[Assigns Kanda as knowing Yuffie's name by now. He glances at the barrier, then turns towards the bulletin board instead, so they can look over people's profiles.]
Cloud [woah another name... this is easy because he knows what a cloud is] said the same thing. The big spirit guy or the hot woman, most likely.
at that, Lavi frowns, because he's thinking back on the last insane nine hours of trial and checking Karlach and finding nothing but Hand Evidence that could very well have been related but he hadn't pressed the point,
more importantly, he looks at the profiles and then at Kanda,]
[HE'S SLOWLY LEARNING... but whether he uses them or not is a different story
Also, he could explain that they narrowed it down based on the fact that Karlach and Iwatooshi are so much bigger than Lavi and those near his height, that the ponchos probably would've been uncomfortably tight on them as opposed to simply a little too loose on Lavi or any of the others--but it is still affection week, so, thoughtlessly:]
MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THAT FIRST!!! because Lavi understands logic and rationale, being the sort of person who is very rational at all times (not), and he'd appreciate evidence being laid out like that point blank. a part of him expects it -- or at least something along the lines of 'are you even strong enough to rip out a heart'. instead, he simply says the words 'i'd know if it was you', and something in Lavi uncoils, something a little like a front, and maybe more of himself than he'd like to admit.
anyway he puts his hand on the board next to Kanda's form, for once using the little bit of height difference to lean over him. usually, he'd be slumped or leaning, minimizing himself, or acting in an idiot way that makes him seem smaller to everyone's eyes. but now, he straightens, smiling.]
[HELLO? WHY ARE YOU LOOMING OVER HIM YOU CARROT he looks annoyed by this]
Some things you can't lie about. Even you.
[He may not know about Lavi's proficiency in weapons, or the true depths of his thoughts and emotions, the ones that belong to some other name that Kanda will probably never hear--but he's seen how Lavi fights. More than once, he's entrusted his life to knowing where Lavi will be and how he'll act on the battlefield. Even Lavi has reflexes and instincts, giveaways that Kanda is sure he'd notice, even with the minuscule amount of effort he put into helping.
Also I just think it would be really funny if it was you and he was so confidently wrong]
there's a beat of silence as Lavi Looms Over Him, his smile ever-present, but there's something sharp in his gaze at that. it's like the stupid part of him is like 'HUH? I CAN LIE ABOUT ANYTHING?' and the other part is like 'oh the fear of being Known',
and then he grabs Kanda into another hug because this is still affection week, squeezing.]
[this is so sad.............. he puts his hand over his eye to boohoo, but he peeks through his fingers to look at Kanda, still standing here with him.......

Lavi hms at that, as the pyre in the distance looms larger.]
Yuff and I talked about it a little -- said whoever fits the big poncho's probably the culprit.
