It was too much to take in at once. She latched onto the most important bit, the most crucial thing he'd said. "Draco is not bound," she repeated. But also: "Draco is not here ... ?"
Even more important than her beloved husband was her precious, angelic, perfect little boy.
No Dark Lord here, but Grindelwald ... ? That might be worse. She could not know or say.
She had to trust Severus, as she had done before. No other viable choice presented itself, and she was tired and afraid. Tired and afraid, but she could not allow despair to rule her. She had indulged shamefully in self-pity already. Lucius would have been shocked at her behavior.
"I will need to bathe," she said, sounding more like herself. "Then I will be pleased to join you."
