Ever since the note and potion ingredients had shown up in her room - and she'd realized what they were - Lily had been watching the moon. However, she quickly discovered that there was absolutely no pattern to the moon - it didn't move in any sort of cycle. One night it was a thin crescent ... and the next, it was nearly full.

There was evidence enough that she wasn't actually what the potion implied she was. Remus' bite had scarred - she knew, because she'd seen it a couple of times. Hers was healing normally. Completely normally.

She felt nothing at all when the moon - the fake moon? - had been nearly full, which implied to her she wasn't actually going to turn into something four-legged and furry. But then why ...? Why would they do this?

Pushing up the sleeve of her robe, Lily gazed at the healed over bite mark. No, it wasn't very likely at all that it had been a wolf's bite. A dog's bite, to make her think she'd be a wolf.

Exhaling a sigh, Lily let her sleeve slip back down as she tipped her head back to regard the half-moon that sat motionless in the sky - or whatever passed for a sky here.

"Well, I would be somewhat skeptical, but you're right. I'd have no way of knowing that fashion doesn't go all metal in thirty years." She smiled softly, and while she wanted to help him up when he seemed to have trouble, she had an idea that he was the sort that didn't accept help readily or easily.

Once he was up though, she opened the door to let them in. "Suppose it's a bit nosy of me to ask what happened?" Lily said. It made her wish she was a healer, but she could make a simple pain relief potion from the ingredients that had been left in her room ... maybe she would, later. If nothing else, it was something for her to do even if he had no desire for it.

Keeping her pace slow, but even, Lily led him to the kitchen and gestured for him to have a seat. "Any sorts of guidelines? Things I should avoid or anything like that?" Even as she asked, she began rifling through the cabinets and fridge to see what was available today.

"Yes, exactly. So I'm sort of like a fortune teller. Cool." He nodded at that, looking completely serious as he walks through the door that she held open for him. He stayed silent for a long moment after she asked what had happened, his eyes moving around the main lobby in thought before he shrugged. It seemed pointless to keep an aura of mystery around him here. His own mysteries weren't nearly as impressive as the ones that were offered in a place like this.

"I was stubborn and people were stupid." He said it in an idle voice, trying to see if he could guess his way through the massive building. He soon stopped walking to let Lily take the lead, glancing at her before he continued. "Long story short, something happened, the muscle in my leg went dead, and they could have done a procedure to fix it, or amputate the leg all together. I said to do the procedure." His eyes moved up to the ceiling. "My partner at the time, and doctor, decided to try a middle ground. Which, obviously..." He lifted his cane in a lazy swing, "didn't work out as well as they had hoped."

A silence fell over him after he summed the story into a nutshell, frowning a bit as he thought about it. It was far too long ago for him to really get angry, but there was always that level of annoyance there. If they just did as he said...

He willingly sat down in one of the chairs that Lily gestured to him and he watched as she girl started to rummage through the cabinets. She seemed eager, and it just reminded Greg that people here must be so lonely. He could handle that. In fact, he preferred it. But when it came to someone who was open enough to talk to an older stranger on the steps of a twisted monster hotel and then offer to make him food... it must have been much more difficult.

"No, no allergies or anything, so whatever you find I guess." He nodded to her before he leaned back, watching awkwardly. "...So did you leave a lot of friends behind?"

She nodded sympathetically to his story, though she didn't ... exactly understand it. Not completely in context, though she understood well enough about gangrene and assumed it might have been something like that, only without the infection part.

It was enough to know he'd been fixed wrong.

She wondered absently if an ennervation spell would help him at all, and she wondered if he'd let her try it at some point. But Lily was a clever girl; if anyone could tweak the spell so it woke up a dead muscle, it'd be her. If nothing else, she'd try the potion simply in case he wanted it.

Dropping her eyes at his question, her hand hesitated as it reached toward something buried in the depths of the cabinet. "Ah ... well. Yes, I did. My fiance and I were ... were doing some charity work with a group of friends from school, and we were all very close."

Charity work. Vigilante group. Whichever. "Part of me hopes some of them will show up here. Most of me fears that very thing. There's no reason for any of them to be stuck here. No reason at all."

Trying to shake off the worst of it, Lily set about making some ham and cheese omelets.
