i'm with security, will be as long as they need me please be safe i'll come find you as soon as i can ok? i mean i'm sure it'll be fine but considering the last time we dealt with outsiders? on strella? not too excited about all this

I'm fine. I've got my wand and Sirius and I are going to meet up soon. Be careful yourself, all right? We'll be all right as long as we keep our heads; they seem to want to avoid fights.

I love you.

which just makes me all the more nervous, but you're probably right. i'll be fine. c: love you, too.

Of course you'll be. I mean, at worst, you can simply shift into one of those pirates. Only don't get caught on their ship, I'm not prepared to lose you.

[So he's relaxed a little at least, thanks in no small part to Sirius' flippancy.]

I'll be with Sirius and James. They want to go maraudering, god help us all.

always a solid backup plan.

[ only.. it's not that simple anymore, is it? but she can't tell Remus about it, not yet. she wants to, but- not now that there are more important things to worry about now. soon, soon, soon. ]

can you do me a favor?

Anything.

if you're in a tight spot, anything at all, you can text me with just a "3" and i'll know it's a secret code i invented with a friend who used to be on the ship you can tell Sirius, and James too ( who i still have to meet but the offer still stands ) 3 is serious business 3 means i'll drop everything and find you it means you don't have time to explain or- i dunno. anything. i know i should have told you about this ages ago but i guess i got a little conceited and didn't think we'd ever need it but you never know, right? maybe this'll all be fine and there's no reason to bring it up now but just for my own peace of mind

That's a brilliant idea. I'll tell Sirius and James, thank you-- and the same goes for you, obviously. If you need me, I'll come.

good. be safe, love.

[He grins at that one word-- love-- for far too long a time.]

I'll see you on the other end of this mess.

also! remind me later to write a privacy encryption for you three. i'm not the *best* at them, but any encryption is better than no encryption, which you boys tend to forget, meaning anyone and everyone can read your conversations...

[ aka: i scrolled right by them all because it's really none of my business but honestly how was I supposed to ignore my own name coming up in your conversations, i'm only hu- i'm only mutant! ]

[a beat.]

I've said nothing but flattering things about you, you know.

i'll take your word for it. c: though my point still stands! people snoop around for information on these things, so.

True. Well, I would be quite indebted to you if you'd do us that favor.

[A pause.]

Although you realize this means I'm rather hesitant to flirt with you over the device now.

but i *like* flirting with you over the comms device plus i encrypt most of our stuff anyway

So long as it's encrypted. I'd rather not have the entire ship know our business.

[HE GETS FLUSTERED EASILY OKAY.]

so you're saying i should cancel that public transmission i planned on posting after this whole pirate invasion thing, declaring my love for that thing you do with your tongue? well that would be the first transmission, it was going to be a whole series..

Raven!

remus! are you blushing tell me tell me i wish we were on video

No I am not.

[He totally is.]

are you sure no wait don't tell me don't don't don't you're not allowed to do cute things when i'm not around to appreciate them

You are being ridiculous and I am not blushing because I'm a man and we don't do things like that.

you're getting all huffy now, aren't you!

I-- no. I don't get huffy. Huffy implies I act like an old woman.

but you get all sour-puss face and huffy it's a fun thing, not an old lady thing! fun for me, right
