It was a very good point to her. Acting like that, having to do everything that he needed to do when it came to protecting Harry in Lily's memory had been him doing things for the right reasons. She didn't want him to do those things in her name. He'd told her not very long ago, that she was his redemption, and that she was his reason for wanting to be a better man.

The last thing she wanted was for him to undo his redemption, and to become a worse man for her.

When he gave her the choice of waiting, Martha watched him for a moment. She knew him very well indeed and she knew that not knowing, and not having the information would drive him mental. Clearly they needed to think of a third way to go about doing this. With her finger on her lip, Martha looked deep in thought for a moment. Was there a way to only be Severus for a moment? To not engage in everything that she might request? To not put himself into danger?

"Are you feeling any lingering effects from whatever that was?" Slipping a bit into doctor mode, because if it was effecting his health then it shortened their options considerably, Martha reached over and touch his cheek, trying to see if he had a fever.

How she wished she'd a scanner.
