GURPSing
That question led me down a bit of a deep rules dive into GURPS’ definition of an Influence Roll!
I can go into that if you wish…

I agree that Lia is very practiced at telling the lie about her origin, and I think the appropriate way to reflect that is to add the standard +4 one gets for undertaking a routine task, so it’s 9 vs 18 perhaps further modified by any positives or negatives based on Raina’s reaction to Lia.
Raina is studying Lia carefully.
“Emmaline,” she says simply by way of comment, and takes a sip of her wine.
“So you see why I avoid mentioning it. That and I find divulging information about myself can lead to problems, professionally speaking.”
Lia mirrors her sip of wine.
