Who: Lucius Jr and Rodolphus
What: Bracing against hurricane Bellatrix
Where: The Lestrange Cottage
When: Immediately after Bellatrix's arrival post
Notes:
Warnings: TBA if needed

Lucius doesn't waste time in following Narcissa's instruction to find Rodolphus. Luckily, his brother-in-law doesn't have a very long list of haunts. Lucius had been at Hellsing, so he checked there first, but then he heads for the cottage. He apparates just outside the wards, and magically "knocks." Lucius is not so gauche as to betray impatience, but he's a bit brisk.

"It was an accident," he decides, stabbing keys. "It will be an accident." At some indeterminate date, apparently; he's not drunk yet, and even when he gets there, as he is so speedily heading, he doesn't have the motivation to seek Evan out in this state. "Now I'm going to message Narcissa."

In an unusually cunning tactic, he opens his message to Narcissa with How are you, which neither discloses his burgeoning inebriation nor his true motives, yet will probably not fail to alarm her.

"I sent her a message already," Lucius points out. "I told her. You asked me to."

Evan's accidental death should probably distress him more than it does; but for the moment, it's only theoretical.
