Barty moved to stand next to Regulus and order a beer each for them, so Regulus wouldn't have to talk right now and potentially end up yelling at the bartender. He could see the temper simmering just below the surface. "Hey, darling. Don't be upset. You tried. It really is loud in here."

No wonder Sirius hadn't heard him right. Not that Barty was convinced that it was clear either way.

"If you want, I could just kiss you." That would clear things up.
