Correctly reading that Merrin looks more fried by her twelve-hour medical emergency than like she's following along with all this perfectly, he'll mention that it's not really important for Merrin to execute her Sparashki masquerade perfectly.  Exception Handling didn't do all that for a reason.  It's just that, if Exception Handling only did things that made sense, it would then be far too easy to infer the true states of affairs in Civilization by looking at Exception Handling's actions and asking what background truths would make their actions sensible ones.
