"Indirectly, I suppose you would say." Amarissa answered warmly. "I am studying integration for the Spanish Ministry." She gave it out freely and easily. It wasn't something that either Ministry had tried to hide in the slightest. It had always been out in the open. It made sense to try and conceal it from Kastra now, when it was working precisely as it was supposed to : as a cover up for her work with the resurrected individuals.
She felt uneasy being stopped next to Kastra, but she made sure to keep her body loose and relaxed. She couldn't show any hesitation, any flicker of uncertainty. She was usually fairly at ease with people, and any change in mannerism could tip Kastra off to the fact that she knew precisely who she really was.
"I am trying to quit," Amarissa said with a slight smile, holding up a hand as she shook her head. It would have been easy enough to lie, except for the fact that she had smoked in front of the other woman before. Accepting her cigarette seemed dangerous territory to Amarissa. Who knew what magic could be laced amongst the contents? After all, she had once tipped Veritaserum into Sirius Black's tea to gain information. It couldn't work quite like that with a cigarette, but there were other spells that could be applied to it.
