Re: Inside the Greengrass Estate
Lyle blanched a little, a far cry from the relaxed demeanor he had assumed on Severus' initial appearance. It was one thing to be courted by the Death Eaters, and to somehow manage to turn them down while keeping one's life. To have something the Dark Lord specifically wanted...Lyle couldn't help but think that was a much more dangerous situation to be in. Perhaps his past reluctance had been more unwise than he originally thought.
He hoped that, whatever this thing was, that he had it and could provide it easily. To fill the silence, he cleared his throat and shifted in his seat.
"I see. I am sure you know that if I do have this item I will do my utmost to ensure that the Dark Lord receives it."
