[Yup, this hideous event has a hideous effect on Bella.]

The realization that I've been wrong my entire life isn't very pleasant. I admit that I've made mistakes...great and numerous. I've destroyed relationships, and I fear that they are beyond repair. But it's never too late to fix things, right? At least, I hope not.

[A hesitant pause.] ..

You've gone from shrieking harridan to simpering simpleton?

I liked you better as a harridan.

[The differences between Snape and his evil(er) self are... not especially great, at the moment.]

voice

[bestunrevealed]

I've never cared one way or another about your life or death. You're mistaking me for Neville Longbottom.

voice

[pureblood]

Oh, that's what you say. You've probably thought about ending my life several times -- loathing is hard to conceal.

voice

[bestunrevealed]

As if you could know my mind on anything.

[Bored now. Snape just sighs.]

voice

[pureblood]

You don't know the half of it. [She's just bullshitting, but whatever.]

You would think genuine remorse is tedious.

voice

[bestunrevealed]

I think false remorse is tedious. You know nothing of genuine remorse.

Enjoy lapping up the wine of your failures.

[And he goes off the comm line.]

I should hope that I have slightly better judgement than the one whom you're more familiar with, Severus. [which is why he's been keeping secrets from you. you are not his 'right hand' by choice.]

voice; private

[bestunrevealed]

[But he was, once.]

Not likely.

voice; private

[anagrammatist]

[well maybe someday when he's more comfortable with how much he knows...as useful as that might be at times...]

Is that so. Any particular reason you think so?

voice; private

[bestunrevealed]

You're young, for the first of many reasons.

voice; private

[anagrammatist]

Not something I can readily change, I'm afraid.

voice; private

[bestunrevealed]

Not as such.

No matter. It's unimportant.

voice; private

[anagrammatist]

And the others? [because even if other reason hadn't been mention, there would have to be something other than his age]

voice; private

[bestunrevealed]

As I said -- unimportant. The future is set.

voice; private

[anagrammatist]

My future is not, so long as I remain here. And I would prefer not to make the same mistakes he did from now on.

We can discuss it when we are not all currently half-mad.
