Re: Hannah and Snape
Severus understood her awkwardness. Merlin knew he suffered as much and more in just trying to manage ordinary social situations. How much worse was it in a place like this where nothing was as it should be.
"That is very kind of you." He knew she had no reason to care for his contentment or lack thereof. Severus gave her a little smile.
"And now, I'm afraid, I've used up my store of polite social conversation." Though Narcissa would never have classified such bluntness as 'polite' nor especially 'social'. "I hope you'll feel welcome to seek me out should you have need of anything I might be able to help with."
Because socially awkward or not, he really did want to learn to get along in this new environment.
