[ Murphy watches the kid's face after the quick snapped denial, sees the tension in it, and maybe it's made worse by the guy's severe face, but Murphy's made a survival skill out of reading people. ]
You're a bad liar.
[ maybe he isn't from Eudio but the word clearly means something to him. But that isn't anything Murphy's going to concern himself with, as the guy didn't seem to know his origin before he showed up. He leaves it at that, and glances towards the tree in question. ]
That's fine. It's a free forest, so long as I don't wake up to you trying to knife me.
[ the words make it seem like it should be a joke but the blankness of the tone doesn't match it as much. Probably because he isn't joking. That reaction to Eudio looked like either 'pissed' or 'afraid' and neither of those bode well for him.
Murphy doesn't make a scene of it, though, just gathers up the bundle and moves over to the tree, crouching down to clear out a circle of dirt, digging it slightly inward. ]
