[doggedly]

They're always silvery.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Fine, then, not silver. White, is that allowable?

[doggedly]

White. Yes. I think we can manage white. Distinctly less fairy-like. Or gold!

[theshabbiestofmen]

Might be a bit confusing with all the yellow for Gryffindor.

[doggedly]

We'll do it extra-sparkly. There will be no mistakes, and if there are, everyone will be too blinded by the sparkles to much care.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He laughs outright at that-- a rare and quiet thing, and one he immediately covers with his hand.]

Perfect! Absolutely perfect. Come on, let's go find some water to transfigure, I think that's the best way to attack this.

[doggedly]

[He grins at that laugh, pleased to have gotten it from Remus--it's not always easy to do, after all!--and jumps to his feet, offering him a hand up.]

Your kitchens ought to serve to get water from, and there'll be pots and things to keep it in. C'mon!

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He grins and grabs Sirius' hand.]

We ought to set a time limit on it. Just so we can be certain the entire ship won't hate us when paint dries in their hair.

[doggedly]

Free colour for their hair! They won't hate us, some may even thank us. We will be brightening up mundane existences.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Would you thank someone if they dumped blue paint on you?

[doggedly]

They wouldn't do it to me.

[theshabbiestofmen]

They absolutely would, if you keep up that attitude.

[doggedly]

They might try, but they'd be outsmarted. As usual.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Who is this they, Sirius, do you imagine there's some sort of secret organization dedicated to try and subvert you?

[doggedly]

[He fixes Remus with a Very Significant Look as they walk along.]

They're out there, Remus. Don't think they aren't.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I see the madness has kicked in quite on time.

oops hello this one

[doggedly]

[He grins, immediately losing his Significant Look.]

Oh, you know what I mean. Everyone. Everyone on the ship. They're the they.

THE MADNESS WITHIN CHRISTINA

[theshabbiestofmen]

That doesn't make it any less paranoid, you realize, simply more coherent.

[doggedly]

It isn't paranoid. If you do the right things to people, they will eventually come after you. Look at Marlene McKinnon's brothers. Look what happened to me with them.

[theshabbiestofmen]

That was your own damn fault.

[doggedly]

[Loudly, almost talking over him:]

That was people coming after me just as I had feared. Point made.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Because you messed around with their sister!

[doggedly]

Honestly, Moony, what a way to phrase it. Their sister and I had a brief relationship, which then ended.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And you can't see why they'd be bothered by that.

[doggedly]

I didn't presume to ask if they'd be bothered. It wasn't the sort of conversation you wanted to stick around for.
