Cerrit Reading Lips

BRENNAN: You get an actual recording, which is one of the original things that Elena Tuvaris actually recorded, right? You put that in. It's a recording of an interview with a cleric of Vasselheim that is giving a comment about archmages attempting to recreate the Matron's ritual. Of course, this was taken at a gala about nine years ago in Vasselheim. You see that the the gala is clearly in Vasselheim, you can see the city outside the window. Behind this cleric who's speaking, there are three people talking: Vespin Chloras, Lacrytia Hollow and Loras of the Weaver's Mask.
TRAVIS: Mother-
LOU: But he was so cool! Cool guys don't do bad things!
AABRIA: Oh, she left.
BRENNAN: As this is cropping up here, do any of you have the ability to read lips or at least can make an attempt?
TRAVIS (CERRIT): [raises hand]
BRENNAN: Yes.
MARISHA: Yes.
LUIS: Oh yes!
TRAVIS (CERRIT): As long as it's a language that I speak.
BRENNAN: Yes, they're speaking Common, absolutely.
AABRIA: He doesn't have lips, but he can read them?
MARISHA: It gives him the advantage.
SAM: I'm going to manipulate the playback of this interview and blow it up and enhance.
BRENNAN: You see the Herald himself goes, 'Enhance, enhance, enhance.' But again, you are finding a breakthrough that might- This city is full of every arcane tome in the world, and the thing that might save Exandria is in the back of some B-roll footage of color commentary.
TRAVIS: Type code still on there.
SAM: It's like a shot of them pouring champagne flutes or something.
BRENNAN: Yeah, exactly. You zoom in. Thankfully for the future of Avalir, you see that- you are catching profiles at an angle of Loras. You notice Loras' mask on the side of his face, and Dean Hollow. So Vespin is with his back against the window, speaking, and you have a full view of his face and are able to gather what he's saying. Reading his lips, you see him talking and he's clearly reacting to something that Loras has just said. You see he's being very cavalier and says, "Well, of course, Loras, that's your opinion, and you're more than entitled to it. I don't take such a limited view of what is possible in an age of wonders. Obviously, if it were impossible, it wouldn't have already happened once. We're talking about how to improve on existing technology. The Matron's breakthrough already opened the door for all of us. Look, you should know why these things are challenging. It's your fault, in a way."
You see Loras say something you can't see because you can't get a good eye on his lips.
He's like, "Oh, come now. You haven't read the pact? You know what the Gau Drashari are about."
You see that he then says- You see there's a momentary confusion. There's a moment of confusion and he says- he looks at both of them and says, "The City of Crowns bears the Tree of Names." He says, "Oh, am I saying something you don't know? Maybe if you took a little less time flying that city and a little bit more time cracking the books you'd know this." He finishes his drink and walks away.
