oo1. [Accidental Video]
[The video feed clicks on with a wet, sopping sound. The sound of waterlogged fabric slipping along itself. There's a resounding thud as the figure crashed to the floor. It's hard to see, at first- whirling, obscuring robes, collapsing in on itself, water flung off of fabric and skin and blurring the camera.
Black, waterlogged hair, clinging to soft, pale cheeks. Gray eyes, visible just for a moment, before the boy convulses on his hands and knees, retching, emptying murky water from his mouth, his throat, his lungs. The water tinges pink; blood stains at his lips. He trembles, shakes, screams, and the weight of his wet cloak overpowers him, drags him down into the ground his nails scratching bloody marks into the floor as if he's still drowning. There's only a flash of his left forearm, but the traces of a tattoo should be burned enough into the memory of anyone who cares to recognize it.
But this isn't about Regulus Black being a Death Eater, it's about Regulus Black being dead.
Or- close enough, anyway.
The feed goes black after another long moment]

What d'you want to do about him, Sirius?
[ Thank Merlin for bloody awful family tapestries or she wouldn't know what Regulus looks like. They were useful for something. ]

[He stop for a moment, contemplating what he wants to say. The last few years his relationship with his brother hasn't been the best, especially since he ran away from home. They were close before Hogwarts, but once he was sorted a rift began to grow between them. And now, in the eyes of the Black family, he wasn't even his brother anymore.]
He's still my little brother. Even if he tries to curse me the moment he sees me, and I can't say I'll do much better...I have to at least make sure he's alright.
