As you avenge this wicked deed

[wetandbothered5.livejournal.com]

~ In some ways, their motley foursome of travelers have a lot in common - three out of the four, in fact, have the same Mark on their forearms. If being apart of the same criminal organisation and working together for genocide isn't a uniting factor, nothing is. However, their former membership to the Death Eater party most certainly does not guarantee the same motivations for being there in the first place, nor does it guarantee they all left for the same reasons. Not at all.
Tension is high as the terror of being a bamboo planter fades into the past. The three ex-Hogwarts students might share the same brand on their flesh, might come from the same school and the same House no less, but apparently much between Barty and Snape has happened from the time Regulus was alive and now, and he isn't entirely sure how to act because of this.

Snape, Wesley, Barty, and Regulus have all remained camped out in the many twisting tunnels of Four to prune their shoots together in the dim until they stopped growing back. Now, with the threat of new plantlife subsiding, Regulus sits on the least pointed rock he can find and worries that Snape and Wesley's generous aid will not do anything to dissuade Barty's notorious need for revenge. ~

*Barty is at a fantastical disadvantage without his wand, having been a power to be reckoned with magically in life, he has yet to accept the fact that here he has only his physical prowess to fall back on, and really, being half-way frozen doesn't aide his already brittle form one bit - still, he's not one to give up - fumbling around in the dirt he finds a good sized rock and heaves it up, meaning to bring it down over whoever's skull happens to be the closest, unwilling to lose*

*Regulus, as it happens, is closest, and he loses his cool exterior very quickly in the face of a rock*

*rather then cracking open Reg's delicate skull, Barty thrusts the rock into his arms instead, going to find himself another rock as he speaks*

YOU WILL DEFEND MY HONOUR.

*strangely, Regulus raises the rock to throw it at the retreating backs of Snape and Wesley without batting an eye, it's only when his arm goes slightly too far back in preparation and the rock practically throws him off balance does he realise something*

But wait - this is heavy.

YOUR RIGHTFUL BURDEN. GO FORTH! AVENGE ME - WITH ME! *Barty attempts to pick up a significantly larger rock - the ensuing hernia is almost audible*

*takes a step forward but the rock has won the battle between his arm and itself, it's too heavy and when Regulus can't bring it back forward enough it just rolls off his fingertips and lands on the stone floor behind him*
