Augustus had just got himself a new pack of cigarettes and was damn happy about it. He had already smoked two by the time he actually left the store, much to the displeasure of the shopkeep. Augustus lit up a third and stepped out onto the street, blowing a smoke ring into the air. He was walking without paying any attention to his surroundings, wondering where the nearest pub was and in need of a good stiff drink, when he ran into a man going down the street. Augustus stepped back, surprised. He was about to continue walking when he realized he recognized the man he had run into.

"Willis, you old bastard!" He exhaled smoke from his nose. "What are you doing here?"

The chance of him meeting another Death Eater the day he showed up in this town seemed slim, but Augustus would recognize any of his bretheren anywhere.

"Damnit!" He spat the curse, glaring and barely restraining himself from striking this man, whoever the fuck he was. If it'd been annoying before, hearing his name from bloody nowhere, it was infuriating now, especially when he didn't have any idea as to who this was. So far as he could tell, Willis hadn't seen him. And just now, he wasn't in a mood for trying to draw connections.

The son of a bitch had run into him first, and then seen fit to use his name like that? The hell did he think he was? For the matter, who in the hell was this guy? "Don't know that that's your business, as I don't know who the fuck you are." If he didn't have a decent answer, Willis wasn't sure he'd bother behaving.

A surprised laugh left Augustus' lips when he realized that Willis didn't recognize him. Oh well, he should have remembered that the man had one hell of a temper and a bit of a faulty memory, but it wasn't like he had run into him on purpose. Unless Augustus had a solid reason, he would never do something so rude. Or at least that's what he said to anyone who asked.

"It's Augustus, Willis. Augustus Rookwood. We...well, we never worked together, but we had the same boss, you know."

He wasn't about to say he used to be a Death Eater on a public street, after all, but he hoped that Willis would get the message. If not, the bastard would probably swing at him. Neither would be a real surprise.

He blinked, caught for a moment between a fight and a realization, and then the recognition came. Probably should've comprehended a bit sooner, but what the hell; thinking straight wasn't high on his list just now. And he was still seething quite dangerously. Not that he was going to start anything--well, probably not; he'd have to see what was going on--but he wasn't exactly all smiles, either.

"Yeah, all right, I've heard the name." He could recall some scant mentions here and there, mostly among the Death Eaters, a few others on the outside. He couldn't remember most of these, hadn't really cared at the time. God knew he hadn't spent much time with a lot of 'em. What the hell was the use of information when you wouldn't use it? He didn't know how Rookwook knew who he was. The given connection had caught his interest, grudging as he was to admit it.
