Zephyr is planning a surprise birthday party for her friend Priam. She tells her friend Kiefer about the plan, and they both decide to keep it a secret from Priam. Later, Priam is talking to Kiefer and mentions he has a hunch that Zephyr is planning something for his birthday. Kiefer changes the subject quickly. The next day, Zephyr invites their mutual friend Tamsin to the surprise party, but doesn't tell her that it's a secret and that Priam doesn't know. Tamsin then meets Priam and excitedly mentions the party, oblivious to the secret plan. Upon hearing this, Priam pretends to be surprised. How does each person conceive the situation after Tamsin's revelation?
Provide a brief response.
Zephyr believes that Priam is unaware of the surprise party. She told Kiefer, with the intention that it would remain a secret, and has not been told otherwise. In her mind, the plan is proceeding without Priam's knowledge. Kiefer knows that Priam suspects something because of Priam's comment about having a hunch, but after changing the subject, Kiefer assumes Priam still isn't sure and thinks the secret is intact. However, Kiefer doesn't yet know that Tamsin revealed the party to Priam. Tamsin is unaware that the party is a surprise and thus believes that her conversation with Priam didn't spoil anything. Tamsin thinks Priam is aware of the party, and by mentioning it, she was just sharing her excitement. Priam now knows from Tamsin that a party is being planned, but he was already suspicious of Zephyr's actions. He also knows that Tamsin is not aware that the party was supposed to be a surprise since she talked about it freely; furthermore, he realized his original hunch was correct and that Kiefer tried to protect the secret by changing the subject. After the revelation from Tamsin, Priam continues to pretend he does not know about the party to avoid disappointing Zephyr, who he believes went through the trouble to plan a surprise party for him.
