!complete, day 17, location: museum, nymphadora tonks, remus lupin

Who: Remus Lupin & ~~Nymphadora~~ Tonks
What: Remus goes out to meet with Tonks.
Where: Outside the Museum
When: Day 17, 8:39am
Rating: PG
Status: Complete

After having had Rose and ~~her father~~ the Doctor check him over until they were satisfied he was as healthy as was possible, the still-bloody young werewolf was thanking them and carefully moving outside, lifting his eyes up to check the sun, since the clock didn't work, and he wasn't wearing his watch. It'd been left back at Hogwarts. He'd miss it, he liked the feeling of it on his wrist. And it was with this thought that he was rubbing his covered wrist, (long sleeves were a savior for bruised and battered boys) and starting down the steps of the museum. He had agreed to meet Miss Tonks this morning, but was hoping he'd be able to make it to the thrift store and find something that wasn't blood stained to wear. He didn't want her worrying over him too. Worrying for no reason, in his opinion.

Once he got to the bottom of the steps, he was looking up again, and trying to remember if the thrift store was left... or right.

She looked over, smiling in amusement at the forlorn stare. Then went over and tugged him by the wrist of his shirt now over to the seventies clothing. "Any chance of seeing you in something with big pointy lapels? And disco-dancing?" She was flipping through the clothing, giggling. "I'll do it if you do it." The dancing. Tonks would dress up in about anything. Except dresses.

"Charlie is one of my best mates. Charlie Weasley." She nodded, still picking through clothes that were popular when she was still in pigtails and getting scraped knees. Of course, that could mean that they were clothes just popular yesterday..so that wasn't a very good analogy. Ah well. "He's a dragon catcher now."

"Pointy lapels are nice," He'd been raised up with them being in fashion, so he liked the way they looked. "And I don't dance." He assured her with a little smile, as she flipped out a green-toned polyester shirt with the aforementioned pointy lapels, and long sleeves that were semi-puffy. Really, most of the clothes in here were seventies, there wasn't much that wasn't, only a very few things. Even the t-shirts were seventies shirts.

"I don't think I've ever heard of him.. though I did know a man named Weasley. Arthur, I think.. he dated a girl I knew, Molly Prewett."

Tonks herself was wearing bell bottomed jeans and a Partridge Family t-shirt, because she too shopped Thrift Store ala Captio. There was a small shudder that escaped when she recalled why exactly she had come for new clothes. All of that blood. All-- No, stop it Nymphadora. Back to the conversation. A smile appeared, eyebrow lifting upward. "Just a little one." Coaxed. "Won't tell a soul." The witch made a motion, as if to cross her heart, but stopped. It was a little morbid here, at least the last part was.

"They marry. Have seven kids! Charlie and I are the same age, so we were in Hogwarts together." Aw, Arthur and Molly dating..for some reason, that made Tonks smile. She never thought of them as anything but the Weasleys. It was like imagining the troubles that her dad had to go through for her mum.

"I don't dance, I'm sorry." He smiled more though, and was collecting up a new pair of jeans to replace the bloody ones he was wearing. Once he had them draped over his arm, he was slowly moving for the dressing room, though the door had been lost long ago and it didn't offer much privacy, it was the best he had.

"They marry? That's wonderful.. she was a very sweet girl. She deserves to be happy. But seven children?" My, that was a lot. And Remus, for a second, considered having seven children of his own, but dismissed it as easily as it'd come. He didn't want to risk passing on his curse. No werewolf had ever been documented as having bred with someone not infected. And he didn't want to be the first, the test subject. He didn't want to pass on something so awful to someone else, not through biting or blood.

In spite of the fact that she was obviously not looking, still pushing through shirts and jeans, Tonks gave a whistle and brief look up. She grinned a little but then was off somewhere else. Not too far, so that they could still talk. "Mhm. I also rather like the only girl of the clan, Ginny Weasley."

The younger witch couldn't imagine having kids right now. Not just because of her own age (and penchant for acting like a kid when she could) but because she couldn't imagine bringing a kid into the world right now. Afterward. When things settled down. That would be good. Chuckling at herself, she found something very sequiny. Two somethings very sequiny.

She headed off to the fitting rooms as well, quickly tossing sequined thing number two (the more masculine looking shirt) into Remus' dressing room before slipping into the other one. "Try it on? We'll come out at the same time."

As much as she loved playing around with Remus, tugging him into things that he'd simply be polite to do, it was also for herself that Tonks acted a little goofy. It was a way not to focus completely on the atrocities that have happened.

He was mostly changed when she tossed that sequined thing in at him, and he just barely managed to catch it before letting out a breath, this woman was crazy! .. But in a good way. She reminded him of his best friend, and that made him smile slowly. So much like Sirius Black, that silly girl beside him in the next dressing room over.

Still, he finished buttoning up that polyester shirt, straightening the sleeves, then he pulled on the vest, smoothed his hands along it, and then looked in the mirror. What he saw made him laugh, and he was finally coming out of the changing room, spreading his hands out some as he sparkled in the dim light. "We'll look like Sonny and Cher." And oh yes, he'd wear this around town, if you did, Tonks. He wouldn't do it alone, but with coaxing from a friend? You bet. He wasn't a marauder for nothing!

She was wriggling into her sequined shirt as well, laughing at her reflection as well. The seventies were so weird! Coming out of the dressing room, Tonks gave a quirky little spin in her diamond-like outfit, causing the dim light to catch on it.

"We do look like Sonny and Cher!" Exclaimed as she looked Remus over, eyebrows lifting. "You look quite dashing, Sonny Bono." Another grin appeared as she tilted her head. "We should dazzle people today." Heck yeah she wanted to wear it around town.

"You want to go out in public in these?" He looked down at his shiny golden-sequined shirt, then back up at her, eyebrows high in his forehead. Was she serious? Something about that smile told him that she was, and he made a small noise, then shook his head. Maybe not. "How about I follow you around while you're wearing yours, and remind you of how stunning you look in it?"

Shy werewolf, wasn't quite sure he wanted to wear this out where people would actually see him in it.

"Why not? It'd be pretty funny yeah?" And would make the people that they saw smile or laugh. The young witch liked that sort of thing. It was the Hufflepuff in her, one might suppose. But then Remus was talking about how he'd say that she looked stunning and that..well, it was blush-inducing. Smiling sheepishly and running a hand through her hair, which she was sure was some crazy sort of brightness now, Tonks laughed.

"It'd have to be a pair, if we did. Cher can't go anywhere without Sonny, after all." But she was willing to compromise, "Just round the store, then. But only if you give us a dance." It was sort of a compromise! Wasn't it?

It would be pretty funny, but Remus wasn't quite sure he was ready for that. He was in a strange place, with strange people, and murders were happening and.. well. He was a bit concerned, to say the least. He wasn't really eager to be putting on that shirt and be-bopping around town just yet. Maybe once he'd lost his mind.

"We could be a pair, and I'll wear it around the store, but I won't dance. I don't dance. I sit out the Yule Ball every year, I don't dance." Even in class.. he'd played up his tiredness from the impending full moon, and he'd been allowed to sit it out. Sneaky, evil wolf.

"I sat out the couples dancing, but only because I didn't want to break anyone's feet." Admitted with a chuckle. She was sort of spastic, after all. And generally only joined in the spastic sort of dancing. "One dance move. Any one you want. And then I'll let you alone about it." Tonks was smiling sweetly. Please?

Of course, what she meant was that she'd let him alone about it right now. Might try to wheedle another dance sometime later. If they ever danced around here. Hard to find reasons to dance with so much going on. The same with back at home; she'd wheedle the older Remus for a dance too. Just for some semblance of normalcy and fun. Tonks was rocking back and forth on her heels, waiting for the answer even as she was gathering up her old clothes and draping them over the broken dressing room door. It wasn't for cleanliness that she did that, but to keep her clothes known from the pile of clothes all around.

"I don't think so, Tonks." He was smiling a little as he said it though, and was gathering up his own clothes, then moving to drape them atop hers. "Enough play time, come on. We've got things to get done." And things to worry about. Lots of things to worry about, in fact. He was slowly beginning to take off the sequin shirt, draping it over top of the other things, as he looked down at the red Chucks he was wearing.

Then he looked back up at the older witch. "A hat." He finally conceded. "I'll wear any hat you please." There you go, Tonks!
