"Scroll back up," Lily ordered, watching the guide on the TV screen. She was sprawled on the couch, her head resting on Tristan's thigh, her arm curled around his knee. He was stroking her hair, running his fingers through it. Anyone who didn't know him, didn't know them, might think there was something intimate about their behavior. That they were a couple. It wasn't anything like that though. Once Tris and James had gotten to be friends, Tris had promised James he'd look after Lily. Just because they'd changed locations didn't change that agreement. They'd gotten closer in Tris' last year, and just because Lily hadn't seen him for a few months hardly meant she couldn't fall back into the same easy, comfortable relationship they'd had before. Tris was like a big brother, and that was that.

"Scroll back up," Tris repeated as he scrolled down.

"Up!" Lily protested with a laugh, squeezing his thigh.

"This is up!"

"It is not, Tristan Joseph Moore!"

"It will be in a minute," he said as the guide cycled back to the lower numbers.

"It's still going down."

"But it gets you where you were trying to go."

Lily heaved a sigh. "I'm going to steal the remote from you."

"Go ahead," he said as he slowed his scrolling.

"There. That one. The Wolfman movie. That's like ... twenty years old," she pointed out. "Nothing here is new. I mean, this is all stuff that was popular when I was ... like two."

"Has anyone mentioned yet that you're really bad at math?"

"It's why I dropped Arithmancy. Numbers don't like me." Lily snuggled a little closer to him as he set the remote aside and they watched the opening sequence of The Wolfman. She was content enough to lapse into silence to watch the movie, though she wouldn't mind in the least if they had company joining them as well.

"We could still get accidentally kicked in the balls, though," he pointed out. His eyes flicked to Lily and he grinned, "Well, two out of three of us, I guess. Unless there's something ... different about you, Lily."

But he wasn't really very concerned. It sounded like there was something fishy going on with the stabbing chick, but he'd just be careful if he happened to think he knew someone from home.

"It is kinda weird that they took your wands even if you can't use them." He managed to ignore the fact that having a wand sounded ridiculous. Did they wear pointy hats, too? "I got to keep my lighter," he shrugged, though it dawned on him after he shared that he didn't think he'd ever said what his power was.

"Nothing like that different about me," she assured him, brows elevating slightly. "Though you're welcome to come check if you want," she taunted with a grin. She wasn't serious in the least and she trusted Tris to defend her virtue if it came to that.

"Maybe they just don't want us poking people's eyes out," she suggested with a shrug.

"So ... you're jazzed because they're letting you smoke? Bad for the lungs, you know," Tris pointed out. "Not to mention, no one likes snogging an ashtray." Well, he didn't, at any rate.

Then he wondered if maybe the lighter comment was somehow relevant to John's powers. "Or are you trying to tell us you're an arsonist and you're going to burn the place down some night?"

Amused, John raised his brows, "You offering to strip for me or would I have to get up and grope you?" He questioned teasingly, not intending to take her up on either offer even if she was serious about it -- which he highly, highly doubted.

"Yeah, my bad," he replied to Tristan. "I can manipulate fire. Well, I could," he amended somewhat bitterly. His powers may have made him a freak back home, but he felt naked without them, "So somewhere between your two options? I wouldn't really say I'm an arsonist."

He smirked with a shake of his head. It was kind of funny to hear their British slang and even though he'd only had a vague idea of what snogging meant, it was easy to figure out in context.

"You'd have to get up. I'm feeling a bit lazy and rather comfortable," Lily assured him. She reached across Tristan for the remote so she could see what else was on after the movie was over.

"Just fire though?" she prompted.

Tris grinned. "Well, good to hear that, at any rate," he murmured. "Really, of all the ways I'd thought about dying, going down in an actual blaze wasn't really on the list." Granted, if he'd had his magic, he'd have every manner of defense against that -- charms, water spells, shields, vacuums -- but it was rough being a Muggle.

Lily scrolled through the movie channels, pausing to read the descriptions of the movies as she scrolled past them. "If anything looks interesting, say something," she prompted the boys.

"Just fire? Just?" He echoed incredulously, shaking his head. "Just for that, I'm not going to give you the pleasure of being groped by me." He was sure she would be very disappointed and crushed.

He grinned teasingly, but he'd always thought his mutation was pretty awesome. Not as awesome as being able to create fire, but ... hey, minor details and all. Better than waving some wussy wand around, anyway.

"So you have a list of ... ways to die? Or ways you would want to die?" He asked with an arched brow, amused. "What was number one?"

"Well, I mean, we can do all sorts of things with our magic. With all the elements. I don't know. It just seemed ..."

Lily grinned. "But you're right. I suppose I deserved being denied the groping for my insolence," she quipped.

"She really does have a mouth on her," Tris said. "Gets her in trouble daily," he continued.

"I do. Lan and I made one once. My number one way to die is in my sleep when I'm a hundred and seventy-five," he said, grinning. Not that he'd live anywhere near that long; shifting and being a wolf really took a lot out of him.

"Well, it's not magic for us. Me. Whatever. It's a mutation. So, I dunno, there was a pretty wide range of abilities and shit -- like controlling the weather, phasing through walls -- but each person's mutation was pretty specific," he scratched the side of his neck, unsure if he was making sense to people who had never heard of their kinds of powers.

"Think I'd rather die during sex," he decided with a smirk, "but sure, one hundred and seventy-five sounds good."

He just assumed that was a ridiculous number since... no one lived that long. He didn't really think he would want to be that old, unless he didn't have to be all feeble and wrinkly for the majority of it.

"Huh. Dunno that I could handle that. Rather fond of the variety of spells we've got access to," Lily admitted. "Though controlling weather might be neat. We can't do that." Well, not that she was aware of, at any rate.

Tris grinned. "Right, but imagine how freaked out your partner would be if you keeled over mid-coitus? And what if they kept going?" His brows arched before he laughed quietly.

He plucked the remote free from Lily's hand as she scrolled too slowly through the adult channels. "Didn't we just go through this?" he chastised her before he settled on a comedy, putting the remote to the side and out of her reach.

"Not as neat as controlling fire," John insisted with a smirk, rolling his shoulders back against the chair. All right, weather could be neat, but he didn't think he would trade if it was possible. He didn't think he'd want to carry a wand around, either.

"Y'know, if I was dead, I don't think I would care how freaked out my partner was ... or if they kept going," he added with a grin before he pulled a slight face. This was a pretty gross conversation all of a sudden and he shook his head lightly.

"What? Does Lily have a porn fascination?" He asked, glancing towards the tv soon enough to catch the slow scroll work she had been doing.

"No, but apparently they had a thing here not ... so very long ago ... and she arrived in time to see a video of her parents--"

"Tristan, shut up," Lily muttered. "It was disturbing, all right? I was profoundly disturbed because it was my parents. If it had been anyone else ..."

"Your father still wouldn't want you watching it."

"I'm legal," she muttered before she sighed. At least he'd picked an entertaining movie. She shifted slightly to glance at John, sticking out her tongue at him before resettling herself against Tristan.

"Oh, god, that's horrible," John laughed, making a face at the idea of anyone seeing their parents doing ... what he assumed she had seen them doing. Briefly, he wondered how they had gotten videos of people having sex, but figured they didn't know anyway.

"Well, wait, how old are you? You might not be legal here," he pointed out teasingly, grinning when Lily stuck her tongue out at him. "I guess maybe creepy ass islands run by crazy doctors don't have age of consent laws, though."

What were they going to do? Build a jail and lock people in it? It probably wouldn't be any worse than already being kidnapped. Well, all right, it could be a lot worse, but whatever.

"Wizarding and Muggle legal," she said. "I'm eighteen." She rubbed absently at Tristan's leg. "Though anyone who knows me will tell you I act twelve." She shrugged; she was strangely fine with people thinking she was younger -- even if it was only because of her level of maturity.

"And really, what's it going to matter here? They kidnapped me, and ... put me here." She yawned, and rolled onto her back, lifting her head slightly to regard John. "There're kids here younger than me. Disturbing."

"It really is," Tris admitted. "Disturbing, I mean." He tugged at Lily's hair gently. "Going to sleep?"

"Thinking about it," she admitted. Granted, she was comfortable here, and she didn't want to miss out on any of the conversation ... so she figured she'd stick it out a bit longer.

He snorted at the idea of wizards having a separate legality than... "What the hell is a muggle?" He asked, baffled. "But yeah, can't imagine it matters here."

He might have guessed her age a year or two younger, but more based on looks. Maturity level was a pretty difficult thing to gauge and people of all ages acted different ways. Of course, looks could obviously be just as deceiving.

"Probably gonna head up to bed soon too." Or right now, but he had wanted to know what a muggle was.

"You're a Muggle," Lily said, brows elevating.

Tristan rolled his eyes and tugged at Lily's earlobe. "Non-magical people are called Muggles. Suppose it's our word for them. Witches and wizards with non-magical parents are Muggle-born -- we're so creative." He smiled softly. "Non-magical offspring of witches and wizards are called Squibs, so ... don't think you're the only ones stuck with odd sounding names," he added with a wink.

Lily smirked a little when John admitted to going to bed soon. It simply meant she'd won. Won what, she wasn't sure, but there it was. The fact that she was probably following shortly after was utterly irrelevant.

Yeah, all those names sounded pretty ridiculous. Muggles and squibs. He shook his head with a light smirk, pushing up out of his chair and stretching his arms up above his head with a quiet groan.

"Well, I'm taking my muggle ass to bed," he informed them with some amusement. "Try not to miss me too much," he added as he lifted his hand in a wave and started out of the rec room to head upstairs.
