[Don't you change ONE THING about this AWESOME TAG~! SRSLY! XD]
Matthew did, indeed, follow her obediently up the stairs, and into the room, but hesitated when she indicated the window. Had she figured out that he was a wizard, too, and one who apparently still had his magic, at least? Did she, in fact, know who and what he was to the Dark Lord? He was fairly low ranking, despite his place among the Inner Circle, but still... what did she know about him? Enough to wish to kill him, by shoving him out the window? Not, he supposed, that a fall from a second storey would actually kill him -- but still, best to not take the risk in the first place!
"I'm sorry -- forgive me, mam'selle, but I have a dreadful fear of heights, I'm afraid! I mean, even looking out of a second-storey window makes me quite giddy!" And it was a convincing enough lie to his ears, at least; he had allowed the fear he felt of this young witch, and what she might do to him, to seep into his voice.
