How kind of you to think of me. I'd be both delighted and honoured to come and visit you. I've no doubt that you're quite capable, but you'll find me more than willing to assist in the training of your new pet, should you find that you require any help. Father was always most eager for me to watch him discipline the house-elves, so I'm sure we'll make a wonderful team.
Expect me at seven o'clock tomorrow evening.
Yours,
R.

Good evening, Regulus. I trust the journey was pleasant - and you destroyed any clues to our meeting.

*tilts his head in greeting*
Don't worry, it's our secret. Now, you must tell me about your so-called acquisition. I admit you've gotten me quite curious.

All in good time. I think you'll be very interested in my newest pet.
*gestures for Regulus to follow him, taking a key from his pocket and unlocking a door which leads down into a dark, deep looking cellar*
Reply
You're a tease, Lestrange.
*follows him, squinting into the darkness as he tries to see down into the cellar*
I hope there are no wailing woodlice down there.

*laughs softlY*
Not that I know of, no. Just one very unfortunate man.
*pulls his wand from his pocket and casts a light towards James - who is blindfolded, although there seems to be blood seeping into the tight cloth tied over his eyes*

Just as well. I had to burn my boots the last time I stood on any.
*his gaze follows the path of the light, his eyes taking a moment to adjust*
*his eyes widen when he recognises the man as James, the colour draining from his face*
*waits until he can be sure to keep his voice even before he speaks, trying to sound casual*
*with his gaze firmly on the wall beside James, grateful for the darkness*
Potter? How very interesting. Do you have plans for him, Rabastan, or is he just decoration?
Reply
*smirks, stepping down from the last step onto the cellar floor*
You know I have better taste than that, Regulus. He's a present for our Lord.

*lingers on the stairs, hiding his face in the darkness*
Of course! I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. *forces a note of disdain into his voice* I mean, Potter? I assume you've had to gag him already, just to stop yourself from killing him in the first five minutes.
*carefully*
Do you plan to give him to the Dark Lord, then? Alive?
Reply
No, but I have been amusing myself seeing how polite I can make him. He seems to be just as bad Cruciatus curse or no Cruciatus curse.
*glances back at Regulus*
Of course alive. What good is a dead present?
Reply
No, I can't imagine torture helping at all in his case. Some people are just too far beyond help. *abruptly* Can he hear?
A trophy, perhaps? But yes, alive. I'm sure that will be better. And- *hesitates* -intact?

Maybe. I think he's unconcious at the moment. He insult me at lunch time and I spent a few hours teaching him a lesson.
Intact? You're asking if I'm going to cut off his cock?
