Who: Astro and Sirius^baby
What: A father/daughter chariot ride
When: today
Where: OUT AND ABOUT.
Warnings: a less happy Astro then normal?

Astro wasn't necessarily accustomed to being uncertain of her emotions and feelings. Normally, she knew precisely what was upsetting her or making her excited. She typically had a firm grasp upon her own thoughts and yet, today, she had felt as though she had been run over by a truck; with no real indication as to why. Perhaps, she had thought, it was because of her own fleeting mind. Mr. Lupin, from whatever world he was, had warded all of the families of the Marauders.

And it reminded her how she was the only one of her siblings who could respond. She was representing all of the Black children, when so often she was used to just representing a Seventh. Just Astro. She missed her family. She missed her Aunts and Uncles. She missed the way Remus would get that look in his eyes when she and Eris would come tumbling into the Lupin household, as if a hurricane was about to approach. The look that would make her giggle and throw her arms around him. Or how she would prod at Branwen, always determined to get him riled up, but it taking so much effort. And Aunt Petunia's cookies. And cheering on Uncle James' league at Quidditch leagues. Or lunches in the depths of Gringotts with Bill. And her flat with the girls.

She missed all of it. Today just was more so then normal. Maybe that was what it was. Or maybe not. Merlin knew she had a few other things she was trying to not think on beside that.

Coming up towards the holding area of the Chariots, she looked towards her Father with a subdued smile. "I brought grapes," she mentioned. She didn't know why but she felt like telling him.

A brief reunion was better than none, and Sirius felt better even knowing Philip was around. Perhaps Oscar was looking after him. Sirius smiled at that thought. And well, Oscar had been the one to return Philip to him. Already Sirius had picked up someone on motorbike - Inked Moony - who had been stuck in their room (indoor blizzards were pretty cool sounding, to be honest). And there was so much more to do with his bike, including giving him a full few hours to make sure everything was in as good working order as when they had been separated. Then there would be even more time for riding around, taking people with him, including Astro. "You can get a ride with us either way," Sirius replied happily. He then wondered if she had a bike of her own. Her interests panned a slightly different direction, but still...

"I haven't gone terribly far," Sirius replied, "But it was something I wanted to explore. So I'm glad to have you with me." Company had always been part of the plan. And he had gotten better at driving the chariot. The horses weren't speeding like in a race because Sirius didn't want to tire them out. They were wonderful animals - Scotty and Data. Other worlds had involved limits of some kind, like the flower animal one where the compound was close no matter how far he walked. This place was a bit different, but how far?
