I'm not- surprised or anything.

[His voice is soft, yet angry.]

But you Gryffindors have to be the most useless of the lot. Can't even band together when there's an emergency. No, you've got to split up and die separate, like a bloody herd of sheep. 's good that there's one less of you, really.

[A long pause, and he slowly gets over himself.

And because he can't filter messages and generally sucks at everything that doesn't involve spellcraft...]

Vi- I found a better table than the one we're using. A couple candles too, for light. Want to meet me in a bit?

...that sounds ridiculously cool. Oh my god, I hope I'm there.

He was the closest person because he was the only one who went out of his way, walking into danger like a Gryffindor idiot, and found you.

Grow up, Black, and open your damn eyes before he walks into the bloody lake again. I know you're an idiot, but surely even you know what it means to be an older brother.

[Regulus actually laughs. It sounds- kind of nice.]

Well, just hope I don't do anything bad. When I was seven, I banished one of the table legs because I didn't want to eat my vegetables. Took dad hours to figure out the counterspell.

Of course. [That works. Here, have a piece of information to make it seem more worthwhile, more legitimate in the eyes of the Dark Lord.] I believe a Mr. Castiel is their acquaintance, is he not?

We can get a new table.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Yes. As well as several others in the temple of heaven and the Mandrake boy.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

True.

[He likes his table though.]

I'm learning all sorts of ways muggles cope without magic here. Don't tell anyone, but it's kind of fascinating. I've never used matches before.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[snarkypotions]

Useful. But Miss Hino and Mr. Mandrake have lost some of their standing due to the most recent turn of events, whereas Mr. Castiel seems to have recently regained an important part of himself.

_{[He is more powerful. Besides, he's already pissed off Tom once before.]}

And don't turn into a pyro.

And I told him I didn't want his help and to get his ass back to a safe house.

Shut the fuck up, Snape. You have no idea what it's like to be an older brother, you lecturing me like this really means nothing.

[He's still angry and he takes in a few breaths before he's able to talk again.]

What do you mean walk into the lake again?

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I burn myself too much.

[Holding up his hand to show the little white marks on his fingers, where he'd failed miserably with the matches.]

...oh hey, unrelated note, we might be getting a cat.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

True.

[He shakes his head.]

I've been too busy to track the recent political happenings, but I'm still a little wary about getting involved with the angels.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[snarkypotions]

No, but I know what it is like to not have one.

_{[It's a lonely, painful life, even if he won't admit it in a thousand years. Besides, he had how many 'sons' during that one event?]}

He. Walked. Into. The. Lake. Again. Six words should not be that difficult for you to string together.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

...why?

[...lol what.]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Because they're amazing.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[snarkypotions]

Then don't.

_{[He's handling it. An excuse is enough for now.]}

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

They're alright.

[He frowns.]

Let's get an owl instead. They're much better and they carry your mail for you.

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

[That's a valid argument and normally he'd respond to it, but the second part is still what he's fully focusing on.]

Why...why would he do that?

[Voice || Private || Unhackable]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen him lately on the PCDs or- anywhere.

[He frowns.]

Maybe he went home?

[offline]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Too late.

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Where is it?

[offline]

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Temple.

So, you guys use owls to deliver mail?

[offline]

[the-noble-black.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I had a nice one, actually.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it?

Light another cigarette, let's share it so they last.
