Order Only: Private message to Padfoot : comments [Remus Lupin]

Sorry I wasn't around to help.

What sorts of answers did you get?

No, you needed your rest, too, and it was good to have something to do (that didn't involve hopping about the country).

The answers came in a fascinating range.

There was the one who started to weep as she tallied up the lives she'd ended. The one who tried to tell me all sorts of 'secrets' like Wakefield Prison or things about the Department of Mysteries - things we already know. The person who expected us to rescue nearly every relative regardless of how tenuously connected.

Mostly it was the ones who'd lost count that bothered me the most. I'm pleased to say I think it bothered them a bit, too.

Oh, and I asked (though it wasn't on Rachel's list) just what they would do, if our positions were reversed? What sort of mercy would they have meted to us if we were the ones asking for it. Most of them didn't even know what to say.

Lost count.

~~I wonder if any of ours~~

Yeah.

I know.

I - Was I snappish with Rachel, earlier? I should apologise tomorrow, perhaps.

No, I don't think you were. And I don't think you need to apologise.

I should probably go find Alice or Rachel, if they're still awake, and get some useful thing to pore over while I burn the midnight oil. I'm sure there's plenty. Maps of resources or files from the Ministry or who knows what.

Are you going to be up for a while yet?

A while. I'm on my second wind, I think.

Though I could use a sandwich or something. Maybe some tea.

Oh, that reminds me, we should make sure Cedric gets hold of Aleks. I'm sure he'd be able to get us crates of the stuff as soon as we're able to import again. If that doesn't win us the 'hearts and minds' campaign I don't know what will!

Good thought on the tea!

I need something to eat, too. Whether it's properly lunch or a midnight snack. Meet me? It feels like six months since we've been able to sit down together, awake. Longer.
