Severus pins her with a sharp look, no arguing necessary. Don't be stupid, his look says. The lift doors open, saving anyone from further chatter about the issue. But for the record: so many of you are getting yelled at when this plot is over. SO MANY.
He strides down the corridor to where Shepard's temporary HQ has been set up. "Obviously. Why, I can't begin to guess yet, but everything is deliberate here. Remember that, Darcy." Severus stops outside the open doors and fixes her with another look. "When you let yourself become a pawn you are no longer helping anyone but the ship."
How many, Snape? Darcy doesn't wilt under that look precisely, but she does seem to yield in some subtle way. She'll take it all under advisement, without promising not to do the dumb thing. She's just so good at doing the dumb thing.
"It's hard to know how to avoid being a pawn when you aren't even sure what the game being played is," Darcy complains. Not to Severus, but generally.
"Don't go into the hallways." There. That's it. That's the not a pawn plan. Okay? Okay.
Severus nods to her. He's busy, though - he has to go start putting out fires, proverbially - so he steps away from Darcy, turns on his heel, and vanishes.
