Rory had felt rather exhausted as today's events finally rallied back at her, the moment she stepped into her study was she met with the growing whispers of Regulus, and already with that she groaned.

"What was the first rule we established when calling me on this?" She ushered out, and Regulus' pout was completely visible through the mirror. "That I wait for your call, and before that message you in your book...But I was getting anxious! Aidan hadn't gotten a letter from you either."

"That's because this is the first chance I get to sit down, now...What's the matter?" Orion watched in silence to see how his daughter would react to the combined agreement of Aidan and Regulus.

"I don't think you'll need to send him it anymore, he should be there by the end of the week." Rory closed her eyes as she soon went to pinch the brink of her nose.

"Do you know how much it hurt me to break his heart?" She questioned, and before he could even think to respond she shook her head to answer for him.

"No, you don't. And don't bother to tell me that you're empathic to that situation. I love him, but I can't...Maybe after the war, maybe if I can salvage whatever's left of my soul. But not now. I'm sending him back." Regulus knew it was hurting his sister, but not to this extent—Though he should've.

"And the children? How are they—How are you?"

"Other than being stopped at the ministry for three hours for Lori's passport, I'm alright. They're settling in just fine I suppose, Romulus shook his father's hand and nothing is well." She was more than tired, and all she rightly wanted was a warm sprinkle from the shower and then to relax under the cover.

"We'll talk later."

"Rory please don't be angry with me. Can't you see I want what's best for you?"
She gave in, knowing that this was just a bump in the road in being able to adapt to this move.

"I have such homesickness when I shouldn't...And seeing Aidan just going to make it worse."

"But don't you think it'll push Lestrange to try? Especially if he sees how Aidan is with the children."

"What sort of healing does that promote?"

"The kind that Karma dishes out, he was released from Azkaban Rory. There's no need to be kind to the man."
With a final set of goodnights did Rory scribble the rest of her parcel and sent it to the directory for the foreign post.

Unfortunately, it would probably get to America by midday tomorrow, but it was all she could manage her and now. Not that it was anything worthwhile, just that she hoped he was doing well and keeping to his promises—Though she was sure they would be broken soon enough.

"Was starting to worry where you went off to..."

"I coaxed Romulus to get to sleep early and then Cara takes about half a chapter to finally fall asleep. And Ronan was already snoring by the time I came to check on him." The nightly routine was long as he soon found out, but Rory explained that it was only because it was the first night.

Soon they'll be better adjusted.

"Was Lorelei alright?"

"She's a little angel." Aurora laughed, causing Rabastan to flinch at the sound, what did the witch mean with that?

"I don't know, sometimes I think Romulus was right in naming her Lorelei. As she is very good at getting her way, you have to be firm sometimes Rabastan." Through all of this, he had watched the woman partly in the closest with a bundle of clothes in hand.
