[And that finger snap is enough to jolt the poor, worn-looking young man's attention straight to Izzy. Those eyebrows slightly arch at the sight of the very pretty and mysterious girl (he's only spoken to those he's been familiar with so far in Somarium) and it takes him nearly a full moment to find his tongue to answer. Remus had almost forgotten about this phone...thing during his nap.]
While I won't deny being vaguely confused, I can assure you that I am mostly well.
[He finally manages to give the girl a sheepish smile.] I seem to have woken up at an inconvenient time. Last I remember I was in an actual bed... Hence the confusion.
If you can get to a lower apartment, you should be fine. Or you can just camp out on that roof until the water goes away. It can't just trap us here indefinitely.
Incredible, [he murmurs mostly to himself. He's heard the stories, of course, but he really couldn't believe all he heard from his trickster friends. But from this stranger...?]
Ah, you will have to forgive my rudeness. This whole stressful situation has distracted me from my manners.
Remus Lupin. [He smiles and gives a brief nod of his head.] Thank you for your sage advice so far, Miss..?
[Maaaan, this is the kind of time he wishes he had something much more exciting to say about his average life.] Mostly schoolwork. Yes, I realize just how lame that sounds, but I'm in my last year of school, so there's a lot to complete.
[And Remus, clever boy he is, knows much better than to reveal anything of his wizard life. He can't quite tell if this girl, who seems to be far too perceptive for her own good, is a muggle or a witch yet.]
Too many things. I can't quite decide which subject in particular suits me the best or will keep my interest. Though teaching is always an option.
And yourself, Isabelle. What kind of hobbies keep your interest when you are not helping out poor, confused newcomers?
Hey. You okay?

Um, yes, I am. Thank you.

Good. You never know. Especially when people just kind of...hang out on rooftops looking vaguely confused.

Yeah, probably best you aren't in a bed, though - everything flooded. You can probably see that, though.

Hm, I'm a little stumped on how to get out of this situation.

[a dismissive flap of her hand.] Whatever. This place is really annoying sometimes.

Nice to meet you, Remus. Nice name.

It's a pleasure. And, uh, [Yes, he's a little embarrassed by the compliment.] thank you.

You're welcome. So what do you do when you're not stressed out? Besides be totally polite.
