"Of course." Q wilts. "I suppose I could just buy a thank you card, but it wouldn't be the same."
Q watches intently. "Are these shed antlers?" he asks, unaware of Severus' thoughts. He doodles antlers on his paper.
"No Severus," he replies promptly. "Sorry Severus. I don't mean to pry."
Q flushes at being reminded. "I'm not," he says with a bit of heat. "I don't have a grudge. I was just going to watch." He glares at his paper, daring to to say anything.
Oh god I'm sorry! *never knows what to say* That's OK. No worries.
