"Come, then at least let me see you home." They can move that direction - that doesn't mean they can't make more stops along the way. "If everyone should have someone, tonight only you can make do with me."

Unexpectedly, it draws to mind for Antonin a memory of the two of them as much younger men, coming home after a particularly messy raid. When he let Rodolphus clean up at his flat, Antonin hadn't asked whether he was trying to spare Bellatrix worry, or keep her from being put out that she hadn't been with them. (In fairness, he probably hadn't needed to ask.) It had seemed like a bit of a lark, at the time, just some bloodsport to let off steam and then his friend home to the missus. Now it's almost incomprehensible to him apart from the blood.

He finishes his current drink and refills both glasses for Rodolphus' "last."
