[ She could go somewhere. She could vanish at a jump, or never return from wandering out in the hallways, or a dozen other strange ends that unravel into this ship. But Severus knows what she means and it's a little bit scary, honestly. Not all bad, if we're sticking to the notion that he's letting himself have snippets of a life he wouldn't be permitted to have otherwise.
He squeezes her hand and leans back a bit, head nudged against hers slightly. He'd probably kiss her if they both didn't taste like death, as humans of all types are prone to in the morning.
(What a stupid thing to think of as probably universal, Severus.)
He doesn't know what to say, but he hopes she understands how much he appreciates her. ]
