"Temporary truces seem to be the done thing here." It's taken him a few months, but he's almost mended fences with Sirius and he'd hate to have to go back on that and take sides. As a gesture of almost friendship, he's asked the other wizard to help him learn how to be an animagus. (Nothing can go wrong with this plan.)
"I suppose that's it then. Unless you've anything else?"
Honestly, this has gone on a bit longer than necessary; Severus didn't expect that weird bit of sharing, but he did say he's been here for a bloody year. Maybe he just hasn't had the opportunity to tell anyone about getting his nose broke by his father and godfather and needed to wordvomit at someone, anyone, even the man who his mother didn't choose. Merlin only knows what that'll accomplish. Surely there's someone on this ship more well-equipped for feelings.
Severus stands up and nods once, then turns to leave. Harry knows where to find him if anything else comes up.
