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. ]

figured it would be best if there were more of us
[Keeping watch, sort of, more keeping company than anything else. It's like when they'd sneak themselves into the hospital wing to see Remus. No more than two at a time at his bedside, so they'd take turns hiding under the bed and crawling out when Madam Pomfrey retreated, slagging her off with good-natured viciousness.
Only two, right now. James better not bring Peter along, not now, not to this. Sirius isn't quite ready for that.]
bring chocolate & more liquor & yourself. easy list.

more the merrier, right?
[ keep watch, keep his mind off things, or just let him know he's not alone. james doesn't like the fact he left in the first place at all, but what's done is done and he'll be back in a matter of moments.
but james knows where to push and where to not, and bringing peter won't help anyone. especially remus, or peter, who are each dealing with their own problems without the addition of each other's. ]
I'll do what I can with the chocolate, but pretty sure Lily gave him all of her's
liquor and myself are already on their way. our way.

its a pity this ship doesnt provide for basic human needs like chocolate liquor
[It's a weak and stupid little joke, but maybe it will help to bridge the awkward gap that's going to come when James arrives and they have to face each other and apologise without actually apologising. Sirius is a master of such things, but this time feels a little different.
It'll be all right, though. James is coming here, and that's a start.]
thanks mate
see you in a bit
text - do we wanna handwave, log or action it? o:
but I'll see what I can do, no promise of course, but I'll see
[ it gets a little smile, though fleeting and weak, but it's something. james is expecting the awkward, of course, but he's hoping that their similar goal will make it alright. remus always did come first.
but he is coming. and whatever happens, he's got faith it'll work out. ]
