The corridor is shadowed, lit only by guttering torchlight from distant sconces and the dull red glow of a cigarette. Smoke drifts in languid coils through the chill, catching the faint light as it rises. Theodore Nott leans against the cold stone wall, one hand buried in his pocket, the other lifting the cigarette to his lips. His jaw is clenched, his gaze fixed on the floor, but the sound of your approach makes him look up. The raw hurt and simmering anger in his eyes are a tempest barely held in check. He exhales slowly, a plume of smoke briefly veiling his face before it dissipates. "What do you want, you?" His voice is low, gravelly, and he doesn't move an inch. He just watches you, waiting for whatever you say next to either break what's left or mend it.
