[ Severus has been eerily calm throughout the entire venture thus far. Bursts of irritation during the initial planning stages were never panic, and even now some time into their hike through darkness, he remains steady - occasionally moving forward and spending hours at point casting a magic light source, sometimes keeping step with other people, as if silently checking up on them.
He is not inhuman - he experiences anxiety and worry, of course, though his Occlumency permits him to compartmentalize in a truly preternatural way. His head is ringing with the unnatural feeling of changing pressure when he walks alongside Nathan, his arms crossed over his chest, gaze ahead of them. The older man had expressed an interest in Severus 'backing him up', whatever the hell that means given his own lack of influence on the ship, but maybe he'll just feel better having a sorcerer shadow him.
For now he says nothing, just keeps pace and watches the hallway around them. ]
