"I will use utensils," he replies. Though he's amused if she does-- really, he's never been the most culturally adaptive, and that's fine by Snape.
But he dishes things up, gets a little bit of everything to try. He pulled out a chair for her before he handled his own seat, and sat, always careful-- never one to roll up his sleeves to dine. Not like she hadn't seen the tattoo-- but it was still something he'd never display flagrantly, no matter how intimate the company.
"I find that you'd be wrong. Most of them don't give a toss, and that's fine by me -- they don't have my counsel regardless," Snape replied, as he began to go over his food. "We had a child appear from our world appear in the City. He foolishly made a message to the Network, since I didn't have the forethought to search him and take his bloody communicator. I came back to accusations of kidnapping, despite that he'd been handed off to a friend of his family's already before I'd ever vanished."
Snape did not, really, find any of this amusing, but it hadn't come to much, so he didn't worry about it, either. So he missed nothing in the Skrullfest, really. He'd seen it occur over the boy - accusations thrown and people thinking with their hearts. People lost their minds over anything emotional, and Snape loathed it -- somehow considering himself immune when he was anything but.
"The problem, though, is the boy is a pawn in the war. I'm uncertain of how ugly it will become, but rest assured-- it likely will become most unpleasant."
