[on the first floor, Remus has finally decided to avail himself of the outdoor baths; he's been experimenting with his ring quite a bit, so that may contribute to his current relaxation

he's wearing nothing but swim shorts, and his pale skin is strewn with scars, some fairly recent, some over a decade old; most appear to be claw and bite marks

his eyes are closed as he leans back, all but his head submerged in the water]

[his eyes narrow, the blush fading a bit] Do you – think it's helping, besides that?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, we'll have to see. I'd only just arrived before I got pulled here, but I doubt it. The uniform I have to wear is humiliating, and Arkham is so rude!

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[frowns] You'd get used to the uniforms, I think, but – are you sure he meant to be?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

He refused to call me by my name! And the uniform is...Well, it looks like something you would use when you were playing with bondage, to be honest!

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[and now he's scowling] …And this place is legitimate? Official?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I don't even know. I just got taken there. Ne, but it's not so bad because Eddie and Dr. Crane are there too. They're nice, at least.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Crane - the man with the library. [faint smile] That's something, at least. [shakes his head] I still don't like the sound of it, though.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Dr. Crane is very nice. I like him.

{She tilts her head slightly} Ah, but you know, Arkham can come here too. You can talk to him if you want.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Does he? Maybe you could introduce us. [there's a hint of mischief in the curve of his lips]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd love to, if you'd like to meet him.

{Smiles as she sets her head on his shoulder}

Ne, we could even go find him after we were done! It wouldn't be hard.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Good. [firm nod] If you want to stay, you should be treated well.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, I think as long as I can come to the Plane, it won't be so bad. It won't be that lonely if I can just come here whenever I want.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

True. But...your life shouldn't be something you need to escape from.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She just kind of laughs}

It shouldn't be, but it always has been.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

...We ought to change that, then.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Her smile softens, and she sighs}

It's just very tiring.
