Re: Scorpius and Regulus
"I'm sorry that we seem to have a misunderstanding. I was not given an option of coming out at all. I was given an order to keep it hidden," Scorpius countered. He could use his manners when it suited him and he left the sarcasm that bubbled through him out of it.
"I am also not giving you ultimatums. Consider it a request. You did come to me. I am not preaching family unity, nor did I suggest that I wanted to come back. Really I ask very little, just the respect that is due a Malfoy and a Black. It is nothing less than what you demand of me, and if I am to be considered family, it goes both ways. If not, I have no problems with walking away. All you have demonstrated to me is that it is your way or no way over something I'm not asking for but you are." Scorpius had to admit, he really didn't get why Regulus thought he could make demands, treat him like a lower class form of family, and get Scorpius to want that bad enough to come back.
"I'm going to spend some time with Lorcan, and then I will go back to work. Notice he really wasn't welcome here. That isn't exactly acceptance. Have a happy birthday, cousin. When you really want to unite the entire family, you let me know." He turned and started to walk away but kept his head up.
