WHO: Roxie and Tau
WHERE: Tau's office
WHEN: Tuesday evening
WHAT: Roxie has a request
WARNINGS: sads and possible language

Closing her journal and setting it on her bed, Roxie sighed and wiped at her face. Since she'd made her decision, she'd been crying on and off constantly. She knew it was the right thing to do, it was what she needed to do, even if she didn't want to. But it didn't stop her fear. Anything could happen when she came back younger. She wouldn't have her memories, no one did when they came back younger, and honestly, she didn't want them. She didn't want to remember her constant pain of Lorcan not loving her the way she wanted, or her parents lack of interest. She just needed a break.

Roxie stood up off the bed, and felt something furry numb into her leg. Looking down, she saw River rubbing against her legs. She grinned and shook her head before picking the kitten up and starting towards the door. She wasn't surprised when Tiberius was waiting for her at the door. "Alright you, let's go." The two animals hadn't stopped following her around since she'd returned from Neverland. Of everything she was going to leave behind, they were what she was going to miss the most. She just hoped Tau would let her keep them, or let them stay with James. She couldn't bear the thought of them going off somewhere else.

Arriving at Tau's office door, Roxie stood there for a few minutes, staring at the handle without moving. Once she knocked on the door, it would be real. She could talk about it with James and Lorcan all she wanted, but nothing was real until she went into that room. With a deep breath, she moved her hand away from where she had been scratching River behind the ear and knocked on the door. There. First step done.

Tau's office was almost never locked anymore, even when she wasn't in it, especially given her Taken's (or at least, Moody's) inclination for breaking into it. There were still a few golden retriever puppies in it anyway, which were getting close to full grown, that hadn't been claimed by her subjects and which she allowed to wander around. At the moment, Tau herself was exactly as she could normally be found when she was in her office: sitting on her desk chair with her booted feet up on the desk, toying with the mustache that hung from her glasses as she read over the papers that she held into her hand.

When the knock came, she set the papers down in her lap and crossed her hands over it before calling out, "Come in."

Opening the door, Roxie stood there for just a moment before walking in and making her way to the desk. At the sight of his litter-mates, Tiberius left her side and ran over for a round of sniffing and playing. Roxie smiled at the dogs and sat down, setting River in her lap. The kitten immediately curled up and started to purr.

"Hi," Roxie said at last. "Um, I'm not even sure how to say this, or what to say, or if it's even possible, but... I'd like to go home, if I could. But I still want to be here, if that makes sense. I just... I want to be younger, I guess."

Unsympathetically, Tau gazed at her over her glasses at her subject. The request came as no surprise, since she monitored the journals, and she had no real desire to hear about the emotional distress that had caused this decision. Yet it was her job to take notes on such things, even if it was her least favorite part of the job.

So, picking up her quill again, she said, "Why?"

Roxie sighed and looked down at River, concentrating on petting the kitten. "I'm not happy," she said. "Not anymore. Nothing is working and everything hurts and I just need a break. I really don't want to make demands or anything, I just need a break. Not forever, just a while."

She paused then and closed her eyes. Opening them once more she looked at Tau. "I feel like I've lost myself."

	Silently, Tau noted something on the paper in front of her, and then looked back up again. From her perspective, the state that Roxanne was in was hardly of any use to her, and if she wasn't willing or able to pull it together on her own then she frankly preferred to wash her hands of it. "I will put in a recommendation for your readjustment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thanks," she said, looking down again. This was a good thing, but she couldn't bring herself to smile. She was getting what she wanted, but that didn't make things better right then.

"I don't know how much control you have over things," she said then. "But don't put me with my parents that are here if it can be helped. They don't... they don't want me. And... what about Tiberius and River? What will happen to them? James, from the color world... he said he would keep an eye on them if he could. But if I could keep them..."

"I will look after the dog," Tau said. "They are, technically speaking, mine. If you are in my block when you return, he might be returned to you. The cat originally belonged to Zeta and, since she is no longer here, I believe that is up to Mr. Iota. Since I assume you mean the version of James Potter who is one of Mr. Iota's subjects, he may well let your friend take care of it."
