But sometimes he wonders if maybe Bellatrix isn't more paranoid than her master. She's something else, after all. He almost doesn't bat an eye, when Regulus confesses he might've killed her. Almost.
"I'm glad you didn't," he tells him quietly, "Would've been even more cross with you if you'd put yourself into more danger for my sake. Reg, you tried to warn me. You kept her from killing me and you helped with the pain and you didn't Obliviate me. Merlin knows what else you've been up to or were up to that night-- Did y'do something with her Cruciatus, too?-- That's plenty. You did more than enough, and I'm okay."
