But seriously, it may be better to go the Act Normal route. Try to hold a regular conversation, and when that inevitably fails, tell your friend-apparent that things are not quite right. Y'don't have to tell him everything just yet, mind, but at the very least an I haven't been feeling very well since this morning might be warranted.

Arthur wipes his hands on his overalls and asks Anna how she is.

She goes ahead and says that she's not feeling too well, honestly, but it's not that bad. Hesitating a little, she asks whether he liked the, uh, the, thing she gave him yesterday?

Arthur did like it very much, apparently, and it's by his bedside right now, though perhaps he should move it to a better place.

Anna nods vaguely and makes a nice comment about his garden or something.

Arthur nods vaguely back, then mentions that he was going to ask whether Anna could help out tomorrow setting up for the festival and stuff, but if she's not feeling well...

Anna quickly says that no, it's okay, she wouldn't mind helping out.

Arthur says okay.

Anna says okay.



Anna suddenly asks if the butler dude's around and why isn't he helping with the garden right now?

Arthur shrugs and says that Winston went out just a while ago after picking up the phone. No idea where he went, really, maybe he had to pick something up.
