Owl to Regulus Black

[austenianhorror.livejournal.com]

My dearest Regulus,

I would like to meet you shortly to discuss a matter of utmost importance. My mother and I, committed absolutely to insuring the future of our world, would like to begin a joint venture. As you and I are not yet married, I would like to ask for your assistance. Your involvement and your name will lend us the weight we need.

Yours always,
- Victoria Higgs

*Victoria's capacity to invade Regulus' privacy is truly remarkable, her letter arriving just as he has begun to undress to take another look at his knee now that he has made it back into the country. He had patched himself up fairly well before leaving Albania considering his limited prowess at Healing, but the joint still looks swollen. He is so exhausted that he can hardly stand and the tapping and the pair of eyes staring at him through the glass nearly puts an end to him. He steps hastily back into his trousers and lets the bird in with great reluctance. His own owl hoots softly in greeting from it's cage in the corner, but Regulus tries to ignore them both as he scans Victoria's hand and pens a response. He feels it watching him, gathering humiliating data about his skinny pale limbs and sea salt course hair to bring back along with his reply, and he lets it go with a short word to from now on, please deliver all post to the kitchen.*


To Miss Victoria Higgs,

As you know, I find your and your mother's enthusiasm to uphold the moralities you do to be most admirable. I of course cannot assure any public involvement or patronage without first discussing it with you and hearing your ideas, but you have my support. I look forward to speaking to you further on the matter once I have taken care of some business of my own.

Please excuse this short reply to your request, I returned from a brief stay at the Summer home this evening and it is later than I expected to return.

Sincerely,
-Regulus Black
