Muggles were loud. That is what Regulus decided as he grabbed hold of Sirius’ shirt for what was probably the fifth or sixth time since they left on their adventure. He'd tried not to because, despite what Sirius said, Regulus wasn't altogether certain that being ten was okay with his brother. He wanted to be brave and interesting and cool, but he was Regulus and not Sirius. The muggle part of London seemed loud and startled him a little more than he was willing to admit.

It wasn't all bad, though. There were some interesting things. Like toy cars. They were very tiny and ill-suited for people, but that was apparently on purpose. There were also boxes with tiny people inside (or so he assumed), that Sirius told him was called a 'telly'. He wasn't a all sure how they managed to get so many people into such a small box, but he was sure there had to be a way. He would have to ask Sirius about it, but right now he was distracted by this park of amusement. He wasn't entirely certain what was so amusing about it, but it was supposed to be fun. Sirius had promised. So far, however, it just seemed particularly loud and bright.

Moving closer to Sirius, he peered around at the other people. They didn't seem worried or bothered by all the noise. Still, he wasn't used to this many people and he didn't know why everyone screamed when they were supposedly enjoying themselves. "Are you sure they're having fun? They keep screaming." His voice was quiet, but loud enough that he was sure at least Sirius could hear him.

Sirius had no intentions of explaining the future to Regulus unless he asked. It was hard to do so, given that he was only operating off of the information he’d been told as well. It’d been strange to tell Remus what Remus had told him not so long before, and he wasn’t really interested in being the cause of more sadness for the little one at his side now. He knew it was probably hard enough to handle the fact that he was so at odds with their mother. The rest could wait, hopefully for quite some time.

He watched Regulus examine the options, pretty open with whatever it was that Reg actually chose. The whole point was the show Reg first that he could have fun with him regardless of their age difference. It was also to show Reg the muggle world that he’d forever heard was so terrible. He wanted to prove to him that the muggles were honestly very lovely and not so different. He looked to the ferris wheel, nodding. “Sure thing,” he said, taking Regulus’ hand and leading him to the queue. There was another ride before they could load into one of the little compartments, but soon they’d settled in and pulled the safety bar over their laps. “I guess you like heights? Since you enjoy climbing, I mean,” he said as they waited, lifting bit by bit so that each little compartment could be filled.

For the most part, Regulus didn't really understand muggles. His parents told him that they were dangerous and bad and he was supposed to hate them. He didn't question it because his parents wouldn't lie to him. All he really knew about them from further inspection was that they were loud and drove in cars and shouted and had these amusement parks. None of them had tried to steal his magic, though. That was one thing he noticed.

When Sirius took his hand, he squeezed it tight and followed after him. He was a little nervous about the ferris wheel, but Sirius would make sure he didn't get hurt. Sirius always made sure. He sat quietly in the compartment, hands holding onto the bar. He only thought about the possibility of how many other people might've touched them afterwards, which made his nose wrinkle a little. Oh well. He could wash his hands. "The girl me said we played Quidditch and I don't mind heights. We wouldn't be afraid of them if we played Quidditch."

The higher they got, the more Regulus could see of the area around them. It was strange to see everything like this. "They look so small," he said as he looked down at the people walking around. He still didn't understand why people had been screaming.
