Summary
Here's the problem with Minbari.
Because they don't want to outright lie, they're accustomed to getting around it in the most marvellous of ways, all of them perfectly honourable despite being genuinely deceitful in action. Some Minbari have a tendency to lie by omission. Others misdirect through facial expression or feigning some tell. Still others go just shy of an actual lie by remaining in the space of nuance, that the listener infers incorrectly through their deliberate ambiguity. Things can mean many things simultaneously; nowhere is this truer but the religious caste. Marcus thought himself well-prepared by the Minbari priesthood for these little Minbari tricks.
He ought to have taken a lesson or two from the warriors, because as it turns out, they can be just as bad.
