Three days into Azkaban? You're dropping me off there three days into Azkaban, with Lily and James alive, and you expect me to ever want to leave? You're completely off your rocker, aren't you?

And no, we don't need more Slytherins. I reckon Regulus and the Malfoy kid are going to be more than enough, thanks.

[horcruxed]

You're a right prat, Sirius.

[He sighs.]

And you're never going to escape.

[pooroldsnuffles]

Dementors aren't going to stop me, Regulus. Not now, not ever.

[horcruxed]

You know what they do to people who try to escape, don't you?

[pooroldsnuffles]

I never said anything about 'try.' There's not going to be a chance for failure when I make my break.

[horcruxed]

I'd hope not. Or else your soul winds up in one of their stomachs.

[pooroldsnuffles]

I spent how many years under Mother's ever-watchful eye? The Dementors haven't got a thing against the Most Noble and Constipatedly Self-Righteous House Of Black.

[horcruxed]

Don't be an idiot.

[He huffs.]

I'm going to hex you the instant I see you there.

[pooroldsnuffles]

With what magic, baby brother?

[horcruxed]

[-urp.]

...don't call me that.

[pooroldsnuffles]

Afraid to be associated with me now that I'm a convicted criminal?

[horcruxed]

Ashamed to be associated with a blood traitor.

[pooroldsnuffles]

Poor thing. What a difficult life you must lead.

[horcruxed]

It'd be a lot easier if you'd just died.

[pooroldsnuffles]

[ His expression shutters immediately, and Sirius just stares at him for a moment. ]

We'll see if the dementors grant you your wish, then.

[horcruxed]

[There's a pause, and Regulus tightens his jaw for a moment before looking away.]

-don't try to escape.

[pooroldsnuffles]

[ He doesn't look away, expression unchanging. ]

The world has bigger things in store for me than Azkaban.

[horcruxed]

You're an idiot if you believe in something so stupid as fate. You wound up in prison for life, and that's it. No amount of hope or recklessness will change that fact. It only makes it worse.

[pooroldsnuffles]

Then if it's a choice between death and dementors, you already know which one I aim to pick.

[horcruxed]

[Regulus shakes his head.]

You're a fool.

[pooroldsnuffles]

Maybe. Probably. But I knew that part a long time ago.
