[[ OOC: Sorry for flaking so hard! I'll try to give this a decent possible end if you'd rather not continue with an out-of-date thread <3 ]]
Thing is, Chris doesn't even realize that there's a feeling something might be done wrong. In their mind, things went just fine -- Mrs. Underhill got food she needed, Ylva is sharing the food like she wanted to, and Chris is handling the socializing which makes sense because they know the locals. Covering for moments of awkwardness is just... something one has to do at times.
Chris would be awkward as fuck while trying to hunt, for one thing. Ylva will do much better than Chris there.
"Over this way!" Chris says cheerfully. "Oh, and by the way, if you don't want to go in the houses... the next time someone offers, I'll just say we've got too many deliveries to make. My friend Sam, the mailman, uses that one all the time."
Chris doesn't care about the little lie that 'got too many deliveries for a social stop' might be. No reason to make a newcomer, who is just trying to help people, uncomfortable by forcing her to socialize.
