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.

[ 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. ]
