Apologies for the delay in replying, doesn't time fly by when it's in March?! But, grovelling apart, thank you for the kind words about this. I've long had lots of ideas about the psychological toll Remus' mission would take on him, and in order to be really mean and have him completely off balance from the word go, I wanted him not only in a werewolf world he should be familiar with but very definitely isn't, and also in a completely out-of-the-way Muggle world, where it's literally back to basics and living off the land. In effect, there's nothing he can rely on as familiar or reassuring out here, and he's cut himself off from Tonks, the one thing he can.

As you can see, I may have thought about this far too much, lol. But here, at the very beginning, I wanted him all fired up with determination to make a difference, and just starting to realise the enormity of what and who he is up against. I usually find the most scary things are normal, everyday moments given a different implication so am delighted to read you liked the crisp part!

Many thanks, DLF.:D
