Severus gave a sigh, rubbing at his temples. He didn't know how to explain anything to the girl. She took things the wrong way, as a typical daughter would, he guessed. "I... apologize." The words were something he had never once uttered, never even considered saying, so he left them there. Perhaps his daughter wasn't treated the right way, ignoring her... boyish charm? All Severus knew was that he would at some point have to find a way to make the girl understand his intentions in regards to her actions, though it was doubtful that she would listen. The apology, even, was probably useless, since the girl would likely see it as a form of weakness, but as his daughter, she was allowed to see it at least once every few decades. "What will you be doing now?" Tone staying even, he made sure not to make himself sound insinuating.
