Rodolphus narrowed his eyes at Amycus when he said that, not out of anger but honest confusion and after a moment of staring he groaned and leaned back in his seat, rubbing his hand over his face. "Amy!" He crooned and unfolded himself so he could lean closer to him despite their distance and he repeated himself, very slowly, "I said if we were not on the same side I would kill you. Key words being if we were not on the same side. Since we are on the same side that means I will not try to kill you which is why I'm currently not regretting my decision against maintaining a bath tub filled with dermestes maculatus. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The fact that Amycus refused to go into specifics about what he did with Bellatrix was more frustrating than his unwanted house guest trying to prove he was tough. He wanted to know. He also wanted to know what it was about Amycus that Bellatrix liked so much. What had they talked about? Had they talked about him? What had she said about him?
