies, and Keltham is going to tell them the truth, and then they'll all be executed as heretics for believing him and go to Hell and be hurt very badly.  Not eventually, this week.

Peranza is not looking there.

It's not even that she's safe if she doesn't look there.  It's not that she's better off if she doesn't look there.  She's just not looking there.  This is not a thinkable thought.  It cannot be processed.  It is detected by several early-firing bad-thought-detector pattern-recognizing heuristics, well trained by previous punishment, and shut down before it gets into her stream of consciousness and becomes a problem for her next Detect Thoughts review.

What Sevar said is causing rather a lot of early-bad-thought-detectors to fire simultaneously.

Peranza, then, consists of whatever is left.

It's proceeding in fits and starts and not uncommonly runs into all cognitive avenues being blocked simultaneously, whereupon Peranza's incipient wordless awareness that she's no longer convincing herself that she's trying to follow orders becomes stronger and stronger and more demanding until finally, in desperation, she thinks something anyways.

A more experienced member of the Inner Ring would not have put an Outer into this position, unless they wanted to cast Detect Thoughts and watch the Outer's verbal thoughts tie up in increasingly tight knots and circles of not having any available pathways for safe thinking and then, presumably, have some fun punishing them for doing their assigned task poorly.

Peranza is supposed to list out, not her own heresies for Sevar to correct, obviously, Peranza wouldn't be willingly thinking any heretical thoughts, obviously, she's supposed to look at other members of Project Lawful and determine places where incipient heresies might be (such as can be listed without damning herself) only she's also supposed to list out places where Peranza thinks she might be confused and it's supposedly okay to admit you're confused only Sevar called those lies which means everything has to be screened for how bad it would be if whoever got this report jumped on Peranza and asked if her listing that thing meant she thought it was a lie. 

Not that Peranza is allowed to think any of that out loud, either.
