I didn't know I had a twin!
Who: Regulus and Regulus "Paul" Black
What: They're going out for coffee, cause Paul is obviously nuts.
Where: Somewhere in London
When: Just as soon as Regulus finds the lobby
Warnings/Status: None/Started



Coughee. Regulus had never had that before, but Paul said it was a drink and something from the Gods and the boy really just wanted to take his word for it and not test it out because he couldn't see the appeal in such a beverage. Unfortunately for him the cot like bed he'd been given as a temporary sleep place was unbearable because the room he shared was also inhabited by five or so other people. People he didn't recognize and people that smelled funny. Really funny.

And they snored.

It was a bad place for him and sick really, sleeping didn't make any of it go away either because it was hot and stuffy and he as sure that he was beginning to smell like his fellow rifters, as he'd started calling them, and frankly it wasn't appealing. But now, now though he'd got his chance to escape it for a bit and that was through coughee with Paul. Regulus had to get directions to the lobby from three different people on his way out and most of them looked just as confused as he did but he made it some twenty minutes after telling Paul he was on his way.

Now where was he? Regulus scanned the room for a face and landed on one that looked particularly familiar. He bounced forward, bubbling with curiosity and quite eager to be out of St. Mungos even for a little while.

He got close enough to stare harder and stare he did.

"Whoa."

"Fantastic, I'll do sidealong because I'm likely to trip and splinch or something terrible," he said mildly and shrugged. Regulus gazed at Paul and quietly adjusted his own stance to mimic the man's, just a little straightening of the shoulders and a subtle re-arrangement of his facial expression, but that was killed by the ridiculously happy attitude he constantly adopted. He broke into a smile at nothing in particular and canted his head to the side.

"The one I came from was really bad," he said, his cheerful tone suddenly tainted by dark and bitter things, indeed his eyes even seemed to lose their normal brightness, dimmed at the presence of his memories. "A lot of mean things happened to a lot of people, mostly good people.. I had a brother, I say had because.. well we didn't get on well at all and he was sort of.. the favorite," he said lowly, then seemed to shrug it off and happily bounced forward again. "So where are we going?"

Yeah, the kid was going to have an awfully hard time imitating Reg if he kept smiling all the time. Smiling was something Reg had almost forgotten how to do - unless he was giving fond grins to old books.

But that was more like Reg - that tone of voice, that look of trauma. Surprisingly, the familiarity made his heart ache. He so wanted better for himself, and at least when the kid was smiling he could believe it was so. "Mine was bad too," he said softly. "But I was the favourite." Realising that he might have said too much already, he hastily tried to smile - it looked and felt so weird, on his face - and took the boy's arm. "You'll see," he said, and Disapparated.

They appeared in a surprisingly clean alley behind a rather posh cafe, and Reg started walking around to the front, already more relaxed to be away from St Mungo's and so close to what he truly desired. Nectar of the gods indeed.
