So. It's fairly certain that Bella is pregnant. (My Thestral, not my cousin, for those of you who haven't been around long.) No telling how long the gestation period will be, but she's almost tragically round at this point. She looks a little like Lily, minus the whole flaming red hair thing.At any rate, I've been thinking about this, and

...Those look... interesting.

[favouredson]

Well hello there. Who might you be? Regulus Black, pleased to make your acquaintance.

Yes, I think they're rather interesting myself.

[trueb1ue]

I'm Blue.

...Are you related to Sirius?

[favouredson]

Only by blood. Have you met my wayward brother, then?

[trueb1ue]

A few times.

...You don't like him?

[favouredson]

Er. My relationship with my brother is...highly complicated. We don't get along, but that doesn't mean I always dislike him. If that makes sense.

[trueb1ue]

Oh. ...I think I understand.

So which one are you hoping for.

[favouredson]

Any of them, honestly, given the potential benefits of the choices.

[trueb1ue]

Benefits?

[favouredson]

Well. The first three would all be fairly tameable, and I can't foresee any problems with harnessing and that sort of thing. And the fourth option could eat my brother. I see those things all as very beneficial.

[trueb1ue]

Oh. So... Is this what you do?

[favouredson]

How do you mean?

[trueb1ue]

Breeding... creatures.

[favouredson]

No. I am independently wealthy due to the prudent investments of a number of my ancestors. This is just a hobby I developed because my Father's death has come with the interesting side effect that he now sends more gifts than he ever gave in life.

[trueb1ue]

Ah. I'm... sorry that he's dead.
