Many moons later, James would still reminisce the first time he laid eyes on the captain of the Cassandra. He’s beautiful, face angular and brows dark, slender and poised.

Yet his eyes are soft; sleepy, almost. Regulus Black has the eyes of a poet, and James wishes he were one, if only to adequately put into words everything that Regulus is.
What he isn’t, though, is friendly towards strangers.
