Alright so there were times in which Zacharias' attitude frustrated her. It was not very often, but it happened. For the most part, she could take most of his nonsense in stride and usually she did not comment on the things he did to ruin his life (though she had to admit she had been a bit tetchy with him when he'd gone and let himself lose all his inheritance all because he was unwilling to find a bloody girlfriend). They would dance circles around one another before admitting much of anything, like that maybe she actually cared about his well-being and she thought he was being entirely idiotic to not let anyone else know what exactly he'd been up to that night and get some sodding help in getting the Aurors off his back. They were watching him so closely they probably knew every moment he wanked and he was just eating it up so far.
"No, they really aren't. Like the fact that you can't walk five bloody meters without someone watching your every step, hoping you slip up and finally and reveal just exactly what did happen." She sighed. "I honestly hope you've got the right idea here, Zacharias, I really do," Marietta said quite seriously, letting slip a bit of her own exhaustion from the past few days. It was a rare moment for her indeed, but there were times like these between them every now and then in the past that they chose to ignore for the most part.
