[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She quirked a brow. Ah. Ah! She had remembered something.
"The hierarchy in wolves doesn't really work when it's one or two. We're pretty much equal. Wolves like Fenrir, who governs sever dozen... well, it's a no wonder they consider him Alpha; even if it's just out of fear, and not the democracy it should be."
She laughed, "though, even putting democracy into it is a very human idea."
Her grin then turned teasing. "I'm sure you wouldn't like to refer to me as sister, now would you?"
A waggle of a brow.
"I'll make a point of not lazing about without clothing. It's too cold for that anyway. Make it easier for you to come and go." A grin. "You'll be able to tell if I'm in the shower. Believe me."
A blink. "Well, I was under the understanding that the Floo worked much like apparation. You visualize where you wanna go, just that you give a name to it when you do. I'd called it 'The Den'."
She snickers and watched as he slipped out the window and turned to the fireplace, lighting the logs with her wand to get some heat into the place.

"Are you perchance referring to my brother and his friends with their silly names?"
She grinned. "Those are things that they made up on their own, and... while I do suppose that adds to the camaraderie... I haven't ever really thought about it. Even I used to use the nickname they gave my brother. It fit. Unfortunately they never really came up for one for me. My name is kind of a nickname as it is."
A giggle. "Pack, packmate, that's pretty much the only terms I know. To be honest, I haven't really done much research, I've done things my own way, how I feel comfortable with things."
A day or two huh? And having to be discreet. She would have to leave at least once to gather food and supplies. Though she had a feeling she'd spend most of her time sleeping. She hadn't been able to sleep without having to worry in so long.
"I know the theory," she said. "Haven't had a need to try one."
She tilted her head as he ran his fingers through her hair, a short wave of self-consciousness running through her. This place had a bath, right? Oh, she would love for a bath. Supplies, she would need supplies.
"I would need floo powder. I do hope it's connected."
She looked at him, expression soft.

"It worked, it... definitely worked."
She nodded in agreeance. She smirked at him struggling for a nickname. "We don't need nicknames. Silly. It's confusing, my instincts vs human nature. I'm not... I don't expect you do fall into line with everything."
She was indeed saddened that he would be having to go away, not ready to be alone after everything. But it was, what it was. She pulled away from him only to lean back in to rub her cheek against his, and briefly snuffle into his hair. Like an apology, but her words followed it as well.
"I'm sorry I kept you. If it comes to more than a tongue lashing, I'm quite skilled with healing charms as well."
She nodded.
"I have plenty of hug in me." She laughs lightly.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She didn't try to talk to him, knowing somehow through her mental break down, that she had thrust herself upon him in the most intimate way she could deem possible at this moment. She wasn't expecting him to know what to do with her and her tears.
She just appreciated his arms around her.
Felt like home. Safe.
It was more than she could ask for.
It was intense but shorter than what one would expect and she pulled away with a breath. She was looking him in the eyes now, her hand moving to his cheek before she really commanded it to do so.
Her eyes drifted downwards and back up to his eyes. No, stop. It wouldn't be right.
She swallowed thickly, as she slid closer to him, back into his embrace, but wrapping him into her own as well, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you."

"And why wouldn't I help out someone I knew?"
She had no argument to that. She was the same. Even if they had never gotten along, her bleeding heart would give her the strength to help. She should really contain that.
At his offering of becoming her pack her eyes widened. He would have secrets - and she was okay with that. Who didn't have secrets? What she fed off more was his actions towards her. He treated her as if she were just any other human, which she greatly appreciated, saw past the condition. It's all she ever wanted.
He asked her to lay back on him, and she complied, nearly purring when his came to rest around her waist. Her eyes closed as the tension melted from her, her glamour of the afternoon melting away with it.
She fought back the well of emotion that Rose up in her at his words, which left her speechless.
"Let this be our den, relax for once, and feel whole again."
And it was just too strong for her. She turned, burying her face into his neck, arm around his waist and her shoulders shook as she attempted to hold back her sobs. But it was fruitless.
With upmost trust, she broke apart in his arms.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
"I'm not asking you to tell me how to live," she said with a giggle. "But of your own personal desires."
She'll leave that there.
"I suppose I should apologize. In that cafe, you responded so warmly, so instantly, I latched onto it without better judgement. It wasn't uncomfortable, I assumed it would have been uncomfortable for you."
She gave him a small smile, almost coy.
"Werewolves have pack instincts, and I have cut ties with my only packmate - my brother - so any sort of affection given, I latch onto... which honestly is very, very dangerous, I know. But luckily I haven't been swayed with kind words by anyone unsavoury yet."
She chuckled, "I wonder if that's just going to cause you to become even more protective over me?"
She tapped her chin with a finger. "I am not averse to helping. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, so to speak. As I said, I'll do anything you ask of me. You are putting me up, free of cost, I am indebted to you, Sir Regulus. I will do whatever bidding you have of me. If you know how to do it, which I suspect you might, I suggest you even connect the fire to yours as a way of easy travel! I suspect you have a plan to get me at your every beck and call - and I am not arguing it."
She nodded, "we were classmates for a while, housemates even. And that goes past Hogwarts' walls. If it's werewolf education you want, I'll be more than happy to provide. Hell, it might even put me closer to my own goals... which I presume you have figured out, perhaps?"
She shifted closer to him, "I can be a friend. Or a confidant. Or a companion. You have no worries there, you won't be pulling my tail for it."
Lord, she had too many dog-puns.
"I won't lie and say I don't find this relationship of ours ironic, because it's ironic as hell. But I'm... I'm glad to be of service. As a friend, whatever you need."
Oh boy, did she just really say that?
"You don't need to pay me for a hug. So consider those freely given as needed. In fact you probably won't have to ask for them, most of the time. Because if you're agreeable, I can be... rather affectionate. But it will ne nice to be reminded of such a thing."
She grins at him.
"I'm not a leglimens, so I'm afraid talking is the only way I'll be able to hear your thoughts."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She nearly lost her grip as she laughed.
"Mm, you are renting me a room indeed. I wonder what could happen next?"
She gave him a wolfish smile at his comment about 'furry arms'. "That's a very daring idea, darling. Being that close to such a beast."
She watched as he conjured a couch, and then the settee, and it really was very appropriate, though kind of out of place in the flat. The bed didn't even look that nice. Comfortable, it was large, purposely so she could fall asleep in any position on it.
Speaking of sleeping, that bed looked really inviting. But perhaps she was so tired because she's had to apparate twice today, and hadn't had time to eat.
She opened her mouth to make a retort of 'Well, I managed well enough before. I'll be able to survive even if you didn't come to visit again'.
"Yeah, I suppose I would be pretty lonely."
Bad weather was nothing. Loneliness was another battle altogether.
"I did say you could ask me for anything, indeed."
She confirmed this, but she was caught up on his speech before. She really couldn't figure out if she was a kept pet project, or he cared for her as a person.
The former would be easier to deal with, the latter... well, she wasn't sure if she was ready to organize those thoughts.
Then he asked if he was making her feel uncomfortable.
All right. Now she was in a tizzy.
"Me? U-Uncomfortable? No! Not at all. A-actually, I was so surprised that you're receptive of my teasing... and continue to be - even after learning... what I am. Most people run screaming."
Turning her into a mistress. Hilarious.
"A werewolf mistress... now there's an intresting concept to consider. Especially for one of the Noble House of Black."
She was teasing again.
Once again, her hand squeezed his.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She laughed when he responded to her tease. "Mm, no peep shows on the first date, darling."
She smiles at him. "Don't feel dumb, it's not every day one gets so personal with a werewolf they're buying them flats."
A brow waggle.
"I wouldn't mind a bit of help with the protections and wards. Thank you."
She takes a look around the room and sighting what she was looking for, a sturdy wooden chair. She moved it into what looked like the alcove that would be the 'bedroom' and pulling out her wand, she transfigured it into a bed.
"That'll be enough. Simple and clean."
Speaking of clean, she would probably do a deep cleaning on the place. It seemed it hasn't been rented in a while.
"Rather see me in person, would you?"
Ah, so somehow, beyond all reasoning, he'd gotten attached and it became even more apparent when he suddenly pulled her in close. If she wasn't mistaken, the tone of his request? Demand? Sounded a tad possessive in nature.
"No worries. I will alert you, I promise. But I am ninety per cent sure no one will go - and excuse the pun - sniffing around here."
She squeezed his hand in assurance.
Nope, don't even dare think about even doing it, no matter how much it's asked for. Don't. Even. Go there.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She waggled a brow at him teasingly. "Me first? You, sir, are lucky I'm not wearing a skirt or I would think you were up to something."
She snickered, climbing up the ladder before him. The flat was quaint - usual finishings for a wizarding flat. A fireplace - that could be connected to the floo. It was one of those economy flats, meaning everything was in one room.
"Er, it's probably best I didn't have a lot of furniture. In case I change here; that would be... something I could end up making a lot of noise on that would concern people."
She would also have to put wards up.
She felt like a kept pet. "I can survive mostly on my own, as I have been. But I won't say no to Hogwarts food on occasion. It should be safe to send owls, as well."
She swept down and kissed his cheek.
"You've set me up for a good while, here. And you'll be able to visit on weekends."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She was told to wait, and she did. No questions. Something told her that if she started asking questions, she wouldn't like the answers.
He had trusted her to apparate them, she would trust him on this, it was only fair, right?
Plus it paid out.
He returned with a grin and she knew he had succeeded. Doors stuck, can apparate in and out. Joy. But then he pulled down the fire ladder and she figured she would be using that more often than the apparation. She made a mental note of it.
"Ah, Regulus. You're a doll." She looks up at the window and then back at him, giving him a smirk.
"I can't thank you enough. If there's anything I can do for you... anything you just let me know. That task of yours you asked of me, aside."

"My own father," she nods slowly but doesn't divulge further.
He would know about shitty parents, probably would understand, but that's doesn't make her want to talk about it any more than she normally would, so she pushes on.
"Just simply someone I know. In the business. It's not too terribly complicated. They just can't rent it to me. I don't know how much you can force the issue."

"Well that would be in your purview."
She rose a brow. He was certainly the gentleman, wasn't he? She liked that. Maybe a tad vanilla, well... maybe not all that vanilla, he was a Black after all.
"I know someone - and I've been owling them, but, I cannot officially be on the paperwork."
She was feeling much more confident now about the apparating, probably because she wasn't in a confined stall of a muggle establishment, so she merely gripped his hand and CRACK they were at the apparation point near Hogsmeade.
"No, it's not. But my brother's an ass - and he sends people out to find me and check on me every so often instead of just talking to me himself, just so he can fuel his anger towards me because he wants to find evidence I'm screwing up my life just because I don't want to hide at the Potter's for the rest of my life.
The ministry is after me because now that I'm eighteen, I don't have the protection of Hogwarts or Dumbledore to stop my father from having them take me in. You know Lyall Lupin don't you? Very publically known werewolf hater and catcher?
As for the Death Eaters - well, me being out on my own is just prime reason for them to try and capture me. Tack on the fact that I'm a werewolf and... well, yeah.
So, no, it's not illegal for me to live, but it's very hard for me to do so."

She grinned again as he caught her hand.
"True. Well, I'm sure you'll get plenty of experience won't you?"
Okay, settle Rose, settle. Playing cards like that will only make the atmosphere tense, wouldn't it?
"That would be pretty believable. It would also explain why it was a temporary thing at best. But honestly, they shouldn't be concerned about our relationship with each other, period. As long as they don't need too much information about myself."

"Fortescue's is calling my name," she said grinning. She'd pass by the apocathary while she was at it as well.
When he left her, she did just that, and now sat at a little table near the ice cream cart. Fortescue has given her a look when she appeared before him in her guise, but it seemed nothing could fool him.
She should really work on glamouring her eyes, as they tended to give her away to anyone, really. But she really hadn't seen the need to do so, as the major outwardly appearances always confused people enough.
When he returned fifteen minutes later, she rose a brow at him.
"Hm, I suppose. You are a bit too jumpy to be seen as a couple. What do you think, then?"

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
At his head tilt, she stood to follow in that direction. They huddled into the tiny little stall and she wished that the toilet led them to Diagon Alley itself. But it didn't.
She just really hated the feeling apparition gave her. It left her unbalanced for several minutes. She considered how to do this in this small confined space. A touch of the hand to hers would do, but she was just a little nervous. She could apparate herself easily. Duo apparition? Wellp. Here goes nothing. She had dittany on her in case anything went awry anyway.
Pursing her lips, she made her move, wrapping her arms about him tightly and steeled herself. Destination, Determination and Deliberation! CRACK!
She was sure that loud noise would freak out several people in the tea shop.
In an instant that honestly felt like forever, they were spat out into an alcove that she normally apparated into when she needed to come here and once she was steady on her feet, she released him, walking a few steps to distance herself from him.
After a moment, she turned back towards him, Lupin smile evident. "So, what's the plan?"
She arched a brow. "Newlyweds looking to purchase a flat?"
