[Guess who is a little less waterlogged and a little further away from dying now? Regulus Black looks at the screen with a faint bit of apprehension as he fiddles with it, his lips pressed tightly together. He's still wearing his old fashioned wizarding robes, but they're much drier than last time.]

...right, [he mutters to himself,] like a fellytone.

[Regulus clears his throat.]

My name is Regulus Arcturus Black, heir to the house of Black. I'm afraid my introduction to this city was a bit not good- I'm fine now.

[Pause. He's not sure what to say next.]

Can anyone even hear me? [Regulus shakes the PCD, hard. Be nice, it looks like something completely alien- not only is he a wizard from a family that condones muggle appliances, but he's also from the seventies. Stuff this small and advanced wouldn't exist for at least thirty to forty years.] I'm trying to find the library or- something else worth doing in this place. If anyone can point me in the right direction- well.

[He gives the PCD another shake, frowning. In his shaking, his hand hit the button and he accidentally shuts off the feed.]

[lmfao fullblooded wizards are hilarious.

Tom looks faintly amused.]

Settling in?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Tom didn't really tell him who he was, but did he expect him not to find out? Regulus watches him for a moment, before lowering his eyes respectfully. He knows. He's terrified. He doesn't know how to handle a seventeen year old Dark Lord.]

[There's the tiniest quirk of his lips, at that. He figured he would discover it soon enough. But Tom does not mention it. Instead, he continues on airily.]

How are you, Regulus?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

[He swallows hard. Tom must know- this must be a ruse or something. Was he being tested? Was he supposed to act otherwise?]

Better. I feel much better.

[nexmosnonlucror.livejournal.com]

Did you find your brother?

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I don't care to find him.

[Tense.]

He's tried to speak with me.

[nexmosnonlucror.livejournal.com]

Not a successful effort, I take it.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Why would I want to speak to the likes of him?

[He sounds vaguely disgusted.]

Unless- you want me to.
