[ Severus gives her a look right back. Her teacher or not, he doesn't make a habit of enabling people to do harmful things. Not like this, anyway, it's too much of what people expect of him and he can't. She doesn't know that, of course she doesn't, but he thinks maybe more people should react this way to 'give me something to slice a person up with'.
Because that is definitely what her grave intonation meant, alright, he's not dumb.
Another silence happens. Eventually, with a small exhale, Severus reaches out and takes the pencil back. He turns it in his fingers, and it becomes an xacto-knife, which he passes over to her handle-first. The blade is tiny, but functional. ]
