[Gilgamesh pulls out a coin. Plain, nondescript, and silver, with the head of the ringmaster on one side and her insignia on the other.]

Heads or tails?

[It's a trick coin, but there's also a trick to the trick, as it were: if she asks about its legitimacy, Gilgamesh cannot lie, and must tell her about its true nature. But if she does not, Gilgamesh will win. His eyes give nothing away, and he merely waits for her to choose. He does not seem the slightest bit nervous, as he has no reason to be.

As it turns out, Gilgamesh was a marvelous liar without ever even opening his mouth.]
