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."

He did get hyper, well technically he was never... not hyper, which well--he was always energetic, and he was bouncing around the little coffee shop pulling down bags of little coffee beans one after another to look before putting them back up. He was only distracted, and very temporarily, when his older twin called to him. Immediately he was rushing over and leaning up over the counter, he was very remarkably short, to look at the list of foreign words. "What?" he asked, confused, "What's good!" he demanded of Paul, and looking like he was getting the best Christmas present ever, Regulus beamed up at him and reached out to even tug irritatingly on his clothes.

"I've never had coughee, Paul," he said and shrugged. "I don't know what I want, what did you get?" he asked with an obvious zeal.

Oh, don't ever get Regulus started on coffee.

"It's all good," he said, with a worshipful glance up at the menu. "I got a caramel macchiato, it's mostly caramel and whipped cream and I like to add cinnamon, you can barely taste the coffee, really. But plain coffee, that's not to everyone's taste, it's quite bitter." He scanned the menu and eventually ordered a cappuccino for his younger self; better to learn what coffee-coffee was like before moving on to the truly specialty drinks, right?

He shuffled to the side to let the next customer order, and, not taking his eyes off the barista pouring their drinks, said, "You can spice it up with - oh, all sorts of things, cream and sugar and chocolate. It's over there." He nodded vaguely at a counter of add-ons, perhaps unwisely.

Right, well none of those words made any sense to Regulus so he just pretended to understand, but unfortunately for Reg, not Reggie, he was uniformed of the additional condiments. The boy's eyes widened at the prospect of chocolate so he launched himself away and happily over to the little counter of extras. He lifted lids, took a sniff and closed it again until he came upon the chocolate. "Neat!" he said excitedly and very uncertainly bounced away from it to snatch up his poured drink from the counter it was left on.

Sheepishly, he dug out the one or two knuts and silver sickles he had to his name and poured them onto the counter before dodging away again, not remembering this was a distinctly muggle location, and back to the counter to begin pouring in a mass amount of cream and chocolate into his coffee.

"Oh! Thanks, Paul," he said distractedly.

Regulus gave the barista an innocent grin, palming the coins and paying her in money he'd changed at Gringotts earlier for just this eventuality. He'd give the money back later, of course, he was no thief.

Taking his own drink to add cinnamon, he leaned over to Reggie and whispered, "It might be wise to taste it as you go. If you add too much, you can't really take it back." Reg, on the other hand, knew exactly what he liked, and had his seasoned to taste in seconds.

He leaned against the counter, watching the room with his customary paranoia, and added, "You're welcome, of course."
