Summary: It's a quiet evening doing what they do best -- talk about everything.
Remus had learned at a young age that physical activity the few days before the Full eased some of the restless anxiety he often felt during that time. It didn't necessarily make it go away, but it calmed him for a short while, let him think again without feeling like scratching out of his skin as a teenager. The anxiety wasn't quite so unmanageable now, not after a couple decades' experience controlling it. But, he still found a little extra physical activity helped.
Which was why, when he was done with his obligations for the day, he'd returned to their quarters, stripped down to nothing but a pair of denims, and cleared a bit of space in the bedroom for a workout until Regulus was also done for the day. Normally he would have used his rooms, which he was still keeping for a private training area, but as all he was doing was what little he could remember of the tai chi he'd picked up from a self-styled 'holy man' on one of his first cruises, he wasn't worried about destroying the room.
Remus liked the Tai Chi for his activity at the Full. It was a constant, fluid motion that helped to centre and calm him, almost meditative in a way. Patrol and training were physically demanding, but not in a way that soothed that restlessness. He was almost through a set when he heard Regulus return and called out into the sitting room so as not to interrupt the movements. "I'm in here. I'll be finished in a minute."
