Rodolphus came in the Hog's head, swaggering in with his hood in place. He walked to the bar and ordered himself a double whiskey from the odd little wench that stood behind the bar. He eyed the place, a brow raised as he saw the usual riffraff that inhabited the old and dusty establishment.
But when he looked to one corner, his lips stretched to a smirk as he recognized his fellow Death Eater. Taking his drink in hand, he walked to the table. When he saw one of the ladies that Lucius was conversing with, he couldn't help but grin. Lucius is such a sly dog...
'Lucius!' he said, slapping a hand over his shoulder. 'Here I am all alone and you have the most captivating audience to speak to. Mind if I join your party, my friend?' He smiled casually to both ladies, his eyes straying just a bit longer on Ms Stone before turning back to Lucius.

Lucius grinned slyly at Kalia as she thought over Andromeda's words and his own. This woman is definately going to keep me amused while at the school, he thought. Since Kalia didn't know what was going on, Lucius figured he could plant little thoughts in her mind and manipulate her in ways that would benifit him.
He was about to answer her question about visiting Hogwarts when he heard a familiar voice and felt a familiar hand on his back. Turning a bit and looking up, Lucius' eyes rested on a friend of his, Rodolphus Lestrange. Smiling politely he quickly summoned over another chair. "By all means Rodolphus, do join us" he said politely.

She shot a glare at Kalia as she uttered those bits of agreement with Malfoy- so she had chosen her side, had she? Then so be it. Andromeda's face changed with her mood, and in an instant she was her sunny self again. Just in time for Rodolphus. As Lucius ushered him to the table, she sneered. "Yes, by all means." she echoed, waving for the waiter to come back over so she could get something strong.
"Strongest thing you've got, please," she said to the hunchbacked waiter. She motioned to Lestrange, "And a firewhiskey for the lady."
She returned her hand back to her carving knife. She was now outnumbered, though she knew she was safe as long as she was in a public place. No reason why she couldn't have a few drinks.

Rodolphus raised a brow at Andromeda's last words but said nothing. He knew better than to bite back at her taunt. He never did when a drunk was involved... though he could always... He shook his head and thanked her for the proffered drink.
'So... Will anyone introduce me to the lovely mademoiselle sitting besides Ms Stone?' He said with his most suave baritone voice.

She rolled her eyes as she remembered the fourth to their party. Kalia had been lost on her side, and therefor had become an enemy. No reason why Lestrange shouldn't be introduced to one of his kind. "Kalia Elric, Rodolphus Lestrange," she muttered without looking at either, "Rodolphus Lestrange, Kalia Elric."
The waiter brought her a round of shots. Child in a candy shop.

"Really now Ms. Stone" Lucius said, as if scolding her like she was a child. "Rodolphus, this is Madame Kalia Elric. She's a new professors at Hogwarts." He spoke politely and looked over to Kalia as he mentioned she was a professor. "Kalia, this is Lord Rodolphus Lestrange. A long time friend of mine, we went to school together at Hogwarts." His eyes never left Kalia as he introduced her to Rod, she was much more pleasing to the eye after all ... and Andromeda, well, he'd rather look at Rod than her.
Though Lucius did notice that Kalia was being rather quiet and couldn't really blame her. Being surrounded by three people you don't know and in a conversation that held little jokes and barbs and stabes that only they knew. He'd have to properly introduce himself at the school.

Rodolphus stood up and went to stand next to new face from Hogwarts. He noticed that the young lady had no wedding band on her left hand, so he addressed her accordingly.
'Mlle Elric... Rodolphus Lestrange, at your service.' he held out his hand courteously with a vague smile on his face.
