[ It's an awkward request - for her at least. She's mentioned it in passing to her siblings of course, along with an elbow jab here and an ear flick there whenever someone says something that result in a lot of questions for her later on, but Chuck is different. She's never even seen him before, knows him only through proxy, and here she is asking him to lie for her. It shouldn't sit right with her, but what other choice is there?
She stares at the floor a little longer, scuffs her foot lightly and then turns to carry on with the tea. It gives her something to do, at least. Hopefully avoid any questions, because she still can't quite explain why she pulled the human act on arrival. Safety, maybe. Wishful thinking, more likely, but for whatever reason what's done is done. She told the lie, maintained the lie even when it got very difficult to uphold at times, and these days it's slipping as things become more dangerous, as she hears of people going out and getting injured and wonders where she'll draw the line, where she'll finally step up and take some responsibility and deal with her actions.
Not any time soon, certainly. ]
Thank you. It's- well. I won't bore you with the details, but thank you. It'd...complicate things, I'm sure you can imagine.
[ Finally she's done with pouring and dishing out sugar - sorry Chuck, she didn't actually ask before dumping a spoonful in there, and there's certainly nothing closely resembling milk in the house, but she's sort of focused on the topic at hand. She looks a little more comfortable when she turns around again though, slightly less nervous at least, and she holds out the cup towards him as she cups her own, apparently not bothered by the heat. Warm water ain't got nothing on angel juice, after all. ]
Last I checked, he's not made a secret of being something other than human, but only a handful know the details. Very vague. Smarter than my cover apparently, less details to keep up with.
[ Like trying to explain how the two 'men' you live with are actually your brothers - Anna hasn't touched that one with a ten foot pole. ]
