Normally that would have had Orestes laughing, but the feeling of dread over him was more powerful right now. He just shook his head at them both. He knew they were doing their best to make a tense situation less uncomfortable. He appreciated it, but he needed to get over this feeling on his own. That didn't mean entirely alone without anyone around, because that would be mad. He just grunted as he took a small sip of his beer.
He nodded in agreement, "I've got a couple things going for me at least." He wasn't entirely sure if Hermione would agree to staying with him permanently. He wasn't about to mention that aloud because he felt it was between him and Hermione and should be kept private, no matter how much he trusted Electra and Pylades.
