[ There's a minute widening of his eyes at that news, caught in not being certain of how to respond before Snape is low-level sniping at the Security taskforce. I'm sorry seems like it'd be a stupid thing to say. Everyone dies, eventually.

He drinks some magic beer too. ]

Their jobs must be frustratingly uphill, we mustn't be too judgemental. Forever corralling an ungrateful flock of surly captives from getting themselves killed.

--Brink of death, surely.

I've never put much stock in any powers that be. [ Governments, authority figures, self-proclaimed leaders. He'll accept accolades as it suits him because he understands political games and he values his cards in that game, but he still finds most of it offensively stupid. ] In theory what they're doing is an admirable effort but in practice...

[ He shrugs. They're giving literally anyone access to training, authority, and deadly weapons. Severus thinks it's awful and has zero respect for any of them - and he would feel the same even if Sirius wasn't involved. His shrug also seems to cover the 'brink of death' comment; he didn't say it to try and shock Charles or get pity, even though there's no other reason for a normal person to say something that morbid. In his head it's more like he's sharing because that's what people do, right? And the idea of his own mortality doesn't frighten him. He hasn't said that to anyone besides Charles, and he hasn't even asked Harry for details - Harry might not even know that Severus caught all that and made the (glaringly obvious in his opinion) correct connections. ]

But you don't want to be involved running the ship anyway.
