It was something to do. Something to keep him busy. And he thought it might do a lot of people a lot of good to be wearing clean clothes. They could even wash their bodies with a cloth and the nice-smelling water. But when she clearly understood what he was doing, Remy was lifting a hand and pressing a naked forefinger to his lips and making a 'shh' noise. He had really been hoping to be left alone, he didn't want people to know he was doing this. Remy LeBeau was not a good guy, and he didn't want to be seen as one.
He lowered his hand a second later. "Oui, gonna nee' uh clot'esline. Bu' don' tell no one I'm doin' 'dis, d'accord? Gonna make two se's, one f' me an' one for 'de ot'ers, leave 'dem in town in 'de mornin'. 'Dis stay 'tween you an' me, non?" Don't go blabbing his secret, Tonks! "Y' wan' yours washe'? Go' uh coa' you can where while 'dey ge' clean an' dry." Well, somewhat dry, anyway. Remy could hang them over the fire to dry out quicker, but if they were damp, it was okay. It was raining, after all.
