*Comparatively little has been spoken between them lately, unusual considering Barty's propensity for talk and Regulus' reluctance to talk to much anyone else but him. Still Regulus finds something uncomfortable enough in this explanation to force him to edit it.
He may have had Barty stay inside every day, all the while he had been gone most days and nights - to Birmingham, to old castles to search for souls, talking to Dementors whereas Barty talked to no one but him. All the same, those things were done out of necessity, all, and the alternatives have always looked worse to Regulus.*
...No one's a prisoner, that's silly to say. It's better here than the cities now, that's all.
