Robin: -in his office-
Remus *knocks on Felicity's door, picking her up for the appointment*
Felicity: *pretty much didn't care and just wore jeans and a hoodie and opens the door to her apartment, exits, locks door* Lead the way.
Robin: -puts on a pot of hot water-
Remus *actually dressed semi-formally, sighs when he sees her apathy* Alright, let's go. *leads the way*
Felicity: *follows a good couple of steps behind him with her arms crossed*
Robin: -still at his office?-
Remus *knocks on the door of of Robin's office*
Felicity: *waits*
Robin: -answers the door and steps to let hem in- "Good afternoon, Remus, Miss Weingarten." -smiles- "Would you like something to drink?
Remus: Afternoon, Robin. Yes, tea sounds good if you have it.
Felicity: Whiskey.
Robin: "I much prefer sobriety in these meetings, and those that are under the age of 21." -smiles and nods- "But I do have tea, any in particular?" -gestures them to the couches-
Remus *rolls his eyes at Felicity's remark. This was going to be a long day. He goes over to the couches and takes a seat* English black, or anything really.
Felicity: *takes a seat next to Remus because she still feels comfortable around him despite all that happening*
Robin: -uses the already hot water to make tea. takes a bottle of water to put in front of Felicity- "My name's Robin Carrol, though I'm not too perticular on what you'd like to call me" -smiles at Felicity-
Remus: Good to see you again, Robin. And I'm sure you have heard about Felicity too...
Felicity: And you don't want to know what I'd prefer calling you.
Robin: "Pleased to meet you all the same." -nods- "Always a gift to see you." -sets tea in front of
Remus- "How does this, fairly cold, day find both of you?"
Remus *aside to Felicity* Will you please? *to Robin* Sorry. *takes the tea* Thank you. Doing well enough, all things considered. And yourself?
Felicity: Cold as a corpse.
Robin: -sits in a chair- "It's no problem, she can speak as she wants." -smiles- "It's been getting a bit busy for you I imagine. I've been doing fairly well, thank you for asking."
Remus: Very busy. So we came on Felicity's behalf. I'm worried about her means of coping with what's been going on.
Felicity: He thinks I need help, hence why we came to see you. That and he probably needs help with dealing with me.
Robin: -nods a bit- "What do you think you're doing that causes the other to worry about you?"
Remus: Unfortunately, she pretty much hit the nail on the head there.
Felicity: *glances at Remus* I don't know, probably because I've been thinking crazy
Robin: "I don't imagine he'd worry about you thinking crazy in a good way, what kinds of thoughts?"
Remus: She's been acting desperate ever since Simons went missing. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She was normal beforehand, even happy.
Felicity: I offered Remus up as bait to Saturn. Those kinds of.thoughts. *actually does feel bad about that*
Robin: "When a close friend goes missing it can cause a bit of inner turmoil. Especially considering the already high tension around camp."
Remus *nods* Tell me about it. I just think there has to be a better way for her to handle this.
Felicity: You could always let me storm Mt. Othrys and kidnap the stupid antisocial forge monkey so that he can deal with my anger and not Mr. teddy bears and hugs *nods at Robin* and you, the Robocop
Robin: -smiles- "Hugs are always good. Sometimes teddy bears help." -nods- "There are two things you should think about in that situation. Should you go there, will he come back? Will he kill you? If he does how will that affect the people around you?" -nods towards Remus.-
Remus: Thank you. I've been trying to get her to look at the bigger picture too, but she doesn't listen.
Felicity: Doesn't matter too much as long as I can hit him upside the head with a 2x4. He's hurt Lyn beyond belief. He always thought no one cared and that he was alone but he wasn't. He had Lyn, he had me. I need him.... He's the first one I remembered.
Robin: "It's her decision, ultimately if she'd like she can disappear from this office and find him." -speaking to Remus but turns his attention back to felicity.- "However, you'd be hurting the people around you the same way if not worse than what Edmund hurt you, or Lyn."
Remus *is silent at Felicity's words, then gawks at Robin* You support her!?
Felicity: *silent and studies the floor because afraid to look at Remus, but hand reaches for his* But I'll come back.
Robin: "I'm not saying it's the best option, I'm not saying it's a good option. But she could leave, and you nor I can stop her." -looks at felicity- "There's a very good possibility you won't. You can very well die. Or a number of other things that could keep you from returning."
Remus *pulls his hand away and picks up his tea instead* He's right. On all accounts.
Felicity: *moves hand and crosses arms over chest* He's my best friend....
Robin: -nods- "If you're prepared for the worst. The absolute worst thing you can imagine, and think it's worth a shot, then it may be. What do you think Remus?"
Remus *sighs* I can't stop her. She can shadow travel out of here whenever she likes and there's nothing I can do about it.
Felicity: *looks over at Remus* I know, but I haven't. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
Robin: "I said we can't make her stay, but you can do something." -looks at Felicity- "Why haven’t you gone?"
Remus: Yes... it does. I just wonder how long it will last. *falls silent at Robin's question and looks to Felicity*
Felicity: Because.... *looks away from Remus* Of reasons.
Robin: "Everyone has reasons to do what they do. Remus, why are you worried about Felicity leaving?"
Remus: *looks at his tea and mutters* Because I love her. I don't want anything to happen to her. I couldn't imagine going on without her.
Felicity: *feels like she's been impaled, stays silent*
Robin: -smiles softly- "How is the time you spend together? What do you do?"
Remus: Hang out, get a bite to eat, that sort of thing. Nothing special. *though it was special to him*
Felicity: It is special though... It gets him away from work.
Robin: -smiles- "Yes, getting a Praetor away from work is always difficult to do. Do you just set aside time to talk? Nothing in particular, but to get to know each other better."
Remus: It's more than a break from work... *nods* Sometimes. Though it's a bit more awkward when I already know her and she, well, doesn't remember everything she used to know... No offense, of course, Felicity. Nothing I'm not willing to work through.
Felicity: I'm always afraid around him... Like, not of him but of....feelings.
Robin: "You can always learn more things about her, and yourself." -nods- "Emotions can be terrifying. The heart can ache and hurt, both for good and bad. So happy your heart hurts, so sad it hurts. Have you tried talking about them?"
Remus: Yeah, you're right. There's no harm in getting to know her better. *nods in agreement about emotions being terrifying and takes a drink of his tea*
Felicity: No, I , I don't talk about emotions or feelings or whatever.
Robin: "Any particular reason why?"
Remus *silently drinks his tea*
Felicity: *shrugs*
Robin: "Would you like to give it a try?"
Remus *yum tea*
Felicity: Not with a total stranger, no.
Robin: "With Remus then?"
Remus *just listening in and drinking his tea*
Felicity: *looks at Remus* I don't think he wants to listen. Or he probably already knows, everyone seems to already know how I feel, curse of amnesia.
Robin: "It doesn't matter if they know. Some are blessed with the ability to know emotions of people in the same room as them, doesn't mean you shouldn't speak them aloud." -smiles-
Remus *looks to Felicity* Are you kidding me? I wonder every day what you're thinking, what you're feeling. What's going on in your life. I want to know. I do.
Felicity: Even if it'll hurt you, hurt me more?
Robin: -stands up to get himself something, but mostly so he's not sitting there staring at them as they talk-
Remus: I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you. I want to be there for you.
Felicity: But I mean... if the help, hurts.
Robin: -makes himself some tea, gets a small plate of homemade cookies setting them on the table, goes to take the bag from his tea-
Remus: You mean going after Simons...?
Felicity: *groans* No. Telling you my feelings.
Robin: -mentally rolls his eyes at Mars/Bellona children. still not quite near by-
Remus: As long as you're okay, that's what matters to me. I can take anything.
Felicity: I know, that... *sighs* Okay, I care about you, a heck of a lot. Really, but... you're not the only one... *runs hand through hair* No, that’s not good enough. *thinks* Remus, I love you but I also love, loved, I don't know, someone else...... and that’s why I'm distraught.
Robin: -this is an interesting pen-
Remus: ................oh. *dies inside*
Felicity: *looks like she’s about to cry* see, it hurt you. But it’s different. I love you in a different way then I'll ever love anyone else.
Remus: *his voice hollow* It's okay... *no clue what else to say, even if it wasn't at all okay*
Felicity: *shakes head* No, its not okay. Remus....*grabs his hand and looks him in the eye* Remus, I love you, I really do. You're the only person I admit that to.
Remus: But I'm not the only person it applies to.
Robin: -sits in his chair calmly with a cup of peppermint tea- "You're not the only person it has applied to. But here she is, in front of you. With you."
Felicity: *looking up at him* Remus... please...
Remus *glances at Robin and sighs* You have a point... *looks to Felicity* You're right... I'm sorry.
Robin "You both are humans, we've got emotions, and talking about them even if you think it will hurt the other person, trusting and talking are very important. Because this way you can work through them."
Felicity: It did hurt him though
Remus: I'll be fine. He's right. I prefer knowing.
Robin: "The things a mind will create from panicked emotions of not telling him are often far worse than the truth"
Felicity: ....*silent for a moment* I guess
Remus: Thanks for helping, Robin. And for telling me, Felicity. Really. But... *checks his watch* I better get going.
Robin: -nods- "Anytime either of you, or both of you, would like to come you're more than welcome." -smiles-
Felicity: Yeah... maybe... *mutters a barely audible thanks as she gets up to leave*
Robin: -opens the door for them- "Stay warm."
Remus: Thank you. I might take you up on that. *heads out* Felicity, sorry, but I better get back. Will you be alright?
Felicity: *nods* Yeah, I'll be fine. Go and do your preator business, I'm just gonna head to my apartment.
Remus: Alright. See you around. *leaves for the principia*
Remus *knocks on Felicity's door, picking her up for the appointment*
Felicity: *pretty much didn't care and just wore jeans and a hoodie and opens the door to her apartment, exits, locks door* Lead the way.
Robin: -puts on a pot of hot water-
