Al squashed down a sudden hot sensation at dad's easy dismissal of his private life after he emerged from the pensieve. It's taken him faster than I expected. Did he review everything?
"I'm sorry it's an inconvenience," he said, collecting his memories from the pensieve to take possession of them once more. It would have been a bigger inconvenience for me to revisit verbally the sessions. I suppose it's selfish.
He stared at the basin, collecting his reason. Grasping at the solid base of logic to keep him from saying something rash. Especially now.
He looked back to the center of the room. At Severus. At Dad.
At Severus. I'll need your help. Al didn't say it aloud. Not yet.
He looked up at Dad, "I believe you now have everything you've asked for and have accomplished everything on your list for tonight. I'd like to talk to Severus now. Alone. Can any further discussion be postponed, please?"
