Regulus appears to have acquired a shadow. Care to explain?

[grim_smile]

*lips curve slyly*
Am I my brother's keeper?

[hismagdalen]

No, Sirius, you're not. He's come along exceptionally well without you around to bully him. I see you watching him. I won't let you spoilt it.

[grim_smile]

*sneers*
Oh, yes, indeed. I see exactly what he's got up to. Come along well, you say? It's interesting how you and I can come from the same place and yet see things so very differently. *fixes her with a level look* For whom, exactly, would it be spoilt?

[hexed_gideon]

*mildly amused*
No code name for you brother, Sirius?

[grim_smile]

*arches a brow*
Very sorry, but I thought that Glitterboy Black might be taken the wrong way.

[hexed_gideon]

*grins*
Clearly, as that you would be you.

[grim_smile]

*clearly amused*
Do you think so? I wasn't aware I had that particular air about me. Seems more your thing, really.

[viridigitus]

You know, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, Black. There are far easier ways to get people to do what you want than discourteous words.

[grim_smile]

*dryly*
Giving free advice, Yaxley? How charming. I wasn't aware, however, that I'd asked for any.
*tilts his head*
What that discourteous enough for you?

[viridigitus]

*unimpressed*
I take it back; not discourteous, just spoiled.

*shakes her head*
Amazing that you come from the same line as Bellatrix and Narcissa, still, I suppose mutations must crop up somewhere.

[grim_smile]

*lifts his chin, laughing quietly, fingers resting casually against his pocket*
Mm... You say that as if your opinion matters to me.
*satisfied sigh*

So very true. Strange, though, that it managed to hit both of them and fly right past me. A very close call indeed. What would you say the odds are, hm? *pulls out a cigarette and lights up one-handed, squinting at her as he draws on it*

[favourite_son]

*is deliberately late, trying to look casual as he approaches*
You should be lucky that I even considered coming.

[grim_smile]

*turns, flicking away his cigarette and blowing out a last cloud of smoke*
Should I, then? But you are here, in any case. That is, provided that I'm not hallucinating.

[favourite_son]

Of course. It wasn't the politest of requests. It's a good thing that I'm feeling generous, as I really can't think what could be so terribly important.

[grim_smile]

*raises his brows*
Are we so concerned about politeness? If I'd begged your pardon and bowed and scraped you only would have thought it was a trap, wouldn't you? *small, crooked smile*

*resettles the shoulders of his cloak, improving the hang of it*
There are many important things worth speaking about; I'm sure you know that. There is only one particular one that concerns me now. *looks at Regulus for a long moment, a strange expectancy in his eyes*

[tatty_cardigan]

This can't be good if you're meeting in secrecy.

[grim_smile]

*eyes narrow a bit*
Should I be taking out adverts in the paper that I'm going out to meet my... brother?

[tatty_cardigan]

Don't narrow your eyes at me, Sirius Phineas Black. Is it such a crime to be concerned?

[grim_smile]

*frowns*
I don't believe I said anything of the kind.
*airily*
I know what I'm doing and you're not going to talk me out of it, so you needn't be concerned. *meets Remus' eyes* Alright?
