Who: Juno & Regulus
What:: Reunion
When:: Thursday morning
Where:: Juno's
Warnings:: TBD

To say that Juno had gotten a little emotional when she'd awoken to Regulus' message posted on the boards after the previous night's outing with Sirius, to their mutual distraction, might have been a tiny bit of an understatement--but she told herself she wasn't going to cry. Or at least that she would get the waterworks out of the way before Regulus got there. Kreacher would probably go into enough hysterics for everyone, once Regulus made his way back to his own flat.

She'd managed to stop her face from leaking, and was attempting to make herself presentable while she waited; patting her eyes with a cool washcloth, fixing her hair--which was sporting particolored, temporary streaks after her bout with cabin fever--and putting on lip gloss. She hadn't used the marshmallow flavored one since Reg...but she didn't finish that thought because she didn't want to get all red and blotchy. Yes. The marshmallow would be nice, even if she had promised to look but not touch. She could do this.

Regulus wanted to crawl under a rock and block out the world. Visiting his brother had been a mistake. He felt... well not worse because he was having difficulty feeling anything, but his assumption that no one really wanted him here was confirmed. They might all say it, Sirius' good will had lasted all of fifteen seconds, but they didn't mean it. Would Juno be the same? Could Regulus go through that also?

The only thing that propelled him to her door was the memory that she had found him that night Severus died, had tried to be there for him and her efforts had only been thwarted because his brother was being a sphincter douche. Juno had called his brother that, for his sake, well, and he was sure it was for hers as well, but all the same.

He paused at her door, not knocking right away. He could still back away, send a text about this happening some other time... He finally knock, short and sharp. Would he have to just walk in to find her as well? He leaned against the frame of the door while he waited and closed his eyes. Which may or may not have been a good idea because he suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to sleep. He knew if he tried to lay down sleep would not come, like drinking water to quench a thirst that stubbornly refused to be sated. But standing up against the frame he could probably do it.

Juno had exited the bathroom and was pacing around the apartment, kneading her back with her fists, and telling herself she had no reason to be so anxious when she heard the knock. It startled her, and she let out an equally short and sharp--if wordless--exclamation; surprised that he had actually knocked instead of just apparating himself in like he'd gotten in the habit of doing.

"Sorry!" she called, in case he heard and mistook her surprise for something else. Hurrying to answer the door, her first eyes lit up at the sight of him, then clouded with concern as she tilted her head to study his face. He looked...wiped. But that shouldn't have come as any surprise. He'd been mostly dead all week. "Reg? Hey. Come on in."
