Lucius is inclined to fall back on manners as well, although there is more intention in his stare -- raising his defenses seems moot, if this younger alternate is going to be so accommodating. He paces into the kitchen but doesn't go to sit down, moving more along its periphery with the occasional, gentle click of cane touching back down upon hard ground. He hadn't figured out exactly how to deal with this part of things.
He hadn't tried to think about it at all, actually. It couldn't be stranger than Narcissa.
It is.
The liquid moonshine that broke over his shoulder is still visible where it stained his neck and jaw in glowing spatters, but at least the collar of his shirt does something to obscure the worst of it. "If this is usual, I would hate to know what constitutes as strange, in this place."
