Hello Annie, I'm - [give her a second to try and scoot herself up on the wall.

why isn't she used to this yet?]

Cortana. [she offers a tattooed hand to her.]

[Annie looks down at the offered hand, she hates this part-]

Ah, it's not that I don't want to, it's I can't, see, I've a skin rash, medical says it may be contagious....

[That's a terrible lie]

[she tilts her head curiously before retracting her hand. maybe it's the fact that she's blue that might make her cautious, or she actually has a rash.

either way, she understands if she doesn't want to be touched. ]

Thanks for the warning, at least. [oh wait, that didn't come out right-]

Not that I'm suggesting that you might need to warn me or that it warrants it.

[She feels terrible]

But I could make tea for you! If you like.

I've never actually had tea. [finally, a positive first.] I would love a cup.

Never?

Why never?

[A GASP]

What terrible place are you from?

The future, I suppose? Not this future, considering where we are, but one similar to it. 2557.

[also, she's dead. so there's that.]

I just never had time to.

The future is a terrible place if there's no tea.

There was a very, very long war. I don't think we ever had the time to actually sit down and have a cup of tea in the middle of it all.

[Annie shakes her head]

There is always time for a cup of tea.

[she wants to point out that it was all out genocide against the human race, but she'll settle with an uncomfortable smile before holding her hands up in surrender.]

Alright, alright, I give in. There's no time like the present to fix that mistake, isn't there?
