SpoilerI think I need to explain what Vexmagog is doing a bit more clearly here, because there seems to be some confusion. He's consciously altering the throughput of certain sections of the brain to do his illusions, not the actual light or sound waves or what have you. So Blitz's ears are still interpreting the same input and sending the same signal to the brain as everyone else's, it's just that on the way Vexmagog changes that signal to something else. Vexmagog is actually speaking the women's language, his vocal cords can handle that. It's just that he's making Blitz's brain interpret the sounds as him saying something else. So Blitz should see Vexmagog's lips fail to match up with the words he's speaking, so he knows that he's the only one that's hearing this, while the women don't hear any of what he's saying to Blitz and they see his lips match up. However, Vexmagog isn't altering Wolf's brain at all, and doesn't even seem to know he's there. Wolf should only see and hear him speaking in the women's language.
Sorry if that was confusing. To put it simply, he's actually speaking the words that he says to the women. He's making Blitz hear those words as other words. Neither the women nor Wolf hear the words that Blitz is hearing, and probably don't even know he's doing it. Blitz can see that his mouth isn't synchronized with what he's saying, so he probably does know he's doing it. Hope that clears it up.
On another note, is Wolf just mad about lying in general? He would have heard Vexmagog asking the women to please not kill Sen, and even if he did hear what he was saying to Blitz, he'd hear that his attempt to kill Sen earlier was a result of his giving in to Magog more than he would have liked to. I'm confused about where he's getting the "He wants Sen dead" thing from.
