[A beat--but a very brief one, because Sirius isn't going to let that deter him for long. Nor will he let Remus be deterred.]

Shut it, Lupin, we're looking toward the future. Honestly.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He smiles briefly, quietly.]

Well, then. I'll remember that.

[A beat.]

Do you really think they'll wake up next Jump?

[action]

[doggedly]

[He looks around at him, briefly caught off-guard by that.]

What sort of-- Yeah. Yeah, they will, of course they will.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

But there's no guarantee of it. They didn't this time; what's to make them do it next time?

Re: [action]

[doggedly]

Yeah? And what's guaranteeing that they won't? You're just being bloody negative.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Wary. Cautious. I don't want to-- to get my hopes up.

[action]

[doggedly]

So you settle instead for not having any hope at all? Oh, yeah, well done.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He gives him a flat look.]

It's easier and you know it.

[action]

[doggedly]

It's stupid and dismal. Especially in the case of something like this, which is likely to be fixed and reversed and all.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Likely, but not-- certainly.

[action]

[doggedly]

[He's quiet, just for a beat.]

They'll work it out.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He nods, quietly, and doesn't say anything at all.]

[action]

[doggedly]

[There's a beat, and then he reaches over to grip at Remus' shoulder, bracingly.]

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Thanks.

[He glances over at him, smiling gratefully.]

Come on. Let's-- I don't know-- go for a walk or something. I can't stand another minute in this room right now.

[action]

[doggedly]

Yeah, all right--

[He hits the button to open the door and shoves his hands in his pockets, with a tentative little grin.]

You could always cook for me, y'know. Brilliant distraction.

i'm thinking about disappearing for a few days. wanna come with?

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Disappear where, precisely? Or should I say how?

text;

[darkholme]

well not *literally* disappear, first off. i was planning on shifting into someone i've never seen here before and finding an unoccupied room to ..occupy for a little while. i just need a tiny bit of alone time, i think, to clear my head. only that would get boring, all by myself, so. that's where you'd come in.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Then I'd love to, Miss Mystique. When shall we go? I'll bring some food supplies and books and things, if you'd supply the drinks.

[darkholme]

really? that's great! that's perfect. let's say tomorrow evening, just so there's some time to tell a few people we won't be around. although they could always just message us, it's not as if we're going somewhere dangerous. but either way, tomorrow night. if that's ok?

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Perfect. Where shall we meet?

text;

[darkholme]

let's meet at the library and we can find someplace from there.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Perfect. I'll see you tomorrow.

How are you sleeping lately?
