Always sunny in the rich man's world

*Money is certainly not something the Black family is in any danger of running out of - particularly not when the heir of the household rarely makes extravagant expenditures. At least - the heir of the household used to never make extravagant expenditures. However, in the past few weeks, Orion has watched as bank statements have poured in. Watched as hundreds of galleons have trickled out of the vault. Watched this without the slightest trace of alarm and only a trace of suspicious amusement.

It's rare that anything Regulus does would incite Orion's curiosity - in fact it rather seems like his son goes out of his way to prevent inciting anyone's curiosity - yet, presently, the invisibility act has failed, and Orion lies in wait, ready to sort out this new mystery.*

Quite practical. And it won't be for terribly long, just some initial payments.

Well.

*To alleviate the casual scrutiny coming from his father, Regulus serves himself as he speaks, taking picky portions and placing them on his plate just so.*

It's more of a shared investment.

*For someone as reluctant to keep up a conversation and share information as Regulus, it is a testament to Orion's powers of silent persuasion that Regulus almost immediately elaborates against his will while he arranges his green beans.*

Or a contribution, really.

...I think it's rewarding when it's for something appreciated.

Father? Are you - concerned by the amounts?

[identity profile] spindleform.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
I considered if it was the best thing to do, of course.

But ultimately a few payments on a small flat is a reasonable gift to someone you trust. I'd say.

Only until he's accepted a job and can afford it himself.

His father is quite insistent that he learn the value of money, but I shouldn't like him to be homeless until he does. That doesn't seem necessary.

Father, Barty isn't a crook or a drunk.

*Orion gets a subtle but disturbed look sent his way over Regulus' green beans as his son takes matters all too seriously, as always.*

If that's true then he hardly needs to be homeless, that would only make the matter worse.

It's a gift - not a loan...

He won't need it forever, you act as though he doesn't have prospects.

*Regulus considers this as he takes a bite, to give him polite time to come up with a response that sounds more trusting of his friend and more suitable for speaking to one's father than 'So do I'.*


I'm sure he'll settle on just one. Even if he would, perhaps, prefer not to.
