No complaints worth writing home about, [William says, after a moment. The stilted pause is in part due to the fact his mountainous anticipatory anxiety dropped an avalanche, and the weight off amounts somewhat to relief; in part due to embarrassment, honestly; and maybe some obscure part of him is illogically surprised that Severus is checking up on him, as it were.
We can all do with a pleasant surprise now and then.
Unpleasantly, though, Severus' appearance seems to have put him on the wrong side of the lines. Fortunately, William assumes that the professor would be pragmatically upfront about a manticore siege or whatnot; he doesn't raise panic to his cohorts yet.] The ranch ain't looking so good anymore.
