[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She frowns slightly.
Ah, he already had it in his head that any sort of camping they'd do it'd be the on-the-run type.
"I have somethings, yes. But there would be some we'd have to get, yes. But it would be best to travel as light as possible."
Says the person who nearly depleted all their magical stores by carrying around her school trunk with god-knows-what still in it.
She shook her head with a roll of her eyes at him.
"I still don't think that would fly in high-class society... I'm not one to flaunt money around like that, even if I did have it."
She chuckled. "Ah, so I am not to influence you in the way my brother influences yours?" She snickers. "The only misbehaving I'll get is bedroom games? Hm?"
Bedroom games was a funny way to refer to it too, really. So old-fashioned. Like sex was some sort of taboo, nasty thing that no one was involved in. Like yeah, if that were you wouldn't exist.
She smiles, raising her arms over her head in a stretch. "Well, I'd hate to ruin and offend your sensibilities, so I'll keep my filthy mouth to myself, I suppose."
She then looked at him. "Do you even know if you have a type, Reg? Or did I just barge into your life, bat my eyes, and proposition you and that was it?"
She snorted softly, but then her eyes turned cold and she sits up, pulls away from him.
"Is that the kind of person you think I am? I'm just here because you bought me a flat? Gave me some magic to help my transformations?!"
Her eyes turned dark. "Do you think I'm the type of person who would just tell you outright that I'm in love with you, just because of all this?"
She was upset now and she's off the couch wand in hand.
"You should know that money is of little to no consequence of me. I should've known that accepting one person's supposed kindness would create an image of me."

A nod. "I guess I need help knowing what would be taken since I've never done that before. It would make sense to try it once before hand, but I don't know how to pull that off. Do you want me to try and set something up?" Being gone overnight was the problem. His parents seemed to still think that the DE was something like a day job and then he would be home for supper every night and breakfast every morning. Frustrating to say the least.
Clearly she had her own opinion about how the high classes lived and didn't believe his hypothesis. He frowned, a bit bothered she put down his thoughts so easily. He was a legal adult, but stuck in that until he finished at Hogwarts he could not legally use magic or hold a job. A little thought whispered to him that maybe she liked being the only one who could do things in this. He tried to ignore that thought since he had been doing things for her, but that made him just a touch paranoid.
What if she really was just using him?
Maybe that was why he didn't put as much in his voice. "Oh no, I think you've influenced me a lot" a twitch while looking across the room she couldn't quite see "but verbally it's a skill I'm expected to use in my assignments so I can't let that part change much." Besides, they both knew the DE was rather touchy anyway, winning through violence and stealth. The reports in the papers of people simply disappearing and everyone trying to figure out what they had done to deserve it were frequent.
That seemed to amusingly miff her so he turned back to her trying to be soothing. "Oh no you don't! You don't need to change a habit for me! I just have to try and not pick it up. I like you just the way you are, but don't stop changing for me, love!" She asked him if he had a type and he wasn't sure really when she asked him, but the answer came out anyway. "I told you I never really thought about it, knew my parents were telling me to think about other stuff and they'd take care of it. I never really had a chance to figure that out before you."
When she sat up during his self-doubts and spoke, he didn't get it at first. Hadn't he just been asking... His eyes grew wider at her, clearly not sure where this had come from. "Excuse me? I ask you if I'm worth while and you think it's a slur towards you?" He felt a touch of anger at her assumptions, the way she thought of him as that shallow. "Hey now! That's not nice! I offered you a job helping me out and got you a place in exchange because you were trying to lose your brother! Romance was afterwards and on top of our agreement!"
What happened to 'I love you' and 'Alpha?' Looking at her wand but not having pulled his yet he added "Why this sudden change? What did I do to betray you so bad you pull a wand on me?" He felt confused and threatened by someone he had come to trust...

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She shook her head.
"I don't want to be undue stress on you. You've done so much..."
She was torn. While camping leisurely would be fun, a sort of escape... it just didn't seem plausible.
She rose a brow. The DL expected him to be naive? Is that what she was hearing? Something about that just seemed... off.
DE, DL... she rubbed her eyes.
"I suppose I have influenced you a lot, in a lot of things."
She looked to her wand, in her hand, she hadn't picked it up threateningly now. It was a habit. She moved, it went with her. She set it down, shaking.
She closed her eyes, suddenly solemn.
She didn't know what had come over her. It must've been the course of the conversation. The talk about the high-class situation had brought her down slightly, and then ask that sort of question.
She bit down on her bottom lip. The question just made her feel like she was using him.
She realized she took it the wrong way, but it was still a knife to the gut, in a way.
Sobering, she lifted her head.
"I interpreted your question incorrectly. I apologize."
Her voice was soft. But she knew the apology wasn't going to be enough. She knew she'd thrown a rift in with this outburst of hers. Shown an ugly side of her that had been built over years of the mistreatment from other people.
The judgements of others.
She held remorse and regret in her eyes.
She ran a hand through her hair, bringing her hand down her face, an action she'd seen on her brother a thousand times when he was thinking of something stressful.
Her insecurities had flared in the worst way. Touched by something so simple. Normally, normally she would be able to play it off. When she was closely guarded, her brain more active than her heart.
But here she was. Brain inhibited by her feelings. Now she remembered why this was dangerous.
She exhaled heavily, picked up her wand again, and with a mutter, she was dressed.
"I don't know what to do. Or say. I recognize that my reaction was bad. Wrong. Terrible. My own insecurities flared up and I spoke before I thought about my words."
She clenched her jaw a moment. "I usually don't react like that, but it's a testament of how far my walls have come down. It doesn't make up for my reaction, I know. Took it the wrong way."
Wand placed down again. She was flipflopping, she knew. Instinct was to bolt, but she was trying to be mature.
"You didn't betray me. I picked up my wand... my instinct was to bolt. Which is even more wrong of me."
She shook her head, trying to fight through her guilt to find the words she needed to say.
"I'm sorry."
And trying to give him the answer he deserved, "I get that you want to be useful. You are worthwhile. I just meant to say that... even if we don't have a lot of money... I won't be sad."
Not like that explanation matters, now.

Puzzled look. "But you've been revealing my stress. That's been helping..." Okay so she was the stress for several OTHER things, but those weren't happening yet. That was going to be in the future probably. Somehow unknown to him she mixed up his not learning curse words from her as being naive for the DE; he would never know how badly she listened to what he said in this instance, but the worst was yet to come.
Rose started being threatening and when he questioned her on it she stopped, looking at the wand in her hand. No sweat appeared on his forehead because he knew he hadn't done anything like she was implying and slowly she seemed to reach the same conclusion. "I was going to say. You had me worried there, packmate." What did an Alpha call the rest of the pack? He wasn't at all sure nor did he think he could get away with it. She talked about her insecurities and emotions getting in the way and then dressed, surprising him again.
Regulus hopped off the couch, holding up a hand. "Stop. You promised to obey me." He stepped over to her, catching the hand with the wand and putting it back down at her side as he stepped up close. "I can see you are dealing with something. You say it's a mistake in wording, but I get the feeling it ties into something else you are dealing with." He swallowed then let go of her hand and stepped away.
"I'm ready for you to be my one and only, but you are having second thoughts. I think we both need time. If it makes you feel better, get that book and we're even. I'll send you what little I know about it's possible copy when I get home. You stay, I won't be back this week. Just promise me" He turned with a serious face on "That you will tell me to my face before you leave."
Stepping into the fireplace he raised a hand to the grate and said finally "I don't except paper thoughts, Alpha female." Then he touched the grate and it slid down, him disappearing with it as he went home.

She didn't respond nor move at all.
He left and she just... she needed air. Her brain started racing. She was near the Shrieking Shack, she could get to there. The walk would do her good.
Another swish of her wand had her bundled up. She wasn't leaving, leaving. Just taking a walk.
She apparated outside and stumbled slightly. Right, apparating when emotionally imbalanced was bad too. At least she didn't splinch herself.
I'm ready for you to be my one and only.
Her eyes closed as she pushed on towards the Shrieking Shack.
He would cut off his arm for him, just for freedom. But was it really freedom?
She felt terrible. Unsure of what to do.
