"I am. I'm Regulus-" Regulus started to say. But he'd come close enough to see who it was and he... well, he didn't know what he felt. Because on one hand, Lily wouldn't torture him. On the other... the only person Regulus wanted to see from his world was Kreacher.

"Oh, it's you," he said, he couldn't even muster the disappointment. His voice was just a matter of fact. A death and then a week with the forest people and his outlook on the world had drastically changed. "I guess it could be worse than you."

He had a late growth spurt!

Regulus made a face at the dig at his height. And yet, even as it rankled him, this could all still, it could be worse. Literally. The Dark Lord could be standing in front of him, ready to torture him for eternity. So the comment only rankled him a bit.

He went back to the bottle he'd left on the desk and took a drink. Bottles were quite easy to conjure. Wine was more tricky, but he'd had lots of practice before coming to this place. So it was rather decent stuff. Then he picked up a lit cigarette he'd had propped on a broken and empty spine of a book.

"I see you're still a know-it-all," Regulus said back to her.

He cast her a half irritated look that was really only ire directed at himself. Before he'd died, before he'd staked his life to take a stab at the Dark Lord, before he'd broken himself in service to that same Dark Lord, he would have sneered at Lily, spat cruelty at her in forms of vicious words, made her leave him alone. That was the way that was taught to him growing up. But after all his experiences, plus arriving here, a stranger amongst strangers, Lily's vaguely familiar face was better than the voices taunting him outside the farmhouse walls.

So the look faded, and nothing more cutting slipped his mouth.

Regulus raised an eyebrow at Lily. She still remembered his name, interesting.

Regulus knew a few things about Lily and Severus. They'd been friends once. Severus had a massive hard-on for her. And then the 'lake incident' happened, and the two stopped being friends. And then for some unfathomable reason, Lily had coupled up with James Potter. He knew Severus still felt something for her, but there were things you just still never talked about with Severus.

Not many in Regulus and Severus' circle even cared enough about Severus to notice that summary of the history of Severus and Lily. But Regulus did that. He picked up little pieces of information like dropped puzzle pieces and tucked them away.

Regulus stuck the cigarette in between his lips, grabbed the bottle, and found a place against the bookshelf to slide down to the ground where he picked up another book to flip through.

"I don't know how Severus is doing," Regulus said. "Because, well I am here and, well-" Regulus gestured around them, as if to say Severus was not here. He took a drag on his cigarette and turned a page to look at a different rendering of the night sky.

"I didn't think you still cared about him. Not after you ran off and married the person most likely to gut him."

Regulus casually took another drink from his wine bottle as Lily, agast, verbally spewed objections at him.

"Huh," he said when she was done. It clicked for him just a little bit faster. "That's interesting."

It really was, but Regulus didn't want to think too deeply about the implications here. He wondered if this happened to others who shared a 'home'. What was time when space was irrelevant?

"Autumn, nineteen-seventy-nine."

If Lily was too wrapped to notice he'd already given away who she'd marry, then Regulus wasn't going to burst that bubble for her. He'd let it just hit her one night when she was thinking back on the apparently astounding claim that she'd married someone in such a short time. Regulus had always known his mother was planning his marriage so he'd always felt rather blasƩ about the topic.

He looked at her pityingly, but in a judgmental way. "The war started well before you left Hogwarts. But..." he shrugged. "I guess the Minister of Magic didn't recognize it until around that time."
