Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape put his arms around Marcella and simply held her as the carriage made it's way back up to the castle. The evening hadn't gone quite as Snape had expected or hoped but, at least they were still speaking, hadn't gotten into too many arguments, and had managed to make it back without incident. He tried to relax and enjoy these last few moments of peace, quiet, and solitude with Marcella but, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the future and he remained stiff, despite the warm softness of Marcella within his arms.
