Anya, I...family isn't perfect, but they're your parents. They love you. They want you to be happy. And we don't know that they would be upset with you. If anything, they might be worried and try to fight Father if he tried to pull one over on them! And even if they believed him, somehow...they'd forgive you. Heck, they're a spy and assassin, they should know and understand where you're comin' from!
You gotta believe that, Anya. They're not gonna abandon you like that!
[He just hopes she might feel some of his hope-or maybe it's desperation. Who knows at this point.]
