It was still difficult to know how to read this woman, even after over twenty years of acquaintance. Mercurial at the best of times, her efforts to make amends for her earlier unpleasant behaviour continued to throw him off.

Today he was too tired and too worried to be able to make the effort to try and read ulteriour motives into her offer.

"You do not need to send any home with me, but I will take a healthy measure now," he said wearily. He did not take the offered chaise - it was impossible for him to let his guard down so completely in front of almost anyone, and surely not here in this house. Instead he took a chair near the fire which had often been his repose.

"No offence, Narcissa," he said, knowing she might easily take offence at his blatant refusal to accept her graciousness. "If I allow myself to sit over-long, I am likely to fall asleep. I would rather be at home before that happens. This is sufficiently comfortable."

He glanced over at her and raised his brows inquiringly.

"This has been very difficult for you. How are you holding up?"
