Orion watched as Narcissa ordered the house elf about. She had learnt well and that pleased him. Walking with her into the palor he gave her arm a slight squeeze. He let out a small laugh at what she said the Nexus was doing. It reminded him of what was happening in his house to a certain extent. "That must be rather annoying, I know it is from what is happening at home. Do you still play? You were always amazing at it," he said truthfully.
The parlor was exactly as he remembered it which he was glad of. He wasn't sure if he could take too many changes today after all that hd happened in the past month and even today so far. He heard the portraits whispering about him and held back a growl. They should know it was impolite to whisper about someone when they were in the room no matter that it was complimentary. He knew why the were leaving and he was grateful for it.
"Thank you, Cissy," he said as she kissed his cheek again and then settled down onto a chair by the window. "Oh, if it is anything like what I am feeling then I am afraid I do know exactly how glad you are," he said in a solemn tone teasing her.
