Lost (Ransom & Amaris)

He earned a chuckle from Shira at his response. He chuckled back, and nipped at her neck lightly. "I'm not broken silly" she teased, leaning against him. Her voice was so soft, so happy. Remus couldn't help but smile. No longer a grin, playboy, but instead sweet and happy. "You might as well be, the way I'm gonna treat you. I'll be your slave," he teased lightly, smiling. She spoke up again. "Guess we'd better get out of here?" She suggested, her voice uneasy. Remus figured it was cause she didn't like this place. He nodded, and began to walk, slowly, so the injured maiden beside him could keep up. His mind was spinning, his thoughts confused and lost, perhaps more than he felt even. He hated this.

Shira rolled her eyes.

"Oh please no"

She laughed, and her voice was like liquid honey, sweet and nice. Remus smiled. She was sweet, and he liked her. She forgave him. She spoke again.

"So I see you scared Ladon off?"

Remus looked confused for a second, forgetting who Ladon was. Then, he remembered. He looked puzzled, and sniffed around, opening his maw slightly. No Ladon.

"Honestly? No. I completely forgot about him. I told him to screw off, and that was about it,"

He admitted it easily. Everything came so easily with Shira. He glanced around, looking for his claw marks. He spotted the first one, and smiled, leading the limping Shira out. They were almost out when her voice broke his thoughts.

"Remus, what you gonna do after we get out of here?"

He turned his head to look at her. His facade was unreadable as he stared at her, trying to interfere with her thoughts. He wished he could tell what she was thinking.

"Honestly? We have to get you to somewhere safe, where there's water and food until your foot is healed. So, you're first priority,"

He smiled at her, and continued to walk until he could see the night sky just outside of the cave entrance.

"Either way...it worked"

Shira spoke smoothly, a song to Remus' ears. No longer was she yelling at him, or whimpering in pain, but now she was happy.

"Yes. I'm glad it did. I wouldn't want anyone to distract us from each other. It's such a beautiful night. It's a bit like you,"

He smiled at her. Was this real Remus? Perhaps it was. He spoke like this a lot, although perhaps more flirtatious. But was this Remus speaking from his heart, or just another one of his foolish games? He wasn't sure himself.

"Thank you. Quiet night tonight"

Shira spoke softly, and Remus nodded, agreeing. He lead her across the desert. He was hoping to reach the Oasis soon, so the pair could hang out there until she was better. That was his plan.
