What's the most dreadful thing you've ever experienced? Yes. Yes, tell me stories of woe so I can both alleviate and distract myself with your misery. Either that or someone give me some chocolate or alcohol or anything that will stop my hands from shaking and I'll just go sit in a corner for a little while, again.

Re- Er, Mister Black. You seem rather upset. *worried zomg!* Are you alright?

[a_royal_star]

Mister. Ravnok. I am asking questions about horrible experiences and twitching. I think we can b-both safely assume no I am not.

[viridis_vir]

*looks around* Is there...Such a-....What's wrong?

[a_royal_star]

It took away my m-magic...

[viridis_vir]

His eyes widen suddenly, face growing a bit pale. He hushes, stepping closer. "Wh-What? What did? I don't...I-"

[a_royal_star]

The thing yesterday. A gun thing. It was hexed or something. And it took it all away. It's back now.

I kept thinking the past sixteen years have all been a dream, that it wasn't true. That I was a squib or they'd gone and confused me with some Muggle child. I kept seeing their faces, casting me out, hating me. I was s-so scared they'd come after me and kill me...

[viridis_vir]

Oh Gaia, he wished he could hug the boy. "Oh dear. That's terrible! Regulus, why didn't you come find me? I would have...done..something. Oh, Gaia..."

[a_royal_star]

I couldn't. What if that man had thought something awful? And I couldn't go back to school so I just hid in one of the quiet bits here where it was safe so no-one would be able to get at me. I wasn't about to announce I was virtually defenceless.

[viridis_vir]

He softens a great deal, a hand reaching out to the other han-...shoulder. "You're alright now, yes? Y-you're...You're not...Everything is good, aye?"

[a_royal_star]

I'm f-fine. Or I will be.

It felt like I had lost part of my self.

[viridis_vir]

A whimper. "Oh darl-..You poor boy. I'm certainly glad it's back. I'm certainly glad you're back."

[a_royal_star]

Imagine if you weren't connected to your house. Or the plants. Like that. Like you've lost touch with everything. Only the reality is so much worse.

[viridis_vir]

He goes very pale. "Oh, Regulus. Is there anything I can do? I know it's over, but...That's just terrible. I'd-" die... "be really upset."

[a_royal_star]

(shakes his head) No. Not...now, no.

[viridis_vir]

He nods, simply patting Regulus' shoulder. "I'm so sorry..."

[a_royal_star]

(deep breath, stand tall, stiff upper-lip) I'll be fine.
