Lucius stops short, a glance from one Narcissa to the other, as if maybe assessing exactly how much trouble either of them are worth, before commenting, primly; "Is there an echo in here?" But he does go for the tea, if only for something to do rather than aboutface out of the kitchen in a fit of social awkwardness. Rodolphus' stare is felt rather than met, hunkered against as opposed to challenged as he might have done a few years ago.
