[Remus looks pale and has awfully dark circles under his eyes, as per usual, and there's a fresh pink scar along the bridge of his nose-- but that can hardly be seen, because right now Remus is too busy flailing his hands around everywhere. He's in the media library, tucked between two stacks, far too many datapads surrounding him.]

Have you all seen this? Have you all seen this? Look at it! Oh, Merlin, I've never seen such literature-- and it's so extensive! I can't even choose, there's far too many-- Sirius Black, you are in trouble when I see you if you knew about this and kept it from me--

[He pushes his fingers through his hair. It ends up sticking up, but that's all right; he's too busy glancing down and scrabbling through the pile of datapads surrounding him.]

Like-- oh, look at this, it's this one story of a-- well, I can't hardly understand it, it's not of a human life, but I think it's a royal hierarchy on this one planet-- and oh, oh, there was one I found where it was entirely about time travel, and going to the future of a planet, and how he dealt with being a thousand years in the future-- oh, they're all so wonderful, I only wish I had more time--

[He glances up at the camera, manic and delighted-- but, because he's Remus, he bites his lip and tries to calm down a little.]

I can't understand why I'm the only person in here. There has to be at least one other person on this ship who'll be pleased by this public service announcement.

Disgustingly loveable and surrounded by space-books.

I guess there are worse things you could post with.

[ this is your pack, derek hale. this is your pack. ]

How are you feeling?

[ this whole thing makes him laugh. so that's what he does, and it's a rare thing. ]

I thought I was the only one fond of reading.

you're not the only one in here
well
okay you're probably not the only one in here

which library is it? because there's more than one

I-- what?

[He blinks at her, thrown off by lovable.]

Um. I-- ah, yes, certainly. I mean, with all the, ah, posts about death and airlocks and such, I rather figured it was time for something nice.

Oh, fine. I'm all right. Just a bit sore, you know. Thank you for asking.

[His smile goes a little smaller.]

And thank you for helping me.

[ oh my god, you nerd. Raven's not going on video because she looks a little hellish, but she can't not call him out on his nerdery. she's laughing before she can even say anything. ]

I always figured nerds had this kind of nerd-sense that helped them find the library in any establishment.

[He beams at Frodo, utterly pleased by that.]

Oh, heavens no. I think books might be the best things in the world-- although chocolate comes in a close second.

You're pack. It's how this works.

[ awkward stop making him talk about feelings remus. ]

Is it always like that?

There's more than one? And is that a hint I can find a companion if I look hard enough? I'm sorry if I interrupted your reading with my post.

I've always read them ever since my younger days.
[ he just smiles back, and for a minute he doesn't feel all his losses so keenly, only the wonder of books. ]

Since I was a lad I always dreamed of going on adventures like my Uncle. He has many books in his home as I recall reading more than half of them!

Liking books, Raven, is not the same as being a nerd. And we don't have a sense, incidentally, we usually simply end up wandering and avoiding people who want to sign us up for athletic events until we find it.

I gather yours isn't, then.

[He nods.]

It's been like that for as long as I can remember. Sirius usually helps keep me under control, but . . . well. It's not easy for a dog sometimes.

[He chuckles.]

I don't know if I'd be good on an adventure-- but I've certainly read my share of them.

You do realize you got so excited that you left at least four sentences unfinished. Not that this is actually a complaint.

[ for a minute he doesn't know what to say to that, the excited whirl of books stops spinning for a minute at the words. he remembers that his isn't exactly like a story, at least, they are in the parts that are not worth reading, as he conveyed to sam. yet he says nothing of this, instead a bit quieter : ]

Are you the only one in there now?

[ it might be safer that way ]

Wow. Nerdgasm over there.

[Not so alone after all, maybe, although Jesse's several rows down by the chemistry reference datapads. He seems to have finished browsing, however, because he has several tucked under his arm. And that's plenty for him. Now he's shuffling over to see what has Remus so worked up.]

[He rubs at the back of his neck, embarrassed but pleased.]

Well, everyone has their hobbies. I'm certain you get just as excited over yours.

I don't think anyone can actually be as pleased as you look right now over it.

[ ...lydia, like your own kind of glee about books and finally actually settling down in a media library isn't a reason you're over communicating over text right now. ]

[WOW what a brilliant shade of red Remus has gone. He scrambles to his feet, gathering datapads in his arms.]

Ah-- not quite. Just, er, rather pleased by my finds. Um. Hi. Sorry. Did I interrupt?

I think so, yes. Although really, it's quite large, I shouldn't say something like that. Have you seen it yet?

Well, apparently so! Really, though, I don't understand why more people aren't as excited.

Hey, [ her hands raise ] judgement free zone right here.

Anyway, as long as you don't take the whole library off to your room to go read, I don't think you'll have a revolt on your hands. Not right away anyhow.

[He smiles.]

I think the only reason I'm not going to is because I don't have the strength.

I haven't been there in some time. I think you've reminded me how much I enjoyed it.

[ still very politely but his amusement is now pretty obvious. ]
