[ After spending all night with Klaus in his and Sirius’s apartment keeping vigil, she and Tony sneak out to grab breakfast for the group. When they come back, Allison also comes back with a bag and, at some point, a soft blanket that’s made of the same material as Apollo’s and Zeus’s bed is placed on Sirius as he sleeps. There’s no note, but he - and Snuffles - might be able to know who it’s from. It’s her way of hopefully helping him be comfortable, so that he can rest easier. ]
[The reply is delayed until night, Sirius's day having been filled with pain and then constant fretting from his loved ones.]
I'm okay. Sorry for the delay, things have been a little mad on my end.
I'm afraid I may not make it for our drink this weekend though, the day has taken an unexpected turn. If it's any consolation, I certainly didn't expect or choose it.
Honestly like shite. I feel like I've been put in a compactor and then unfolded piece by piece. It's getting better though.
And I'll take you up on that rain check.
Be careful out there. Things are getting particularly bad now and I know you're relatively new but it would be dangerous to assume that makes you immune to it all.
Between Remus, Klaus, Radar, Allison, Hermione and Tony my entire day has been filled with people bringing me what I need whether I want them to or not. Thank you though, I do appreciate the offer.
I'm afraid I'm going to end up worrying about everyone after this and you're no exception. We haven't spoken much but you're displaced like I am, and we need to look out for each other now more than ever before, I think.
I think you’re right, we all need to be more careful. I knew the locals weren’t all fond of us, but I didn’t realize it was that bad until the last couple of attacks.
[ Remus knows Allison has left, and it's taken him a good hour or so to wrap his head around what has happened. There have been disappearances, but after seeing Klaus's message on the network, he realizes he's witnessed his first real portal incident.
He also knows that Sirius, at least, is close to Klaus. Which means early morning of the 13th, when Sirius and Klaus rise for their day, there will be an entire breakfast set out. Tea kept warm with a magic burner, pastries, and an assortments of toasted breads and jams. A clear container of hopping chocolate frogs sit amongst them (Klaus had been utterly delighted when he first encountered them). It isn't much, but it's easy. There's even enough for three, just in case Tony has stayed around as well.
There's no note, but there's no question who may or may not have let himself in to set it up. ]
[ On the morning of November 3rd, Remus Lupin, despite his fatigue and pain, slips away from one Sirius Black’s side in bed and sets everything in motion. If Sirius thought his day would be spent tucked away in bed, he’s thought very, very wrong. In fact, Remus first brings him a simple breakfast in bed— pancakes (get it?) with whipped cream and fruit, and a steaming cup of coffee Klaus generously fetched for him.
After breakfast, he will be met by Tony as well as Klaus, who drag the man to the spa (where, at this point, they probably know Tony by name, let’s be real), where they all get to enjoy a relaxing massage followed by facials. Never mind the occasional local fangirl who might catch Eglaf’s prettiest trio in the same place at once.
All the while Remus, Allison, and Lydia get to work on preparing a lunch spread accented with mimosas and lemonade, on the beach. One can’t have wizards and a witch in attendance without a little bit of flair. And when the three finally make it to the beach, Sirius will find he’s met first by Apollo and Zeus, who bound around him, and lead him to a surprise party of friends waiting down on the beach: Remus, Allison, Lydia, Hermione.
It’s nothing over the top, but it’s a nice meal that, at the end, is accented by a vanilla and raspberry cake Remus has made with the help of the girls, a single sparkler atop because a woman never tells her age as Klaus makes a point in saying.
Later that evening, Sirius will find a small, wrapped gift left on his bedside table from Remus. Inside is a picture frame, a cheeky little photo taken at the party, where Sirius is surrounded by all those in attendance, laughing at something being said. (Or the fact that Klaus has definitely tried to put a birthday tiara atop Sirius’s head). With it, a small, hand-written note:
To the moon and back. Happy Birthday. -R ]

And it’s fine, no problem. Rain check. I have a lot of grading to do, anyway, so we’ll find another day that works better.
How are you doing?
no subject
And I'll take you up on that rain check.
Be careful out there. Things are getting particularly bad now and I know you're relatively new but it would be dangerous to assume that makes you immune to it all.
no subject
No, I definitely don’t think that I’m immune. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be careful. You just take care of yourself.
