"Lucius, I am busy. What does the Dark Lord wish now?"
"It's nothing like that, Severus. I only wanted to know ...," he trailed off. His features were haunted; a desparate yearning filled his eyes.
"Know what?" Snape said coldly.
"If we ... you and I ... well, if you still respected me after my incarceration. The others don't."
