She had given him space to rest, appearing for meals and a brief chat if he wished it, or bringing him books to pass the time while they waited for news from the outside world. Lily hoped that news would come in the form of a visit from Dumbledore, though she realized the man was very important and had several irons in the fire, and as the days wore on she found her hopes dimming.
While keeping to herself in the lower half of the little cottage it was Lily who'd ended up reading 'The Three Musketeers' cover-to-cover (again). She took walks on the grounds surrounding their refuge, enjoying the sharp edge of the sea air as it whipped across the sparse island and the caw of the birds. It was isolating, and a crummy assignment to be on without any word about what was happening outside of this place, but at least she was somewhere new and beautiful, with all its little unique aspects to learn.
Lily had come back inside from one of those walks and glanced towards the staircase, listening for a moment before she decided to ascend. "Are you awake Regulus?" She had been mulling over the idea of asking him if he thought he was well enough to get some air outside, and decided to see how he was before she determined whether or not she ought to ask.
