"I mean, it's like we purposely being lead to here..." Alex frowned deeply, somewhat became agitated, "I just... couldn't shake the feeling..."
"Well, it was the trees that guided us here, so basically you suspicious of their behavior..." Momo shook her head, "Alex, the plant doesn't tell lies, they are not a being like animals, let alone us."
"A plant only knows of two things; consume and produce, whatever nutrient they could gain either from the water on the ground or in the treant's case, a creature's flesh, they processed them to become fruits, peanuts, nectars, and others. My ability to talk with them doesn't suddenly enable their intelligence to do any difficult feat, let alone a complex task such as lying."
Right, why human lie? Was it simply only a defense mechanism? Or we are afraid of telling the truth? Maybe we want to make someone happy? In any case, someone didn't lie because it was part of their character, but he or she did it while maintaining a complex reason to support it.
Even only a few animals could perform such a feat, and mostly either if their life in danger, or to get food.

Does the logic make sense? It's a world where magic exists tho...
