[He shrugs, polishing off the last of his coffee as he works out how to frame this.] I cocked up the apocalypse, sided with an angel, and killed another demon in a... way that demons aren't supposed to kill. They tried to execute me, failed, and I put the fear of — me, into them. So they'll leave him alone for a while, I hope.
[This is not the entire truth.
He's revealed the full truth to very, very few people. It isn't anything personal against Anne, he just knows how easily information can trade hands, in this place, and he can't risk it, on the slim chance that someone like Hastur or Beez shows up.]
