[ Severus is privately surprised that he wasn't worried about her judgment. At this point, he thinks she's probably here to stay.

He's not sure when that happened. ]

I suppose if I have 'experience' it's just very uneven. [ This is not so much a joke as just trying to brush off the gravity of admitting all that. Severus doesn't want to dwell on it; he doesn't want to get into the details, he doesn't want anyone to know who it was, he doesn't want to discuss working girls and how women he paid just to make sure those weren't the only experiences in his head were kinder. ] Even if not for that, I never had time. And I wasn't exactly sought after.

[ Understatement of the century. ]

You have, though. Been in a relationship.

[ Because she seemed so surprised. ]
