[Adequate Boxing Day recovery requires tea, a good book, and a comfortable armchair in which to curl up in. Regulus appears to have supplemented his own experience with nicotine, and the Room has offered up a plate of biscuits which he has yet to touch. All of this, unfortunately, has done nothing to stop him from looking as though there were lumps of coal in his Christmas stocking.]

What absolute rot.

[regulus]

Well, don't talk about my mother like that in front of me, then.

[He'll be opening a vial to have a taste.]

--Not like good quality tea, mind you. But still nice.

[blackasday]

...pity I was right.

[regulus]

Were you hoping it was vomit-flavoured?

[blackasday]

Maybe just chilli flavoured or something. Don't look so serious, Reg.

[regulus]

That's just how my face is.

[blackasday]

You can smile, I've seen it before. You don't fool me.

[regulus]

Don't have to if I don't want to. [Now he's just being contrary for the sake of it.]

[blackasday]

I'm not afraid to tell you bad jokes until you smile.

[regulus]

If I can go through a Christmas party without smiling, I think I can endure your jokes without cracking, too.

[blackasday]

I don't expect you to smile due to humour, only to make me stop.

How does an Eskimo get to work?

[regulus]

...Isn't that a form of torture?


No idea, Sirius, do tell.

[blackasday]

You just need to smile to end it.

Bicycle.

[regulus]

Yes, but you're forcing me to do so.

I don't get i-- oh. Merlin, Sirius, that one's just awful.

[blackasday]

Let's just see who'll break first. And I know; awfully great.

Why didn't the dead Slytherin fight in the war?

[regulus]

I may need more firewhiskey for this.


[Sigh.] Aside from the obvious, why?

[blackasday]

Drink then, make merry.

Because he didn't have the guts.

[regulus]

On the other hand, I could just use a silencing charm on you and save myself a hangover.

[blackasday]

--Didn't like that one so much then?

[regulus]

...M'not fond of cucumber.

[blackasday]

Drink more, they tend to get better the more you consume.

[regulus]

Are you sure you haven't just been lucky and only had the good ones so far?



--Toast and jam. I'm still holding out for a cake flavour.

[blackasday]

I more meant that the alcohol makes them more bearable...

[regulus]

You mean one gets so intoxicated, they stop caring.

[blackasday]

One does.

[regulus]

--Ugh, peanut. I'm not very sure this is a wise thing to do. I had been trying to recover from certain festivities.
