[ Cassandra much prefers it when those she questions are eager to tell their story. It's not uncommon. Some are truly innocent; some believe they are, or at least believe they can convince her that they are. Others know exactly what awaits them and wish only to remain defiant as long as they can, almost proud to detail exactly what they'd done. The result is the same. She gets the information she needs for her reports, is able to make a definitive judgement on their guilt or innocence.
But there are many, many people like Ellie, so reticent that dragging the truth out of them is like pulling teeth. She doesn't enjoy it, but she's become good at being patient when necessary, at prodding the subjects along until they tell her what she needs to know. She raises an eyebrow. ]
