Eric begins to pace back and forth, contemplating things. "Arkain, I'm not sure... This--" He stops midsentence, and his ears perk straight up as he comes up with two plans at once, one for now and one as a backup. He continues after a moment, resuming his walking in circles. "Actually, I just came up with a different idea... Wendy, Gold, you two each take one Wendy aside and ask her a question that you're SURE only the real Crystal would know. Arkain, you stay here; I want to discuss something with you." He finally stops his pacing a moment later, but not before waiting until he was facing a direction that only Arkain could see, and winking, hoping Arkain would get the message that enacting the original plan would just confuse things further.
