Bi-Weekly Challenge: Control.
Who? Remus Lupin (and guest)
What? It's all about control.
When? grownhp6words timeline.
Why? Because there's more than one reason why he snarled at Deputy Headmaster Wilkes.
( Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today. Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left. I don't know what stressed me first, or how the pressure was fed but I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head. It's like a face that I hold inside; a face that awakes when I close my eyes; a face watches every time I lie; a face that laughs every time I fall. (And watches everything) So I know that when it's time to sink or swim, that the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin. It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back, it's like a whirlwind inside of my head, it's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within; it's like the face inside is right beneath my skin. )

Fenrir isn't a patient man, per say, but he knows how to wait. It's part of the hunt, and for this one? His heir. His pride and joy? For Remus, Fenrir can wait till stars burn out.
He's resting against a wall, half-smiling. "...you should have killed him."

Another flick of the cigarette, and Remus turns to watch the ashes fall. His stomach twists again as Remus hears just how detached his voice sounds, but he suddenly finds it hard to really care.
"Who should I have killed?"

Fenrir continues to watch Remus, before pushing off the wall, and beginning to shuffle in place. Waiting, biding time, so close to a full moon...it was...difficult. He was hungry. His whole body pulsed and rolled. He wondered how Remus could appear so cool and collected.
But at least he was talking sense now.
"But you know, there are better ways to make them suffer." He looks up, flexing the fingers of his disfigured hand. "There's better ways...of making them 'see the light.'...I would have thought a teacher would know that."

If he would have followed Fenrir, this is what he'd look like; with that dangerous expression of someone who's ready to snap, yet collected enough to weigh and measure his prey correctly before striking for the kill.
"...you never taught me. How should I know?" He takes another drag of the cigarette before standing. In the room just steps away from them there's some noise, noise of claws scratching roughly against the door as the wolf keeps insisting on getting out, and Remus turns back to Fenrir with a tilt of his head. "'Better ways,' hm?"
