I possibly should have asked this in the last post, but it just occured to me now, so:

Is it alright if the Foreigners don't believe the Emperor re: how the turtle was damaged? Specifically Steph is a bit suspicious, since she can only think of a few of them who could actually put a hole in the shell, and she highly doubts they would have. Or at least, would have done so without owning up to it (IE Clark).

I mean idk whether the Emperor is lying or if you guys are just handwaving that a Foreigner did it but. yes. Wondering if it's okay for Steph to be unsure.
