Have a little more faith in my excuse-making skills. I AM Sirius' brother.

[liquidsky]

There is no shortage of your brother being on dates.

What is your current excuse? Focusing on your studies?

[snakesroarquietly]

Always and forever a good excuse. My parents want me to succeed in my studies.

[liquidsky]

In that case I'd have thought they'd want you to study something actually useful.

[snakesroarquietly]

Like you?

Don't snap at me because you're angry about your father.

[liquidsky]

...you are right. I apologize.

I'll make it up to you.

[snakesroarquietly]

I love you.

I'll make it up to you, too.

Let's order take-out and have an evening just to ourselves.

[liquidsky]

I love you too.

Good idea. I feel like touching you in ways I can't in public.

[snakesroarquietly]

I'm more than okay with that. I might want to do some touching of my own.

[liquidsky]

You're assuming I'll let you.

[snakesroarquietly]

I'm assuming even more than that. I'm assuming you will enjoy it.

[liquidsky]

Oh, you're horribly presumptuous today, Black. We'll just have to wait and see.

Wait quite a while as we walk home.

[snakesroarquietly]

I can alway

Walk?

WALK?!

Why will we be walking home? What did you do to my car?!

[liquidsky]

It's a long story.

Wait, it's not. My father is the devil.

[snakesroarquietly]

Then it's lucky you will have plenty of time to tell me that story while we are WALKING.

[liquidsky]

Just wait for the call, darling. He assumed I'd stolen the car.

[snakesroarquietly]

So? Did he take the keys?

I'll be right over. I want my car back.

[liquidsky]

Yes, he took the keys. I just left before the cops came.

[snakesroarquietly]

THE COPS HAVE MY CAR NOW?!

Damn you, Barty, I'm not letting my car anywhere near your crazy family ever again.

I'll ask Dad to take care of it. He enjoys screaming at people.

[liquidsky]

I am sorry, Regulus, but I didn't anticipate my father wanting me arrested for car theft.

[snakesroarquietly]

I know. I'm sorry. I'm angry with him not with you.

[liquidsky]

You are the registered owner of the car, so it shouldn't be any problem to straighten it out.

Maybe I can disown him somehow.

[snakesroarquietly]

That sounds like a fantastic idea, actually. I wish you could.

I told Dad, he's going to call the precinct. I think he was just glad for an excuse to get out of the room. Mum has progressed to the "house of my fathers" stage of her rant.

[liquidsky]

I'm surprised your brother is still there. Wouldn't he usually leave before now?

[snakesroarquietly]

He's having too much fun goading her.
