While the idea of looking into Chris's eyes from a scant few inches away isn't exactly a hardship, she's not sure she has the self control not to make it weird. And they're friends. So.

If I brought you in here and hit you with the candles and chanting right out of the gate, you'd know what's up. I gotta ease you into it. Boil you like a frog.
[He just nods, settling again, though his smile is still very much in place and probably evident in his tone] Oh, true, that does make sense. But, see, you also messed up by telling me the plan, because now I'll be on alert for it.
[It's definitely a tease, and he's hoping it's an obvious one because he doesn't want to mis-step here, because they are friends, and he doesn't want to say anything that will actually offend her.]
