[ Severus hadn't stuck his head out to see who had entered as there was only one other besides himself that the wards he had meticulously set up would freely let through. He was in the little kitchen getting himself a cup of tea. A flick of his wand turned it into two cups charmed to remain warm on a platter that sent floating out into the sitting room. ]

Quite unsurprisingly, yes. I was not compelled by the urge to go anywhere after you left for your own outing, which I trust went well. [ He followed after the tray, which set itself down on a table. He had been reading the whole time, his book on the armchair. ]

And here I thought me leaving would give you a chance to go gallivanting through the whole city or find a way to torment my son. [ She made her way into the sitting room to sit on the chair that wasn't occupied by his book. As she sat she shifted the kitten within her jacket to accommodate the change in her position and there was a tiny mew of protest. ]

[ He had sat back down, one cup of tea transferred to a little table by the armchair, book in hand. ] It is still early in the week. [ He stopped reading almost immediately after starting, book lowering enough for him to look at her. ]

... what was that?

[beautyinothers]

Well - Severus - there was something I wanted to bring to your attention. [ Carefully she pulled the kitten from her jacket and placed it on her lap. It stretched and yawned, tongue lolling out and it hopped off her lap and started to look around the room. ]

I adopted a kitten.
