Which, yes, technically were his friends too, but he didn't exactly have the time or, frankly, the patience to spend much time around them. "I'm not expecting you to come out to your parents, Regulus. I know that isn't done in our circles."

Barty shrugged. "It is what it is. We will see what happens."
