[maraudingmutt]

[There seems to be an unfamiliar (unless, that is, you're Lupin) teenager wandering around the town, glancing at the shops and such thoughtfully. Despite how he may have acted towards Remus on the matter, Sirius had every intention of getting a job. . .He wasn't about to let Remus do all the work, after all. He just wasn't sure what he wanted to do. He swept back an ebony bang from in front of cool gray eyes as he thought on the matter, hand shoved in his pocket. He couldn't think of anything in particular that he really wanted to do. . .and maybe his little walk would give him some idea.]

[He's going to be putting one arm around your shoulders energetically. He seems to be in a rather good mood.]

". . . Well. I think. . ."

[He lowered his voice so only Remus could hear him.]

". . .I'll just pretend for now that the dog and I are two totally different people. You know. See how long it takes for people to catch on."

[He grinned happily, seeming amused with his little plan. Really, there seemed to be nothing better to do on this island.]

{Despite himself he smiles a little more.}

I thought you'd do something like that.

{That arm might have made him flinch a bit though.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[He noticed that flinch, his grin fading slightly.]

" . .You alright there, mate?"

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, Pads.

{He doesn't like lying, but it's better than you worrying.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[He's eying you with disbelief now.]

". . . Moony."

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

Padfoot.

" . . Fine, fine. Keep your secrets."

[He snorted pulling his arm away. He hates the fact that you don't seem to want to be too open with him, but whatever.]

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{And now he's put you off and feels guilty...so he'll mutter.}

The moon isn't on a proper cycle here...

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

" . . I don't think anything is on a proper cycle here."

[He seemed thoughtful though. This bit did cause some problems after all - it would be difficult to tell when Remus would change. . .]

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{He shudders.}

I know...It's just I wake up sick one morning and then the next I'm fine.

{It was wreaking havoc on his body and mind.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[He honestly seems to be giving this some serious thought. Truth be told. . unfortunately they didn't know a whole lot about the island. . .Even if anything could be done about it. He doesn't really seem to know what to say quite yet. The sickness would be bad. . .but it would be worse if you were to change without warning - especially if it's surrounded by other people.]

" . . Don't take this the wrong way, mate. . . But. . .I. . think we should keep close until we figure out what the bloody hell is going on with this place. . ."

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{He shivers and reaches for your arm though he pulls back before he actually gets there.}

That would make me feel better.

{He confessed quietly.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[There's a moment of silence before he speaks up. If he noticed you reaching for his arm, there was no indication.]

" . . I'm sure you'd hate the intrusion, Mooney. . . But do you suppose that guy in the suit you work for could use another hand around that Italian place?"

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

I don't think they'd have a problem hiring you, but you'd have to talk to them...

{He doesn't think it's an intrusion at all. I mean if you were trying to read over his shoulder that'd be a crime but working with him is okay.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

" . . Speaking of those guys. . . Don't they come off as a bit. . . off to you?"

[He's frowning a little.]

" . . and there was definitely something weird with that cat."

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{Remus rolls his shoulders.}

I'm....not sure. Maybe, but I have to say my attention hasn't really been focused on them...

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

" . .Can't say I exactly blame you, honestly."

[He's going to be putting his hands behind his head with a bit of a sigh. He really wished James was here. . . He felt really odd without him around, honestly. Somewhat out of sorts.]

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we'll figure it out once I adjust to this place and we're not so distracted.

{His voice stayed soft and low.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

". . Yeah. . . And besides~"

[He's going to be putting his arm around your shoulders again, offering his bright grin.]

". . . Everything will be fine here~ You've got me here, after all~!"

[. . Somehow this statement is supposed to make you feel better. It's not like he has a knack for trouble or anything, mate~]

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{He leans ever so slightly into you, hardly enough to be noticed.}

Of course....

{He isn't sure what would happen to him if he was the only marauder on the island.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[If he noticed, he didn't seem to have any problem with it as he didn't react to it.]

". . I wonder if they've noticed us missing from classes yet. . . I didn't do that transfiguration essay for McGonagall anyways. I wonder if being whisked away to a tropical island paradise is a good enough excuse. . ."

[He gave one of his little bark-like laughs in amusement at the thought. Not that he really cared about the essay anyways. He just wondered who, if anyone, would believe them when they got home.]

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

I believe... I heard my employers talk about not knowing about this place when we return home.

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

" . . Really? Man, and here I was hoping to get to brag to Prongs about being stuck on a tropical island paradise with you~~"

[He was still grinning with his little joke.]

". . .He'd be so jealous not to join in on the fun~ . . .Because we're just that much sexier than Evans, you know."

[marauding-wolf.livejournal.com]

{His cheeks redden slightly, but he follows the joke in true Marauder fashion.}

Of course we are, so sexy, in fact, that it serves him right missing out on us. If he's going to chase a bird we're better off.

{Teasingly, he lays a hand on your arm and slants his eyelids downward, while his lips curl in a secret smile.}

Besides, Pads, I kind of like it when it's just the two of us.

{Somehow, you always manage to distract him from his ever looming problems.}

[marauding-mutt.livejournal.com]

[. . You seriously have no idea how tempted her is to kiss you - just to see what your reaction is. For once, however, he's going to think before acting and instead settle on just pressing a little closer against you.]

". . . Oh~ So do I, Moony. You know how I just can't resist you~"
