His gaze softened as she spoke. Nevertheless, he did tense slightly at the long-lost female's name. 'Elizabeth Grey,' Severus repeated in his thoughts. Truly, was it his place to comment? Though the headmaster had best interest in heart, was it an okay decision to allow Ellie to stay? To ruin the child's innocence would break his heart. Then again, his own foolish and blind-sided attitude towards the situation was already doing that. If he spoke further, more damage would be done. While he had little interest for his own feelings, he could only sympathize with the girl's situation and hope that he said the right thing. No matter if he had to sacrifice his own curiosity.
The more he longed for an answer, the worse Severus would feel. Underneath a pained gaze, a man craved to forget everything that had happened today for the sake of his own curiosity. He had buried those unfinished tales a long time ago. Having his untied endings be rooted up from the ground was one of his greatest fears.
Eventually he slipped out of thought, finding himself in a predicament. What Dumbledore rambled on about was true. The comparison was unsettling. For awhile he got lost in her words, and compared his past friend to this niece of his. A dark gaze scanned her up and down a few times. No matter how many times he looked her over, all he could see was the reflection of Sage staring back at him. It sickened him.
Trying to keep himself afloat, the frightened professor tried to answer her questions fairly. "Yes, I knew your grandmum," he reminisced back. "She was an acquaintance during my schooling." 'And the best friend to my dearest forgotten sister.' "Not necessarily well though..." There were a few moments that he could remember of Sage and Elizabeth fondly. Sometimes they even included him in their acts. Nevertheless, she was always kind to him. Despite his distaste for his sister's disappearance and his jealousy in the strength that she had, there was still hope of progressing past all of this. Ellie just happened to be the first step.
"Your mother..." His words trailed off. What did he say to such a thing without being an unintelligible mess? "If I'm not wrong-" That was rare with Dumbledore's insight. "-is my sister." That was a big leap, but he had to trust his gut that by being forward would help in this situation. "Her name is Sage, yes?" he reiterated.
