Alice

[mooningremus]

Remus had stayed in Willy's flat. Of course he had. Where else would he go? And honestly, Remus had been too poor and beaten down for too long to allow his pride to make him stupid. He'd managed to hold down a job at a bookshop, enough to buy groceries and the lease on the storage unit and start to save. Because he kept just assuming this would end. That Willy would come back and ask him to leave, or someone would show up demanding rent. But it had been months and neither of those things had happened yet.

He was also achingly lonely.

He had just opened the oven to check on a loaf of rosemary ciabatta, when he heard a sound behind him. And he turned just in time to see a woman stepping out of the floor length mirror.

His hand went to his wand instinctively.

"Right," said Remus, and stopped playing with the ring.

"I mean, you're right. He clearly has no interest in coming back here."

"There are many tales of mortals who taste the fae world and lament it's loss. My advice to you, Remus, is this. Do not let the absence of it drive you. You will go mad before the fae take mercy on you."

[mooningremus]

Remus truly didn't think it was because Willy was fae. But he didn't say that.

He just nodded. "It's all right, I'm accustomed to being alone."

"You should find a pack, little wolf. You would be happier. I know many, would you like to meet them?" she offered.

[mooningremus]

Remus looked uncomfortable. "The other werewolves I have met are... not good people."

[alice_fair]

"How do you mean?" Alice asked. She knew quite a few that she'd deem good. However, she knew what she considered 'good' may well differ from that of a wizard.

[mooningremus]

"I mean they're killers," said Remus flatly.

[alice_fair]

She was momentarily confused.

"...Yes?"

That was the nature of the wolf, after all.
