[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]

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.

[blackasday]

You seem to be coping well considering how scrawny you are. I'm almost impressed.

[regulus]

--I'm not scrawny!

[A lie, and a rather obvious one at that.]

[blackasday]

Except for the fact that you are. Tiny and scrawny.

...Like a girl.

[regulus]

Shut up! I'm not anything like a girl!

[blackasday]

You're exactly like a flat chested girl.

[regulus]

I'm not in the least bit feminine, thank you very much!
