[ Severus doesn't have a clear idea of what all has gone on with Charles since the jump-- since a little before it, maybe. They aren't of the same world and no matter how 'close' they've become through exposure and alcohol, they are still relative strangers. It's not any of his business so he hasn't asked and hasn't gone snooping, either. His distant respect is displayed in companionable silence in response to that text, opting out of 'That's nice.'
It's not that he doesn't care. .. It's sort of that he doesn't care. But he might care if he thought he was permitted to, and as far as he knows, their friendship (or whatever) isn't like that. ]
If you didn't bring one of those to share, I will turn you into a lemur.
[ What has to be a familiar almost-drawl by now drifts in from the laboratory entrance. When Severus isn't tripping embarrassingly through the gardens, he moves with a very quiet grace. Today he exhibits that well, clad in his usual somber black, his teacher's robe transfigured into a light coat worn over his dress shirt weeks ago.
No one's ever told Severus you shouldn't smoke in laboratories, just that he's not allowed to do so at Hogwarts. And this isn't bloody Hogwarts. So cough one up, X. ]
