A Living Nightmare.

Open RP, if anyone feels like taking on a slightly desperate Remus. If there's more than one person that wants to drop by to talk to him, each conversation will be treated separately. <3

------------------------------------------------------ Remus knows well enough that he should be in his room. He knows that his place right now is with his wife, ( Read more... )

"We must be. We just... must." Or else? She doesn't know, but she can't indulge with thinking about it. Not when stupid things look so attractive.

Her lips twitch, humourlessly. "Oh, I didn't see him... well I did see him entering the dormitory, but he's head of the house, and I wasn't sure it was him, and that he was moving in, and..." She bites her lip, cutting herself out. "I couldn't see him. He had the cloak on. He talked to me afterwards though... I was not his 'mission'. It should have been me..." A hard breath through clenched throat, and she leans her head so towards him. "I... I will try not to." She means that, as her hands tighten around him.

"How are you?"

ooc: Livid. Yeah. If Remus gets Furry, then Tonks wants Dolohov. Badly.
If you want. I was thinking they could soak the parchment in some slow-acting poison that will make Dolohov lose the fingers with which he holds the parchment? But generally, if you'll be writing a response to Dolohov? Remus can very easily include that his wife will not rest till she has returned quid pro quo everything that is done to her son and husband.

Rage towards Severus makes him look away for a brief moment, the muscle in his jaw twitching as he tries to contain his feelings.

Kill him, the beast inside him snarls very clearly in his ear. Kill him. Get him. Hunt him NOW. Blood. His blood. Severus' blood, it's only fair. KILL HIM. He sacrificed Teddy; now it's his turn.

There has only been very few instances when his anger flares this way; when he's so willing to give in to the beast he usually buries deep down when there's no full moon. Once had been with Peter at the shack. Another time with Bellatrix, when she had taken Harry. Then it had been with Fenrir. Now it's with Severus. He had touched his family. He had hurt his family. He was still hurting his wife.

But he pushes the feelings aside. Again. He buries it and ignores that desperate need somewhere in him, because his Dora needs him right now. His son needs him here when he returns.

"I am...not sure what to make of anything," he responded, his voice managing to hide everything. Heh, he's suddenly glad for so much practice he has had over the years on how to act normal when he's not. "I'm still...waiting for him to walk through the door."

ooc: She might have to remind him not to be selfish, then, because Remus wants both. And now. -_-
I honestly have no idea how to let him respond, especially because he doesn't want to worry anyone more than what they already are. Oi. Lemme think about this for a bit...? I need to figure out what he'd do once he's not so livid.

Oh, his voice may conceal, but she's close enough to feel his body grow rigid for a moment, and then the effort to suppress that. She nods, unconsciously, to that. Not that she approves of holding it in before her, but that he's not doing anything rash.

"He... That would be lovely, if he did, wouldn't it?"

ooc: *stares at his comment on Ted* No, he's not going alone. He just isn't. If he makes the thread locked, she's just going to go after him. And I'm sure you can see that.

His lips tug very slightly again and he nods, his body still shaking just a little from the rage he's still trying to get rid of.

"It would be." A beat. "It's foolish to think so, perhaps, but... I can't help it."

ooc: Actually, I think he'll just do a challenge post in HPSWS for now. If Dolohov shows up, then she can show up too. If not, it can serve as a way of him informing others of what he got.

"It's not foolish. It's looking at things more brightly than I can right now. I... still can't believe he's... taken."

Feeling the tremor still, she pulls back a little, to look at him. She'd... like to think of a way right now for him to be able to release that anger. But her mind's locked down. Room of Requirement? She blinks at her own thought.

"I really wonder what the Room of Requirement would hold for us, if we were to walk into it right now."

Oh yeah, her mind seems to be shooting random sparks. Just not anything really useful.

ooc: Ahh, challenge post. She'd show up, yes. If Dolohov does. Just hoping it won't mean more harm for Teddy... *wibbles*

Shaking his head, he looks down for a moment. "I don't want to go anywhere. Not yet. I want to stay here, in case..."

But he trails off, not willing himself to continue; if he continues to get his hopes up, then...

...no. He just can't.

ooc: :X I hope not. But, like I said, if he doesn't? He could still tell her about the owl he got.

I have to log off for a bit, though, but I'll be back later. <3

She understands, so very well. It's her turn to lift his chin up a little, so he looks at her. "I love you for the hopes you're keeping up, ever. I ..." The little bubble of energy pops and she just holds on to him. "Please, may I stay with you?"

I need your arms around me like never before.

ooc: Umgh. The way he phrased it, Tonks just couldn't stay off.
*hugs* Have a good time. I should get around to sleep... <333

His arms wrap around her as soon as she holds onto him, and he nods slightly.

"Of course, love," he murmurs into her hair. "But we will go to bed soon, too. You need to rest."

She had been hexed, after all; she needed rest. He would pick her up himself if he had to.

When did 'I want your arms around me' turn into 'I need your arms around me' anyway? She reminded herself she was supposed to be the one with the bounce, the loud one, the comic relief...
And it didn't work now.
His embrace did more good than her own mental propping.

"Thank you. And... bed, whenever you are ready. Don't want to take you away. Don't want to be leave you alone."

Picking her might not be a bad idea, although she'd be far from willing to ask for it. But...

"How about... sitting down on those steps...?"

With a small nod he moves with her towards the stairs, an arm looped around her protectively. Once there he sits and sits her on his lap, wanting to feel her close.

He would be home soon.

Soon, he has to be back soon.

She leans against him, on him. Her stomach is still clenched, her heart is still bleeding, her body is still drained, but the warmth of him, the closeness, the care - warm her up and help. His breathing and his heartbeat and his hope. Her smiles are missing now, but she takes up his palm and rubs it... just to let him know she's there. Right there.
