"Really," Eddie repeats, without any hint of reluctance in his tone, neither on account of shame nor thinking he won't be believed. Oh no, this is great stuff. "I've made no secret of it, here. The game is different, and I'm on my best behavior, with my inconsequential job and all that.". He snrks, shakes his head, and keeps walking.

"Yes, and it would also be completely understandable for them to keep that secret, seeing as how that is a strong advantage, in and of itself.". He says this with a slight smile, instead of pressing this further, to indicate that if the man is lying, the possibility has occured to him. He's sure he'll figure it out, either way.
