Mina: "I hope it's not too presumptuous to pray that God doesn't massacre Jonathan in a blind angry wrath against me. As for me, I am dirt on the ground, so I deserve whatever's coming to me."

VH: "... I'm taking this typewriter away until you can think of 3 nice things to write about yourself."

“I actually own this flat,” That’s what James had just said. Regulus felt so stupid. He’d kept asking and asking about paying rent. He should have just figured it out himself. 

He screwed his eyes shut and sat back down at his easel, opening his eyes to look at his ruined painting. It would have been beautiful, but now it was marred by a thick black line, which he had no way of hiding. He was just about to screw it up when Sirius knocked on his door. 

“Hey, Reggie, you good?” Sirius asked, concern shadowing his face. Regulus shrugged, he wasn’t sure. “Wow, is that what you’ve been painting?” Sirius asked, moving to stand beside him. 

“Yeah, but it’s beyond saving. I was just about to throw it away.” 

“What?! No, don’t do that!” Sirius picked up the paintbrush and began changing the shape of the line. Regulus watched, fascinated, as Sirius worked.  “You know he wasn’t keeping it from you to be cruel, right? He just didn’t see it as a problem. It is a constant wonder how someone so intelligent can at the same time be so dumb.” Sirius spoke while he painted. “Seriously, he’s a good guy and was just excited that you'd agreed to move in. There,” Sirius proclaimed as he stood back and revealed the finished picture. 

Regulus moved closer, staring at the regal stag, its silhouette taking over the picture. Its head held high, with its antlers brushing the very top of the painting. The oranges and pinks of the sunset Regulus had been painting made it look like some sort of ancient god of the forest. It was eerily beautiful. 

“It’s amazing, Sirius, but I can't use it for my assignment. Maybe you should take it.”

“No way, it’s yours. You can hang it in the living room. James will love it, and that way, you can look up and remember the time we did something nice together,” Sirius slung an arm around Regulus’s shoulders and squeezed. “I’m glad you’re here, you know,” Regulus looked up at him with over-bright eyes. 

“Really?” He said in a whisper. 

“Yeah, of course,” Sirius grinned at him, leaning his head so it rested on top of Regulus’s. "I've missed you so much," Regulus debated internally for a moment before twisting his head so he was looking up at his brother. 

“Sirius, can I tell you something?” Regulus said quickly. He needed to know he wasn’t being an idiot because if he left it and stayed with James too long, it would hurt so much more. Sirius nodded, urging him to continue. Regulus took a deep breath before he spoke. “I think I like James. Like more than a friend,” His words were barely audible, but Sirius heard every word. He pulled Regulus into a tight hug. 

“You two are as dumb as each other,” Sirius chuckled, kissing the top of Regulus’s head and leading him out into the living room, where James and Remus were having a heated discussion about the proper way to top a scone.

Animal of the day for November 2: Okapi (Species Okapia johnstoni)

Okapi are the only living relative of the Giraffes, and have a similar niche, though they inhabit canopy forests rather than savannas. Their main distinguishing features from Giraffes is their ~10ft height difference, and having stripes instead of spots. Unlike giraffes, only male Okapi have ossicones (the horn-looking structures on their head).

Animal of the Day!

Admirable Red-Bellied Toad (Melanophryniscus admirabilis)

(Photo from Amphibian Survival Alliance)

Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Southern Brazil

Size (Weight/Length)- 6 cm

Diet- Small insects

Cool Facts- The admirable red-bellied toad, or sapinho admirável de barriga vermelha as they are known in Portuguese, is a newly described species of toad as of 2006. They have one of the smallest ranges of any toad, only 700 meters alongside the Forqueta River. Their greatest threat is the farms upriver of their habitat. Pesticide run-off from agriculture leeches into the River and kills off the insects the toads rely on for food, along with permeating the toad’s sensitive skin. Conservationists are working with the Brazilian government to create protections for the admirable red-bellied toad's habitat and working with local farmers to limit pesticides. There are aims for starting a captive breeding program in the near future.

Rating- 13/10 (Extremely high levels of antimicrobial resistance.)
