Amycus hadn't expected any visitors today. Though, perhaps, that was his failing - Alecto often dropped by whenever she felt like it, as did the handful of other people he'd had added specially to the wards. As it was, Valeria was not who he expected to see after feeling the wards ping in the back of his mind. Still, his ex-fiancee wasn't an unwelcome sight, even with all the rumors - baseless and untrue, but still persistent - flying about like flies swarming a corpse. It was marriage season - the time of year that his mother was always pestering him about fulfilling the betrothal, finally, but this year, this year it was silent. A blessing, some would say, though it did truly discomfit him.

The books were stacked around him, the Carrow copy of Magick Moste Evile by Godelot carefully closed and banished back into place in the library as she rounded the room. Amusement lit his eyes, a fondness in his smile as he rose off his chair to greet her, absorbing the cheek kiss. "Careful is my middle name, darling Val, didn't you know?" He hummed in agreement, nodding. "Mother has taken to pestering Alecto instead. I rather think she's given up on me, which is both disheartening and hilarious."

Val could honestly say that it was the first time that she had actually snuck into Amycus' place just now. She had been careful to not be seen as she moved into the house. The house of the man who was no longer her betrothed but the man who she still respected, and one of the only few who actually knew what it was like to go through a failed betrothal. So far she had been able to ignore the rumors and gossip pretty well, but it was annoying. Val was so much more than a failed chance of marriage. She wanted to decide herself who to get married to. Or not get married at all. Was that so much to ask for?

A deep sigh at that thought sounded as Val walked into the room where she could find Amycus. "Ex fiancee in the building, be careful who you are seen with, Amycus," the woman joked as she moved closer and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek as a welcome. "I hope your parents are off your back now because mine are. That is until they find someone for me."

Malfoy Manor was as familiar to him as his own home was. Stately, grandiose in the way only Malfoy's could pull off - even the Black's, as powerful as they are, are put to shame by one of his oldest friends family's tendency towards the expensive and exquisite. Dodging the peacocks lingering on the lawns, a smirk split his face as he took in Lucius.

"Of course I did." Like he would ever pass up this invitation. "Always. If I ever say no to that question, Lucius, put me out of my misery."

Amycus was the last one to ask, the rest of his wedding party proclaimed, that he knew this would be an easy feat, friends since children, and if Rabastan was to be at his side, so would the Carrow brother. He felt the break in his wards on the manor, going to meet his friend in the foyer.

"Amycus, you made it." A coy smirk. "Do you fancy a drink?"

The owl hadn't been a surprise - though it had, predictably as ever, caused Zeus to go into a sulk until he registered exactly who the owl belonged to. Amycus had been expecting a summons from his sister for days now, but he knew better than to suggest to her that she was slipping. He tugged at the sleeve of his suit jacket, giving the house elf that greeted him a nod of acknowledgement.

His brows lifted in amusement, smile quirking the corners of his lips up at the sight of his sister. "Darling sister," he drawled with a quickening smile, "no need to get up on my account." He settled into the upholstered chair and plush dark fabric, not needing to peruse the drinks offered because he knew she'd have whatever he requested. "Whiskey, you know the one." Once the glass was pressed against his palm, he spared his sister a long glance. "Was there a particular reason for your summoning?"

where: her home who: @bestialremains

Alecto had sent an owl to her brother, requesting his presence for lunch, a conversation was dire considering what had transpired of his betrothal and she wished to share news herself; only a few she would confide in private matters. Certain a conversation needed to placid their mother for a short period of time.

A house elf ushered to collect Amycus upon his arrival, she sat in one of the lounge chairs, a book in hand, looking up upon his entrance. "Hello dear brother," a faint smile lingers on her features, "I hope you are hungry." A hand gestures for him to sit down. "Would you like something to drink?"
