Remus watched as V looked over the symbols he had drawn on the chalk board. He sipped his water and noted the time that went by. He almost told her to give up, that she most likely didn’t remember, but Remus knew from experience that sometimes it took a while to go through your memories. After about five minutes, V’s face began to show a sense of familiarity, though with what Remus wasn’t sure of. She unfolded her arms from the serious stance that she had been holding and pointed at one specific symbol, touching the board. Remus noted that her eyes were wide and his probably mimicked her own as she had pointed to the symbol that had been carved onto his chest.
Her mention of only seeing it once made Remus wonder if it would be a dead end, though V then began to pull her hair away from her neck. The symbol was there on her neck, show by scar tissue that could only be formed from burnt flesh. She had been branded. The smirk on her lips though made Remus wonder even more about her past, though some was revealed to him by her next statement.
“Nor should you be.” He responded to her statement of being nobody’s property. His look sobered up as he remembered the connection between her brand and his scar. Without a word, he began unbuttoning his shirt, not aware of the completely random and odd act it would seem like. He pulled out the tucked in ends of the shirt and finished unbuttoning it. Pulling apart the shirt, he revealed his chest and abdomen, both toned well beyond what they should have been considering his activity level and a gruesome looking scar that resembled the brand on V’s neck to a T. His arms were outstretched some, the scars on his wrists visible as well. “I think my vision just got a whole lot more interesting.” He stated, something similar to excitement crossing over his usually dull features. ((haha every time you say bam, you remind me of futurama))

V had pulled her hair to the side and over her shoulder, turning towards Remus when he said that she shouldn't be anyone's property. She didn't like the brand one bit, it was the reason why she always kept her hair down when in her human form. She didn't like people seeing it, definitely hated if anybody tried touching it, kind of like the scars littering her body but those are different. One hand remained on the back of her neck, rubbing the brand lightly while she looked to the man with an odd look when he began to unbutton his shirt. Her lips parted, about to ask what he was doing but instead she kept her mouth closed and waited to see what he would do, she was sure he wasn't stripping down for her.
In a matter of moments she realized why he had started taking his shirt off, on his finely toned body was a scar shaped just like the one on her neck. Her fingers slowly ran over the bumps, going over the shape while her eyes did the same to the scar on Remus's chest. Besides hers being smooth and his rough, they were the same. She then realized that she had seen it one other time, back in the forest when the sabre-lion attacked. She could faintly remember seeing his scar right after the beast had attacked him. "What does it mean? Where did you see the symbols? Did you see the motherfuckers face!" She suddenly asked, walking over to him and grabbing his shoulders and giving a small shake. "What happened in your vision? How did it get more interesting?"
V wanted to know, HAD to know what he saw in the vision and what the symbols could mean. She had a feeling though that whoever branded her could have gave Remus that scar also. They were connected somehow and she wanted to know why. What was going on?!

Her reaction to him revealing his scar was near what he had predicted would happen. He figured that she would be curious and want to know what had happened in his vision. What he didn’t expect was her to get up so close to him, grab his shoulders and shake lightly. He wasn’t all that used to being this close to anyone, especially not a female when his shirt was half off. It was a little bit of an odd experience for him. “I did no see his face, only part of his right hand with a ring containing a large purple gem, to which these marks were engraved.” He explained that first, motioning towards the other symbols. He figured that her biggest reaction had been towards the man that had branded her so then he would answer her question on that male first. “As for what happened in my image, that is where things started getting strange. A cloaked man, presumably the one that branded you, was in one of the classrooms at the university. A female student named Sarah, the one that I mentioned that I helped out earlier, met him there. She passed off a USB drive and it seemed as though she was working for him. I didn’t get to see anything past that, though.” He gave a brief summary, hitting the highlighted points instead of going into detail as one would with a story. “This vision has been made more intriguing by the fact that this man had the same symbol on his ring that I have on my chest; even more so because you were branded with this symbol. You claim he gave it to you but that is where I am confused. I did this to myself-“ He placed a hand on his chest, the feeling of the scar brushing up against his palm and finger tips. “I was told it was self-inflicted, in fact there were witnesses even. So I do not think that he could have done this to me. My main questions then is how did this symbol get into my mind in the first place and how are we connected because of it?” He looked rather serious while thinking and speaking aloud, his tone rather formal as if he were giving a lecture of some kind. In reality, that was just how Remus was when explaining anything to anyone.

The moment V heard that Remus didn't see the guy's face she let go of his shoulders and took a step back, yes she was disappointed but she still listened to what he had to say. A large purple ring with the symbols that were on the chalkboard. Her arms crossed with one up and that hand on his chin as she quickly tried to think of if she ever saw the purple ring that day she was branded but couldn't remember seeing it, just a lot of people around and holding her down as she struggled. She was kind of turned away but soon turned back to him when he mentioned the female from his work and how she seemed to be working with the man and passing off a USB drive.
She didn't really understand that part, how they were connected when the cloaked man was the one to brand her and that Remus inflicted the wound that scarred over into the same symbol on his chest. Maybe something happened, like he was traumatized or something. ”I don't know how we're connected, or how the image got into your head. What I do know is that we need to get that girl and squeeze some information out of her..." Her mismatched eyes looked off to the side a moment, hand going up and covering her mouth in thought with her eyes going to the floor then looking back to Remus. "Is she human?"
The way she asked the question, the smirk and look in her eyes, it gave away that she wanted to do something to the female called Sarah. She was curious about if she was human because if she wasn't then she would be able to beat some sense into her if she chose not to talk, V had no problem with doing that.

Getting the girl and speaking with her would be a good idea, though by the sound of it, V had a little more in mind thank just talking with her. Her question, asking him if she was human, he didn’t quite have an answer for it. It was an unusual feeling for Remus, to not know something so simple. He liked to find out though, despite the fact that he sometimes wished for a simpler mind, he knew that if he got the chance to become normal; he would decline. It just seemed so strange to think like a normal person. He had tried to have one of his coworkers explain how they thought and it was just so….so simple that it bothered Remus. No, no matter how much he complained about his mental capacity, there was no way he would down grade it. Shaking his head some, Remus answered V. “I have no idea. She hasn’t presented any signs of being anything but human, as far as I can tell.” He scratched the back of his head and then let his hand flap back down to his side. “I think it would be a good idea if we could get some information from her though.” He trailed off a little bit, a thoughtful look on his face. His brow furrowed as an idea came to him, one he hoped he wouldn’t regret thinking acting on. “You know, I am not very good at the whole interacting with others. Maybe you could come with me to work tomorrow? You could be my assistant until we get an opportunity or whatnot.” He offered her, a somewhat conflicted look on his face. He didn’t work well with others yet here he was asking for V’s help.
((Its a craptastic post! Sorry))

If it wasn't for the fact that Remus saw those symbols on the cloaked man's ring that V was branded with, she wouldn't even care about any of this. If he had said that the vision had the girl transer the flash drive to a mysterious cloaked man then she would just shrug her shoulders and maybe help him out if he needed it but other than that she wouldn't really care. But since they symbols connected her to his vision, to the man and Remus somehow, she wanted to know what was going and what it had in store for their futures.
True, she wanted to do more than just talk to the girl. Well, if she chose not to say anything. If the girl wasn't willing to give them the information they sought then V would beat it out of her, she had no problem with that. Some people normally would be wary with V just being around them or in their line of sight, if the girl wasn't disturbed at all by the silver haired woman then she would just have to further intimidate her and rough her up a bit, and if that still didn't work then she would have to shift into her lycan state in which Remus would have to secure both her an Sarah. That would be the last resort though seeing as V didn't have much control of herself in that form, a little but not much.
When Remus answered her question about the girl possibly not being human, she was a bit disappointed to hear that he didn't know because she hasn't shown any signs of being something else. She rested her chin in her hand and looked to the floor in thought, there were many different things in this world, she wouldn't be surprised if the girl was some creature that was able to blend in well with the humans. She was though with this girl because she seems to be a young one since Remus is helping her. Then again, depending on what race, some can stay the same age for years. Or, she could be something but nobody has seen anything because it happens away from people or just doesn't happen during the day... She will have to wait and see what happens.
When he spoke up her hand fell to her and her mismatched eyes locked onto him, waiting to hear what he had to say about this. His question kind of her surprised her, V's eyes got slightly big in a bit of shock. It wasn't super shocking but it was an odd request, she has heard many things in her life but nobody ever asked if she wanted to go with them somewhere. People either ordered her to do something and threatened to harm her in some way or she just walked away, knowing they wouldn't be able to do anything to make her agree to do what ever it was.
V knew that he wasn't sure about the idea, seeing the conflict on his face. She wasn't surprised, she wasn't really the type of person you would want to take in public, especially a university. If somebody said something she didn't like then she owuld get in their face, sometimes rouching them up a bit so they knew their place and knew not to fuck with her. She didn't have time for their childish games. "If it gets our little mission done then I will do so. Just keep in mind..." She said, crossing her arms and looking away. "I won't hesitate to make a move if she tries pulling anything slick." Meaning if the girl tried running or striking either of them, V won't hesitate in messing her up... or touching him in anyway V thought was inappropriate.
Clearing her throat, V unfolded her arms and cracked her knuckles. "I'm ready to go whenever you are." It's not like she had anything to do or anywhere to go, she couldn't change either seeing as the only clothing she had she was wearing at the moment. What they did now depended on what Remus wanted or needed to do. V would follow him.

By V’s reaction, Remus didn’t figure that she was expecting his offer, or rather his request. It was an odd, one though he wasn’t quite sure why she would be so surprised. Maybe she didn’t get asked to go with people to other places often. He didn’t know very much, though he did recall her mentioning that other people tended to stay away from her. So far, Remus didn’t mind the she-wolf. She was an interesting character it seemed, with a past that he assumed was rather dark. He wasn’t one to pry into others’ lives and he expected much the same from anybody else; however he knew that many people were too curious for that common courtesy. He waited for her response and quirked an eyebrow when she did answer. It was an interesting way to answer, agreeing yet threatening to misbehave if the Sarah tried anything. It wasn’t that Remus minded so much as he found it almost humorous in the way that she crossed her arms and looked away. The slightest curve of his lips could be seen; something similar to an amused smirk. When she cracked her knuckles, Remus looked at her hands. The noise was almost a bit irritating, but he did it himself and so he wouldn’t say anything about it. He looked her up and down as she said that she was ready to go and frowned some, though he nodded his head as if agreeing with V. “We can leave, but I think that we should pick you up some better clothing. If you are going to be my assistant, than my co-workers with be expecting you to be in business casual.” He shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t bother him any. He turned around as if to go upstairs but stopped himself, spinning his body back towards V. “Do you know how to ride a bicycle.” He questioned, a very serious expression on his features.
((Love Love what you came up with for Sarah! And yea I am sorry if my posts are crappy, my stress from school has seemed to make my posts not as good as usual))

An eyebrow raised as he watched Remus, that look he gave her. V looked down at her attire, business casual. She thought this outfit was just fine, then again, they were talking about going to his work so she guessed that it was needed. He was right, if she was going to his work then she needed to dress more appropriately. She sighed slightly and gave a shrug of her shoulders. "I guess your right." She was about to sit down on the couch when he was heading towards the stairs but before her butt could touch it he stopped and turned around to ask if she could ride a bicycle.
A bicycle, the thing he rode while heading here. She has seen them around before but actually rode one... No. V's hands planted onto her hips as she looked at Remus, seeing the serious look on his face her eyebrows furrowed. "Can't I just travel there as a wolf? Find a place nearby and change back with nobody noticing?" She asked him, ignoring his question. She figured he wold catch on that she didn't know how to ride one.
(( That's alright Imp, I understand. ^_^ Mine are also crappy, well this one XD, sorry! ))

Her reaction towards Remus’s bicycle question was a classic psychological maneuver. She hadn’t told him that she couldn’t, but by changing the topic to a different means of travel, she had inadvertently told him that she couldn’t. Or, Remus was just over thinking everything as he tended to do. He nodded his head, his face looking as thoughtful as ever. “I suppose that would work. I am unsure of where you could shift and cloth yourself where nobody could see you, though I believe you would be able to find something.” He shrugged his shoulders and turned around, this time actually heading for the stairs. “That just means that I won’t have to get out my old bicycle.” He complied with what V had obviously wanted to do, though the look on Remus’s features had shown some uncertainty with the plan. That, and he had almost sounded disappointed about not being able to get out his old bike. He almost thought it would be fun to ride to work with someone, though the thought of companionship was a bit odd for him.
((So are we having them do this tonight (their time) or tomorrow and this post is so embarrassing sorry))

Yeah, she was trying to change the topic because she didn't know how to ride a bike. V never learned how to and never really wanted to, she had no reason to seeing as she could just shift to her wolf form and get to places faster. She did like that he didn't say anthing about it and just accepted what she said, giving a shrug of her shoulders about how he was unsure about where she could shift. She'd find a place, usually could. She had a look of slight confusion though, if she was correct, he sounded a bit disappointed but she didn't understand why.
With a sigh she lifted both hands to her face and rubbed, going from her nose and across her eyes before plopping herself down onto the couch with her head back. She wasn't sure what Remus had to do upstairs but she guessed that they would leave to get business casual clothing for when they went to the university when he came back. They wouldn't go today since that Sarah girl wasn't wearing the same clothing like in his vision, hopefully she was tomorrow when they went and figure out what the hell is going on.
With head back she closed her eyes, bangs falling to the side as she waited for Remus. She hoped they found out what was going on with this flash drive and cloaked guy and how her and Remus were connected. She was interested in his scar though, how did that symbol get into his head and why did he carve it onto himself? Why was she branded and didn't do what he did?

Remus made his way up the stairs, walking straight to hi room. He pulled open his sock drawer and found an envelope with cash stuffed into it. The sock drawer was probably the first place thieves would look but it was only a backup stash for when he didn’t want to go to the bank. He would rather not use credit card for this purchase since it wasn’t something he absolutely needed. He liked to save it for other purposes. He grabbed out a nice sum of money and placed it in a worn brown leather wallet that he stuffed back into his pocket. Heading back down the stairs, he grabbed a milk cart that was next to his door. He couldn’t remember why he had put that there before. It belonged in the garage. None the less he would need it to make carrying bags back to the house easier. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, Remus turned towards V. “We can go get those cloths now if you would like. The shops don’t close till ten or so.”He looked like he didn’t really care all too much, but he also looked strange holding a red milk carton by his side.

V remained like that till Remus back back down, by now there was nothing really on her mind. Just kind of went blank on her, tended to happen every now and then. She opened her eyes and looked over to Remus from the corner of them before giving a nod of her head and pushing herself off the couch. "Alright, are they within walking distance?" She asked him as she walked out of the living room and stopped in front of Remus. "What's with the crate?" She asked, motioning to the red crate in his hand.
(( Merp, short/crappy/boring post. XD ))

Of course they were within walking distance, he had completely forgotten. He didn't say that though, but just nodded his head. The crate needed to go in the garage anyways, there was no real need for it up in his bedroom. "Yea, they are about a five minute walk down the road." He commented and headed towards the garage, expecting her to follow without him actually saying anything. "The crate goes onto the back of my bike for when I have to carrying multiple items, such as when I am going grocery shopping." He explained over his shoulder, opening the garage door and setting it down next to his bike. He shut the door and looked it, turning around almost running into V. He dodged her slightly, looking a bit perturbed to be, once again that close to her. He wasn't used to being close to anyone, nevertheless a female. Heading towards the front door, he opened it and waited for V to follow him. The weather was pleasant enough for walking. Shutting and locking the door behind him, he turned around, noticing that his sleeves were still up around his elbows. People didn't look too kindly on him when they saw his scars. While walking towards the sidewalk, he rolled down his sleeves, buttoning them at his wrists.
((I really think it would be great if this shopping experience is as awkward as possible for Remus *Evil grin*))

A five minute walk, that wasn't too bad. V followed Remus when he headed for the garage and made a humming-like sound kind of like how some people say oooh when they realize something. She stood there while he opened the garage door and set the crate down by his bike. Not really thinking about where she was standing, Remus had turned around and nearly ran right into her. He dodged her slightly, but still managed to bump her right in the boob but she didn't say anything and didn't think anything of it. She noticed a look on him, he didn't seem to like being close to her. Was he just like that with most people or was it just her?
She didn't want to think about it, didn't really care. Why should she trouble herself with something like that? Seeing him going to the front door V quickly caught up, following him outside where the weather was pleasant. It was nice, not too chilly and not too warm, when it came to weather like this she usually would lay out in the sun and take a nap.
V followed Remus over to the sidewalk, watching him roll down his sleeves, probably forgot abut them. She was sure that people didn't like when they were out like that, she knew that they felt uncomfortable. "Will you be getting anything? Or will this little trip just be for me?" She asked, turning her head to look at him with mismatched eyes. "You do realize your gonna have to pick them out, right? I know nothing about what clothing is considered business or casual. I just wear what I find."

Remus looked up at V after he had rolled down his sleeves. She had asked him a question that he wasn’t too sure of. He shrugged his shoulders some in response. “Maybe. If I see something that I like.” It was a simple response. He didn’t have anything he needed per say, though he probably could use some socks now that he thought about it. The shop he was going to be taking V to was mainly for women with a few things for men off in a corner. He liked to think that they put it there to keep the boyfriends and husbands appeased while their female companions shopped to their hearts content, but what did he know. He started walking in his long striding manner when V mentioned some information that was a bit unsettling to him. He should have known better. He really should have guessed that she had no idea what he had meant. His lips were pursed in a frown when he turned to look at her. “Oh, um yea.” He said, looking unsure. He wasn’t the best for fashion, least of all female fashion. Maybe one of the sales clerks could help…or he could just wing it. His face relaxed some and he nodded his head, looked away from V. “I can do that.” It almost sounded like he was giving himself a pep talk. The walk was rather fast and they were off of his street within a minute. The traffic was rather low this time of the day and so it was no problem to cross the streets. Soon enough they were in a miniature shopping plaza with a few clothing shops, an electronics store, a bank, and some kind of grocery store. Remus looked towards V and pointed towards the shop he was going to take her, the sign reading ‘Blush Boutique.’ “Is that place okay?” He questioned, not wanting to take her somewhere she wouldn’t want to go.
