Who: Remus Lupin & Rose Tyler & Tonks
What: Remus has gone looking for Rose.
Where: The Gym
When: Day 24, 3:26PM
Rating: PG
Status: Active

Rose had told him a few days ago that she'd be in the gym. So that was where he was headed. The lack of sun made him a little nervous, he had to admit.. but the fact that there was no moon at all? No moon in the evening sky that had lasted for four days now? That was unnerving. Something was very wrong, and he hoped that it had nothing at all to do with him.

The bugs, for the most part, weren't much of a bother.. he had to swat a few away, but they hadn't tried attacking him. It was a good thing, he'd had enough of being attacked. First birds, then zombies? He wasn't sure he could handle bugs. They were just here to get rid of the corpses, he was sure, since he'd seen a swarm of them eating a body on the side of the road. Thinking about it made him a little sick to his stomach, so he was quickly changing topics in his mind. Rose. He wanted to find Rose.. wanted to make sure that she was alright, see if there was anything he could do for her.. and ask if she minded if he stayed with her at the gym. He'd stayed the last few nights with the Doctor, but the man came and went at odd hours and it always woke him up. And sometimes, he'd feel eyes on him, and he knew that man was staring at him. He knew it was because he was a werewolf. With Rose there, he'd focused most of his attention on her.. but without her? Well.. he was just ready to have her back.

So he was carefully stepping into the gym and looking around that wide open space. He hadn't been in here since his second day in this place, where that nice doctor had bandaged him up. Most of those bandages were gone now, his wounds were healing over nicely, and only the gauze on the back of his hand remained. "Rose?" He called out into the dark of the gym. He could see people, he could hear movement, but it was hard to tell who was who, without any light. Even for him.

It was more than his brain that was winning the game. Remus was an intuitive young man. Rose had always known that. Except that bit where he'd thought the Doctor was her father. Couple, yes, parent and child? Not quite! Otherwise? Remus was slightly brilliant with the reading people thing. He always seemed to know the people around him, even without talking to them.

While she considered the choices, Rose shifted to lay on her stomach, her head propped in her hands like a kid at a sleepover. May as well, this felt like one of those games they would've played at a sleepover. "I... This is a trick question, isn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. "I mean... I can't picture you wandering around in a princess costume. That's just goofy. But it seems to obvious." There were downfalls about being as smart as Remus was. People got on to you if you made it too simple. "And I think you look better in blue, so... I'm going with the first one. Green."

Knowing Remus when he was older was both a boon and a burden in this game. Boon because she had particular knowledge about things, but burden because people could (and did) change when they got older. And Tonks only knew the older one. There was a moment of respite in playing this game with friends, like nites where she and Sirius and Remus would stay up late and do ridiculous things. Just to fend off the overhanging sense of impending worry. The content made hair, which hadn't seen colour in a while, shift into a subtle red. Well, Weasley Red wasn't subtle per se. But moreso than the pinks and greens and blues that her hair tended to go. Natural? Something.

She was also debating the merits of Remus' answers. The having a cat one was automatically tossed out. Animals weren't too keen on him, poor dear. His favourite colour was blue when he was older..but could logically be green when he was younger..but having the boys dress up as princesses (or Polyjuice into girls entirely) seemed very Marauder dare like. So she was staring at the younger wizard in contemplation, and then grinned. Tonks was going with obvious. Remus would be very purloined letter about it, after all. Hide what you want to hide in front of everyone's faces. "You lot dressed up as princesses? Whose idea was that?"

He waited until Rose answered before looking at Tonks.. but then she called him on it, and he flushed deeply and looked down at his hands, then shook his head and looked up again, smiling. "James, it was his idea." Then he turned his head to explain to Rose. "James is a mate of mine, we attend school together, he and his best mate, Sirius, are always getting us into trouble.. well, mostly getting the two of them into trouble. Sometimes he drags Peter, our other mate, and me along with him. But Peter and I are so well behaved that even when we get caught, sometimes we're let off the hook because the Professors don't really believe that we could have been in on the silly prank." With that explained, he was smiling more brightly, remembering his friends.

"It was Halloween, last year. James thought it'd be brilliant if two out of four of us went as Princesses to the ball, so that we'd all have dates." Since they certainly hadn't had dates, James had been pining for Lily and Sirius had turned down girls left and right. Why? Because of the plan. "James and I ended up in dresses and I went with Peter, while James went with Sirius. I don't even know how I got talked into it, something about being a coward." The werewolf laughed and rubbed a hand through sandy hair. "I'm easy to goad if you know what buttons to push."

For a long moment, Rose simply stared at the teenager. He'd actually done it? Really? But her stare quickly faded because she had to close her eyes while she giggled. "Seriously?" she sputtered, grinning widely. "Seriously? You wore a pretty princess dress? Did you use those beauty charms to make yourself look lovely?"

She grinned up at him, reaching over to poke his knee. "No, no, what I want to know is, if you could wear high heels. Even I hate wearing them and I'm a girl. The uh, biological sort," she added with a snicker. Glancing up at Tonks, she smiled brightly. Personally, she couldn't wait to hear the witch's truth. And the two lies the girl was bound to create.

She knew it! Giggling as well, half in imagining Remus in a dress and half because Rose's giggle were infectious, she flashed Remus a grin and waggled her eyebrows playfully. Then pointedly looked over to Rose, "Don't let his innocent face fool ya. The Marauders are full of stories like that! Somma which are his brainchilldren for sure." Calling her friend out twice, Tonks was.

Squirming where she was, since it was her turn, the redhead thought about it. "Mm.." Then, once she decided on her statements, Tonks lifted her eyebrows. "One of my favourite colours is brown.." She began thoughtfully, "I was Head Girl, and nearly got kicked out of Auror training for impersonating my instructor and fooling people with it." Really, any of them could have been true (save for the brown thing).

Remus flushed deeper when Rose got on him about the princess problem, but he continued to smile. "No, we forewent the make-up, but we did grow our hair out and twist it up," he made a gesture upwards with his hand as if to indicate. "And no high-heels, thank goodness, I think I would have broken my ankle. I'm afraid I'm not the graceful sort. Not really." But he was nothing like clumsy Tonks.

And as the statements came, he paused and thought on them for a second before pointing to her hair. "Brown isn't your favorite color," Since brown was never in her hair. "And I don't think that if you wanted to be an Auror badly enough that you went to the trouble of getting into the program and beginning your training, that you'd risk being thrown out for something silly like that.. so I'm going with the bit about you being Head Girl." Logic won out. Always.
