There was a healthy glow to her as he sat back to admire her again, pulling her up with him as he reclined. "It's Saturday, you don't have classes, I no longer have my internship…what should we do?" that mischievous shine never left his eyes./p

Just talk and enjoy each other's company." His warm breath on her neck drove her towards the edge again,/p

He chuckled, pulling back and looking at her with another adoring gaze./p

Seren managed to free herself from his grasp and slip from the bed, heading for the small, attached bathroom, Remus watching as she moved, her eyes never leaving him, enticing him to follow her./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Remus climbed off the bed and seconds later the door to the small bathroom closed./p

p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""it's sort of like a more intense partnership, with the mark alone you can do things like telepathic links, sharing memories like you did in Hogsmeade just before Christmas, but it's deeper than that."/p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""So…more like we just share everything now?"/p

Seren smiled, "Anything the other is feeling, we can feel simultaneously if the other so wishes it." her eyebrows suddenly knit together, "I don't like that part of this." His lips twitched up into a warm smile, "I'll only feel what you want me to, and it doesn't just pertain to the bad things, it's the happy things too…think of it like being an empath, being able to push your emotions onto me." Seren took another bite of her food when a sudden feeling of happiness washed over her./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""Like this." He smiled, "I can pass on the feeling that I have, being happy that you're here, right now." A pleasant warmth settled in her stomach, almost like butterflies and she couldn't help the contagious smile that tugged at the corners of her mouth./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""like a more emotional form of legilimensy."/p

And if something is wrong, I'll know and I will do my best to get to you as soon as I am able." The smile on her face didn't falter as she continued eating her breakfast, finally setting aside the plate when she was finished./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""You didn't eat the beans?" Seren regarded the offending legumes with apprehension and Remus couldn't help the indignant snort of laughter that escaped him, "No…hate the smell and the texture." He laughed louder, "I shouldn't laugh…but I noticed all those months ago in the pub and just thought you didn't want them…" he continued to laugh, "'S not funny!" she pouted, giving him an annoyed look./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"Remus quickly finished his own food, patting the spot on his lap for her to come sit, "I'm sorry, Love, I wasn't being mean, it just didn't occur to me until now." Seren only continued to pout as she curled up on his lap, resting her head in the crook between his neck and shoulder as one of his arms wrapped securely around her waist, poking a spot he knew was ticklish, drawing a startled gasp from her which earned him another annoyed look, "Don't…"/p

p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5;""I'm something, but I don't think a "Dirty cheat" is quite right." he smirked, "if I was anything it would be selfish." His free hand caught her chin, tilting her head up so he could look into her eyes, "If I were able…I would do everything in my power to keep you to myself." Seren's breath caught, "If I were able to, then I'd lock you away in a gilded cage because you're mine and mine alone." His thumb lightly traced along her bottom lip,/p
