What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-

[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]

Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?

Wait, no, this is my bloody-

[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]

What? [ james doesn't waste any time in stepping in, breaking that personal space gap with his hands on remus' upper arms. he looks a mess and james...

well, he knows why, now. but he wants to help. ]

What'd you mean gone? Like into the ship? She get lost?

No, she's just-- this ship, it bloody well swallows up people, it sends them home or it k-- kills them-- god, I don't know, she's just-- she's gone, and I just told her I loved her, that I'd never-- never not love her--

Remus, slow down.

[ james squeezes remus' arms and slowly walks him back to the bed to sit down. ]

Start over. When did you find out she was gone? [ because the 'i love you comment' can be talked about later. ]

Twenty-- twenty minutes ago, I called her, and then I went to her room, and I checked security, I checked the gardens, but her, her signal is gone, her communicator won't answer--

[He's shaking, his arms and hands trembling badly as he tries to explain.]

[ he stops a few steps from the bed because he needs to listen, to hear everything remus has to say just to make sure. his heart drops when he realizes what that means, and as much as he wants to lie and tell him they'll find her, she's still got to be here, he doesn't know if he can.

instead, he feels remus' arms shake, sees his hands do the same, and james just lets go of him to wrap his arms around his shoulders and pull him in for a tight embrace. ]

We'll figure this out. We will.

There's nothing to figure out. She's gone.

[He allows himself to be pulled into an embrace, but shakes his head quite firmly.]

And I'll never see her again. And that's that.

That's not-

[ and james will just stubbornly keep hugging him. ]

Bloody hell Remus, you don't know that.

You know it is! People disappear all the time, and you can't contact them anymore, and that's it! It doesn't matter!

But that's not it! People come back just as often. They come back and they can remember being gone - I've heard stories. I've talked to people who have. It's possible.

But unlikely, and you know it.

[With a sigh he pulls away.]

I'm not . . . I want to just forget it.
