hi
is this remus?
my name's isaac
we may have known each other once [and only on this ship can that ever be a normal thing to say]

Oh, yes! Hello! Yes, we're-- I suppose we still are, it's not as if you're a different person-- we're in the same pack. But yes, we were friends. Are friends. Tenses are odd, aren't they? Yes. Anyway. I'm glad you're back.

[Could you be any awkwarder, Remus.]

[the pack really does attract all the awkward teens. nbd]

derek mentioned that
but you're not like us

[wait hold on that could be taken the wrong way]

your wolf i mean
it's different in your world

Yes, it is!

[No offense taken! If only because he knows Isaac, knows when he means to give offense and not. And it's bizarre that it's only one way now, but Remus tries not to think about that.]

Far more painful and less convenient than yours. A full moon is coming up, actually, if you'd like to stick around and watch.

[he's definitely curious, if only because the only wolves he's ever seen transform are the ones from home. but there's a slight problem with the plan. namely-]

do you get locked up for it?

Oh, yes. We find an abandoned hallway and then go into a room. My friends and I put up spells, just in case-- it's quite safe.

[A beat.]

But pack is safe. He won't hurt anyone he thinks of as pack. And he regards Derek as the alpha, so.

[Another beat.]

But you don't have to come if you don't want to, I completely understand, it's quite tiresome to stay up all night!

i'm not worried about it being safe for me

[he just doesn't want to make things twice as bad by losing control around them all]

can the door be opened after you've put up spells?
like if it was an emergency or something

Oh, yes. We usually do anyway, just so I can have more room to run around. We have a forest behind our school; I-- he-- is rather used to that, so any sort of open space is preferable.

[wait, hold on a second there, remus]

so you don't stay locked in the room all night?
you actually leave it?

Well, as I said, we pick an abandoned hallway. So long as no one comes up-- and we set up shields in front of the elevator, so they can't really come out on that stop-- we're all right.

i thought that was just- [so people wouldn't come near the room in the first place]
ok
sure
i mean, i can help if you want

If you want. You really don't have to; I know I'm not much more than a name right now.

derek said you're pack
so we've gotta meet at some point, right?
if it's not going to make it harder for you, then i'd like to be there

Let's, then. Although I should warn you: they're not pleasant transformations. They sound-- and are-- very painful. Just so you're not surprised.

i don't know how well it'd work. or even if it would
but there's something a friend showed me that we can do to take away pain
well some of it
we could try it, if you want

It can't hurt. What sort of thing?

when wolves from my world touch animals they can take some of their pain away
i don't know if it'll work on people too

i could ask derek though
or scott
