Yes, but you don't, is the wonderful thing.

[doggedly]

I do. Sometimes, I really do. So I'll help you in some things--some things--and we'll say no more of this. And there will be no bragging on your part.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Who would I even brag to, Sirius.

[ the answer should be yes. but it's derek, so. ]

Not yet.
Just be careful.

[doggedly]

Me. You'd wait, and you'd find a time when you'd decided my ego needed deflating and you'd brag.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I will. You as well, all right? I'd hate to gain you as a friend only to have you be hurt so quickly.

[ oh god he's a second isaac ]

I heal fast.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Still.

text;

[altercate]

I'll be careful.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Thank you. And again-- if you need help, I'm more than capable of giving it. Just a reminder.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And that's a bad thing, why?

text;

[altercate]

I know. You're pack. We're pack.

[He doesn't reply for a time-- but only because he's beaming at his communicator, utterly delighted by the words, unsure how to communicate that without coming off like a teenaged girl.]

I meant to ask you-- you're alpha, correct? Does that make me a beta?

[ remus stop being adorable. ]

Normally I would say yes.
But you're not from my world. It could be different.

[theshabbiestofmen]

So it's more of a blood thing, then? I mean, it's not just a name. Or it goes beyond a name.

text;

[altercate]

It's more than just a name.
It's hard to define, it's just.
You feel it. In your bones.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well, I'm not entirely certain if I feel anything yet, but, on the other hand, this is all terribly new to me.

[doggedly]

Because I don't appreciate it! I need my ego. It is my shield against the cruel world.

[theshabbiestofmen]

You need to be a good deal less egotistical, actually, I think that would serve you quite well. You'd learn humility.

[doggedly]

Sorry, you're thinking of James. He's the one that needs the adjusted ego.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but you as well. You're far too smirky when it comes to girls.

[doggedly]

With reason, thanks. And no blows to my ego from you can ever hope to shake that, actually.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And yet I keep trying, in the hopes that perhaps someday you'll be slightly less of a prat.

[doggedly]

I'm not a prat! That is entirely the wrong word to use for me-- really, Moony! Cruel!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Arrogant, then? What would you prefer?
