"The weather seems to have turned again," Lucius commented as they ate, glancing towards the tall windows. Even with the windows bare it was still quite dim inside the breakfast room, though not dark enough to light candles. A very small fire had been lit in the hearth to starve off a chill in the air "I do miss eating outside in the winter." Lucius never particularly enjoyed formal meals, especially of a political tone. Food was for enjoyment and comfort, not for scarcely eating whilst the other man allowed his own dinner too cool over political dialogue.
They had a simple meal of baked potato and filling. It was nice to be able to simply enjoy a meal with Narcissa. Over the past few weeks their relationship seemed to have slipped into an easy interaction. Presently Lucius wasn't wearing the disguise of Elias Yaxley - he had greeted Narcissa in his own skin.
"Have you read of these arrests?" he asked her, "the Prophet and the Ministry really are determined to vilify anyone not pro-integration," he gave a sigh of irritation "hardly surprising when those against it are relying upon out-dated insults to muggles, and childish injury." The Death Eaters had done their share of indulgent torment of muggles, though their persuasion techniques were rather more sophisticated. Pointing out that the Ministry were villainous wasn't enough, not when the Ministry had an extensive range of their own methods.
