Yes, practically just about the last person I have any interest in spending time with under present circumstances is my commonly sanity and sense deprived sister-in-law, thank you very much.

Not that I'm hardly telling you a thing you didn't already know of course. I imagine that's why the idea so very intrigues you. No doubt.

Whatever you are thinking forget about it. Just -- let it go. Aren't there other things you're supposed to be working on? Not that I'm of any preference for those, either, but. All things in good time.

You really do need to work on your orderliness. A little work ethic hardly ever killed anyone.

Dear unholy lord, this place is CRAWLING with Malfoys!

[Sniff, twitch.] And just what are you supposed to be?

...Yep, you two are clearly related.

[Wait do they mean--]

What are you talking about?

I take it you and Narcissa Malfoy are related? She was about as friendly.

[Not the name he was expecting to hear. All bets are off now, for a moment.] You've had occasion to speak to my wife? When? Where? Is she--

[Abruptly he twists in place as if anxious she might walk up behind him at any moment.]

Wife, huh? And I met her through

maskormenace. Freshmeat. There was someone else there she seemed to know. Didn't see his face, but she called him "My Lord." Don't hear that a lot on this world.

They don't respond to a lot of barking, you'll find. Or much of anything else.

I shouldn't need to point out that insulting Bella out loud is never a good idea.

[He does his best to absorb this information, dialing it back again as he swallows what he feels down. There is a deafeated air about him, however, as he loftily avoids eye contact.]

Where ever this place you describe is I'm certain she is...fine. She must be.

After all, if ever there was a woman who knew how to take care of herself, it would be the one that I married.

I'm used to being ignored, these days. Maybe my luck will hold out.

[Said with usual icy snide humor ~~and trying to conceal that he's freaking out at a bit at having his wife so near to him just now oh merlin how he's missed you.~~]

She will be, anyway. No one's fine when they first get there. And unless her lord takes care of her, she won't be making friends anytime soon. Not with that attitude.

Shame. She seems like an intelligent, well-spoken woman, albeit judgmental as hell.

[Oh hey you. Well this isn't at all awkward.]

Yes I am aware. Most unfortunately.

She has taste, is what she is. And character.

Not that I imagine one such as you would be able to fathom.

[A sneer, showing the point of one fang as his lip curls at the corner.]

[ nope not at all, hay. ]

Bellatrix, on the other hand... [ 'nuff said really. ]

Tch. Lucius. You are the very last person I'd expect to submit to being ignored. [Her gaze is filled with affectionate puzzlement.] Are you unwell?

Yeah, and she's awful harsh to anyone she assumes is a non-human. At least, she made a pretty quick and incorrect assumption about me. I don't dare watch her with people who might have thinner skins.

[ This would be Lucius's insult going completely ignored, by the way. ]

[Uh oh. She dosesn't miss a trick though, does she; she never did, when it came to him. He avoids her gaze and turns his head to the side. Hoping against hope she won't notice anything else.

That she won't notice the fangs.]

It's been a -- trying couple of months. [Behold how much not an answer that is.]

Oh she has an uncanny ability to come whenever she is called, but only for certain individuals. Last I checked.

[Bella was ever the fanatic, whereas Lucius he was more goal-oriented. And he had...limits. Self-preservation and pragmatism comes first. Surely anyone with reason could understand.

So, not Bellatrix, then.]

You're missing out then, on what can be a rather enlightening form of entertainment. She could always make social decimation look like an art-form. Comes in the blood.

[Not often, no - and she's known him a very long time.

Turning away wasn't the best idea, though, Lucius. She might not have seen the fangs, but now she knows that:] Something is wrong. Why are you turning-- Lucius. What's happened?

[This is not their normal sort of interaction.]

After such choice words, I wouldn't be surprised if she made room for you on her dance card.

You guys sound like demons. Truly.

I'm sure I hardly rate as a priority.

[You aren't at all making him nervous right now. Nope. Not at a l l.]

[Heh.] I think I'll take that as a compliment.
