[There's a pile of books beside the beanbag this wolf is sitting in, a collection that seems to dip into some fairly advanced magic. Remus frowns as he flips through the pages. He's decided that he really ought to take advantage of his time here, and this little studying session promises to be the first of many. He seems preoccupied, though, and occasionally stares off into the corner of the room instead of at the pages before him, thinking about all he has to look forward to when he heads back to the cottage.]

Most people study at desks. [Stating the obvious is occasionally her thing.]

[novumlupine]

Has anyone ever sat down to a desk and thought, "ah, this is precisely the sort of relaxing comfort that I need to focus entirely on higher brain functions"?

[asthedrivensnow]

Most people focus on study, not relax into it. You look half asleep.

[novumlupine]

Your judgment's a bit off, I'm afraid. Thinking, not tired

[asthedrivensnow]

I said it's what you look like, not what you're doing.

[novumlupine]

What a useful observation.

[asthedrivensnow]

There's no call to be rude.

[magie]

...What is that you're seated on?

[ not that he isn't also curious as to what's being read (as is evident by the sneaky browsing over shoulder stance he has taken up, honed on various modes of public transport), but clearly this is the more pressing matter here. ]

[novumlupine]

Hm? [What, where- there you are.] Ah, the beanbag. Quite comfy, you should try one if you haven't.

[magie]

I don't believe I've seen anything like it before. [ he's about forty years too early for such an invention, tragedy of tragedies. ] Nor anyone practically lounging with such heavy literature.

[novumlupine]

I feel that deep thinking and comfort are beautifully parallel rather than opposed concepts.

Would you like to try one? They're quite comfortable.

[magie]

A sore rear does distract the mind from more important things, I'll give you that.

Well, I wouldn't mind; I'm curious to see how it compares to a hammock or a divan.

[novumlupine]

[Asks the Room for a spare, and it appears.] Give it a go.

[thirdtimelucky]

[Is there room enough for two on that beanbag? No? Lies, Sirius fits there quite nicely, look.]

Sickle for your thoughts.

[novumlupine]

Oof- well, hello.

Erm, well, I'm in the process of... looking up the proper spell to use to search the forest.

[thirdtimelucky]

[Grin. Hiya, Remus.]

Any luck? You looked all pensive and intellectual and esoteric.

[novumlupine]

Yes, actually. That pile there has a few options.

Which means that now I'm mostly just distracting myself.

[thirdtimelucky]

[Leeeeeaning across to grab the topmost book.]

Geographical Oddities; or How to Make Your Grounds Unplottable.

...you know, the perimeter stuff they use for that would be handy.

[novumlupine]

That could, with some modifications, keep newcomers out entirely during certain times of the month. It's tricky and I'd need your help with that one.

The two below are for finding whatever is currently there. Keep in mind that we're looking for animal as well as human inhabitants - I don't intend to indulge any desires for hunting.

[Loki doesn't seem to have come from anywhere. One moment there's space, and the next, it's been taken up by him. He cranes his neck slightly to study the titles.]

Curious. Such titles.

[novumlupine]

-Merlin.

You shouldn't Apparate just next to someone like that, I nearly had a heart attack.

[entrailbound]

- Apparate? [He lifts an eyebrow, settling on a chair that appears conveniently, waiting for an explanation.]

[novumlupine]

Apparently that has nothing to do with what just happened. How very interesting.

[entrailbound]

Perhaps not. Explain it to me all the same.

[novumlupine]

Magical transportation. Shift in space from one location to another instantaneously.
