[Bellatrix holds a cup of wine in her hand, swirling it around absentmindedly. The events of her recent foray into...adolescence still occupies her thoughts. Dinner with Norman is a distraction, and she actually took the time to look presentable. As more time passes between her stay in Azkaban and the present, she is beginning to look more and more like the woman she once was at the height of Voldemort's power.

She forces herself back into the moment, taking a sip from her glass and leaning against her chair.]

Is it too early to ask why you brought me here?

[osreborn]

Not at all. [ He gestures amicably with his hand, pouring some wine for himself. ] It's been a while, I know. But I thought it couldn't hurt to catch up.

Really, I thought we could talk.

[ He sits back and sips his wine. ]

How are you?

[pureblood]

As fine as the situation allows, I suppose. [She frowns at her glass.] You must be aware of the recent...de-aging incident.

[osreborn]

Indeed. Did you suffer from it? [ Almost rhetorical, he did pay attention to the network, but -- ] That must have been inconvenient.
