His brow lifted in momentary understanding, and then Caradoc released a long breath. He had assumed her behavior was due to his temporary disappearance earlier in the month, though whether or not it should be existing as an issue... that was something entirely different.
Caradoc had not told Emmeline about his run-in with Therese Bonaccord, so that certainly didn't leave room for enlightening her about the activities he had partaken in afterward on Therese's behalf.
The thought that Emmeline would not take kindly to his French journey, which included breaking into a Ministry prison and murdering an inmate, had not occurred to him; it was irrelevant. He supposed he should have let her know he would be leaving, and to not think much of his lack of presence, but that would only have led to questions and looks, neither of which Caradoc had wanted to deal with. It was... he did not wish to speak of it.
"Right," he drawled after a few paused moments. "Well, the quicker you get over it the better." Caradoc shrugged slightly as he spoke, and paid no attention to how... callous and hypocritical Emmeline would view his words. Regardless of true they rang to his inner thoughts, he knew they would set Emmeline off into breaking her silence. This silence of hers would break and they could finally move on from this little blip.
So, in preparation for her backlash, Caradoc crossed his arms over his chest and leaned to rest against the doorframe.
