Think it this way: you're a wolf and want to bluff by doing something you would never do as a wolf. When someone suspects you of it, is it better for you to say "I would never do so as a wolf" or wait till someone else says "He would never do so as a wolf"? The former is more suspicious.
Now, you're a newbie wolf. You might be suspected if you said "I did it just because I'm new, no-no I didn't have any dark intents," but if you suggested subtly that it might have happened because you're new and don't quite know how to react to different situations, it would be easier for people to believe it since it would feel more like they had come up with it themselves. What struck me as suspicious in Ilya was how she looked like she was consciously and carefully trying to use the less suspicion-raising manner.

Do you get my point?

I get it, but Boromir is better at explaining it.

Notice, for general reference:

There are wolves, I promise. I picked them out myself.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Or maybe I didn't pick them out myself. But they do definitely exist. That part's definitely true, I think.

Sure you don't want to plead the fifth there Fea?

However we are working on the basis they exist - known knowns to us at least. To you they are known unknowns - unknown unknowns are at the Moddesses' discretion.

Agan makes an interesting point here. Ilya seems a bit too smooth for a newbie, I must stay. Now I'm not saying that new players automatically suck, but she's been too smooth (smooth? maybe just well-integrated) for a new player. It worries me a bit. I'll have to take a good look at her at some point, but for now I'm going to just keep an eye on her. (And by at some point, I obviously mean as soon as I get a chance)

Haven't you written every book relating to WW?
