Two Phases

[lupusnonfacit]

I just wanted to thank everyone who spoke with me the other day. Listening to all of you kept me as calm as I needed to be until Ronald came to rescue me from the cold. Your concern and interest was greatly appreciated, and I hope that we can continue speaking in the future. I'll re-pay your kindnesses

No, I was faking it because I enjoy turning myself into a stagnant blood pinata simply to distress people.

[lupusnonfacit]

You realize of course that referring to yourself as a stagnant blood pinata will distress people, Severus.

I won't ask personal questions related to it again. Regulus Black, the situation is the same for him? Are Harry and the others aware?

private -- warded

[eduronox]

Perhaps if they're easily distressed. Regulus laughed.

Oh, quite. And they're very aware. It's something of a widely known fact for them that he is who he is and that he's dead - apparently Sirius made mention of it, among other things.

As for myself, I was less than lucid when I arrived. I might have said some ... relatively unfortunate things while I was disoriented, rendering keeping it a secret null.

[lupusnonfacit]

It distressed me well enough. You could have been a bit more clinical for the benefit of those with sensitive stomachs.

I don't feel comfortable discussing Regulus in this fashion. I suppose I'll take any questions for him up with the horse's mouth. Talking to you like this makes me feel like a bit of an avoidant sneak.

What else has been rendered null as a secret which I ought to know about, might I ask?

[facesdeath]

I've been informed that I'm to talk to you about being a stagnant blood piñata.

private -- warded

[lupusnonfacit]

Well, don't I feel like a patsy.

private -- warded

[facesdeath]

Well, it's not really a secret.

[lupusnonfacit]

No, I mean the two of you Slytherins snickering about me. I can't complain. I set myself up for it, and I more than deserve it beside.

I only want to know, what do you think I should know?

[abinitia]

I'll have you know I do not like this mutiny.

[lupusnonfacit]

Mutiny?

[abinitia]

Well, I've been talking to Severus, you see? And I've come to realise that all the people here that I know from being in school with them are now older than I am. I'm the youngest. And by that I also mean less learned in the ways of life and such.

And I find it bloody unfair. I worked a lot to be first. Not that it was important, mind, but now even little Black knows more than I do. Spells and such.

[lupusnonfacit]

Are you asking me for lessons, Lily Evans?

[adamantined]

What, discriminate against British people? I hope not, since you outnumber everyone except people from Japan like 10 to 1.

[lupusnonfacit]

No, although I thank you for your very informative and brilliantly accurate, I'm sure, piece of statistics information, Claire.

I'm talking about sick people.

[adamantined]

Hey, I'm just doing my job as someone who knows these things.

You're sick? You don't sound sick, just... British.

[lupusnonfacit]

What other kind of useful things do you know that you can share with me? You shouldn't hold out, after all, I need all the good help that I can possibly muster.

Should I sound sick?

'Tis true the city doth open her arms in welcome to us all. Those to whom I have spoke already have been most kind in advising, though I fear I can not be so much aid as they in pointing thee toward employment. I know not many of the city's places as yet.

[lupusnonfacit]

Well, you're much better off than me. As I know none of this city's places yet.

[tender_juliet]

The beach and the gardens only, and the fountain where first I arrived. My cousin is watchful and has approved few escorts for me as yet. But the gardens are most beautiful, and I am sure they would please thee!

[lupusnonfacit]

Oh, there are gardens, really?

I love gardens.
