Woah. ( Woah is an understatement. She looks perturbed, glances down, rubs her thumb over his knuckles again. ) Can they be contained?
( It all sounds cruel. They're both part of and related to each other. Family feuds were the worst, especially with random Biblical leanings. )
This is all pretty Old Testament, you know? How do you guys like... deal with the idea of Jesus Christ? Who was he supposed to be in your -- uh. Order?
( It's the most prominent figure of Christianity she knows, and while part of her remembers learning that the Old Testament comes out of the Jewish faith and the Torah, and is related to the Islamic faith as well, the Order thus far seems more Christian than the rest. Which is weird and something she's uninformed on in specifics, but knowledgeable in generalities. As it invades so many levels of American culture, it's not too surprising.
So of course, expect her to ask the insensitive questions. )
Or angels. Where do angels fit in?

Um, right, is that why you're with the Order? I kinda doubt everyone on your Earth knows about the Noah. It probably makes people easier to trick, in a way, but it keeps them from being afraid of like, fourteen people all their lives. I guess.
( Secret invasions going on for longer than anyone wanted to believe. Hidden inside normal seeming people.
