He's always been a prick, as far as I can tell. Claims to be a lawyer, but watch any discussion he has about legality. [ No further comment necessary. Severus has only a limited awareness of muggle legal systems, but even he can tell there's something wrong with how he talks about it.
But-- on to something a bit more grave. ]
Something happened to him on the colony - that he didn't deserve. A dark wizard from some other world went after people. No one deserved it, even him. But Black new, and as far as I can tell, didn't help.
Instead whatever he said to him resulted in him cornering and attacking me. He's a telekinetic.
[ This though, stills her: her inhale is a little sharp, thinking about the capacities of a strange dark wizard that could and would do that to groups of people, and she sits up like Severus can see her and it means she's paying more attention. Elladora stares at her grumpily for the disturbance but doesn't meow; Lily doesn't speak for a moment. ]
He's a telekinetic and just attacked you out of the blue on someone else's word. [ Furious. Absolutely furious. ]
He cornered me to demand I stop running a campaign against Black. [ Who, for those of you following along at home, Severus had recently saved from death TWICE at the time. ] I tried to leave, he wouldn't let me. Threw me into a wall and gave me a concussion and cracked ribs.
[ Flatly. That happened. ]
He lost his mind after, I spent no less than an hour sitting there unable to leave while he had a panic attack.
[ Normally something like a panic attack would draw sympathy from her but now it just seems... Not pathetic but farcical, like an attempt to gain sympathy after attacking a man for nothing at all. ]
Let me guess, nothing has been done about him, since he's still around being useless and presumably dangerous as well.
Mm. [ Preaching to the choir, Lily. Not that Severus doesn't appreciate - on so many levels - that she's of the same mind. He's just been dealing with it for over half a year now
(hahahaha oh fuck has it been that long, yes it has)
Quite. [ And that's what worries Severus, despite his spiteful, dark humor at some of it. ] I was letting it go, there's no bloody way Black knew what he was doing that early into the incident. What else are they hiding?
Mm. No bloody idea. [ Unseen but perhaps slightly audible, Severus scrubs a hand over-- half his face. He gives up halfway through the movement. ] Maybe he's just a nutter. I hope so.
[ Truth be told, Severus isn't all that fixated - he's got his grudges, iron-clad and horrid, but these idiots are very out of sight, out of mind for him. Despite that, it's a relief to vent every so often. He usually just bottles everything up and explodes every so often. Space has helped. Weirdly. ]
[ He hopes she already knows, but just in case. Severus remembers months ago telling himself he wasn't going to engage her, that he had no right to and that distance was for the best. He knows he's weak, but he can't help it. Not with her. ]
[ Distance may be for the best, objectively speaking. However true or not though, it isn't happening that way and it's likely not to in the future, either. He's a part of her that never truly went away and she's not about to let him slip through her fingers when they've something like reconciled. ]

[ Sooooooo. He's skeptical of anything having been done. Tyke obviously likes him if he's still around, bleating that he's 'second in command'. ]

So. [ Exhale. ] He's probably covering for Black.

[ A breath. Everyone is stupid, when did this happen. ]
He isn't even good at it, his damned announcement just made everything more suspicious than before.
