Then it was mutual. They would both stay to their side of the room and only acknowledge glances. No words, no touching one another's possessions, just a mutual place to stay for the both of them. When it came for her time to leave, he'd gladly whisk her away for any silence he could receive. It was more likely for him to stay in his office these days because of her stay, offering her the time to perhaps wander through his things if she grew curious. Thankfully, spells kept his items under lock and key. So, in reality, she really didn't have that chance. Curiousity would kill the cat if Ellie happened to peek further into his catalogue of necessities... Severus wasn't the best roommate.
'Accio...'
From behind Ellie, Severus summoned the photo It flew above her head and landed in his palms with the photo towards his chest, away from her view. "Yes," he grumbled. Blunt and to the point. As per usual, Snape was not a many of many words when it came to his own agenda. Of course, Ellie's first impression was to latch onto something personal of his, which left him rather disgruntled. The professor's cold expression remained as he moved forward towards the shelf, placing it higher than she could reach. It wasn't out of eyeshot, but it was the best option for now.
His dark gaze wandered back down to Ellie who was reaching out towards him with a worn photograph in her hand. Severus hesitantly latched onto it. For several moments he stared at the little details, observing how his sister once smiled. He reminisced on the day she spoke of her high pleasures. Meanwhile, that day for him was not the most pleasant due to the Marauder's torment. Nevertheless, the photo reminded him of better times for Sage. For him? Not so much. When did he ever get the satisfaction of true friendship?
Lanky fingers held out the photo in between two fingers, waiting for Ellie to it snatch back. "Exquisite." While vaguely sarcastic in tone, deep down Ellie's gesture and the photograph of Sage held some meaning to him.
