In the group: The magnificent exaggerator. Juane has never told a story the size it actually happened. A puddle becomes a flood, a sneeze becomes a storm, and a trip to the market becomes an expedition.
At supper club: Maximus quietly quotes the true version back to him. Juane thanks him, then tells it bigger.
Juicy tidbit: According to Juane, he found the box of broken necklaces single-handedly, in a hurricane, guarded by geese. Frizzie has asked to use his version. Maximus has asked her not to.
Juane doesn’t lie, exactly. He just believes the truth deserves a better costume. The Necks have learned to divide every Juane story by about four, and the result is usually still worth hearing. Chancellor would investigate his claims if he could. Juane says the Chancellor “wouldn’t survive the details.”
