*knocks on the door, glancing around the corridor before he opens it - slipping inside Lucius's office, newspaper in hand*

*catches Lucius as he stands from his desk, kissing him warmly -dropping the paper as he wraps his arms around the man, pages scattering on the floor*
I read it in the paper this morning. How did you ever keep it a secret? I'm so impressed with you, Lucius.

*earnestly*
You'll make the most wonderful Minister.

[capitis_sepenti]

Yes, I am. I thought you knew that.

*looks at him flatly*
That's why you're not going to be seen.

*reclines on the sofa, smiling at him*
Tell me about afterwords, once you've won?

[imperiused]

Sometimes I forget when you are being sweet.

You are such a spoil sport. Not even a little bit of scandal? Not even a hint of it? =stops teasing him= I won't be seen. I never have been before...

Once I've won? You know that is highly secret and sensitive information, Rabastan... =grins, leaning down to kiss him= How do I know you won't tell everyone?

[capitis_sepenti]

*slips his arms around Lucius, smiling into the kiss*
If you can't trust me, then who can you trust?

[imperiused]

Anyone but you? =grins widely and presses a gentle kiss to the corner of the boy's lips=

Afterwards, then. Well, there are positions which would be better suited to people like Bellatrix and Augustus and Dahlia. So we shall do a little reorginising of the departments. Over time, of course. And there are some very confussing sections of legistlation that need correcting. And education needs a complete over-haul. You are following, aren't you?

[capitis_sepenti]

*pouts, and slings his legs round so he's practically sitting in Lucius's lap*

Yes, Lucius. I'm following.

[imperiused]

=Shifts slightly to make himself more comfortable=

There isn't that much else to it. Just a lot of careful political manovering and re-arranging under some form of smoke-screen. It'll save you from any more running around on dangerous missions, and prevent others injury, if we manage it. And once we've created a state free from muggleborns and blood traitors, then we can set about setting up my dynasty.

[capitis_sepenti]

*raises an eyebrow*
Your dynasty?

[imperiused]

My dynasty. That's what this is about, Rabastan. Keeping the power in the pureblood families, in a handful of loyal, like-minded people who will ensure society remains as it should.

[capitis_sepenti]

It sounds like it's about keeping power in your family, Lucius.

[imperiused]

Not just in my family, Rabastan, you know how connected our families are. I'm keeping power where it should be, where it used to be. With your family, the Blacks, my family. We're the ones who know how to deal with it. Power is in our blood.

[capitis_sepenti]

*regards him coolly*
A dynasty, Lucius, would suggest you wanted to leave everything to that son of yours.

[imperiused]

Or any other heirs I pick before then. It need not be my son, Rabastan. Direct inheritance is rare in empires.

[capitis_sepenti]

Oh, and who are you thinking of choosing then?

[imperiused]

You, as a matter of fact. I've written you into my will as my adopted protege already.

[capitis_sepenti]

*shocked*
What?
