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. ]

Comments

[heorot]

[ and that pause right there is giving lily plenty of time to let him know this is a joke. because that's obviously what it is. ]

You serious?

voice;

[prefectly]

I'm worried. It's not as if you've been keeping me informed.

[ duh, Potter ]

Has anything happened? Have you sorted things with Sirius, at least? Peter?

voice;

[heorot]

Do you want to be informed?

[ he doesn't mean to sound snippy with that, lily. he's just kind of tired. ]

No. [ sure, sirius has decided not to kill peter and give james some time to figure out another way, but that's not as if it makes anything easier for him. ] Peter's- fine. He's fine. He'll be fine, at least. [ alive. ] Just a lot to take in from someone he doesn't even know.

[prefectly]

Of course I do, that is exactly what I was trying to-

[ but then he says no to things being fixed with Sirius and that's honestly a surprise, after how long it's been. hn. ]

I haven't decided if talking to Peter myself would make things better or worse, just yet. Just to let him know I'm not upset with him, I suppose. [ she pauses, chews her lip ] It's driving me a tiny bit mad, not knowing how to help.

[heorot]

[ there's a tiny twitch of a muscle in his jaw, but thankfully this is audio only so she doesn't have to see it. ]

I'd talk to him. [ well of course you would, james. it's you. ] He thinks we all hate him for something he hasn't even done. Doesn't want to do. You don't have to say much- just that you're not mad.

[ like sirius. ]

[prefectly]

Right, of course. I can do that. [ another pause, like she wants to be saying more, but- ] I suppose I should get right to it, then. I'll, erm. I will let you know how it goes.

[heorot]

He's just Peter, you know. You don't have to-

[ james sighs, because this is all kinds of messed up. he doesn't blame her for being a little jumpy about the whole ordeal, but after seeing peter... ]

You don't have to...he's probably going to be too nervous to talk to you.
